A panel - not the whole court
"A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals"

The article does say Semi-
"A federal appeals court has ruled that California's ban on the sale of semiautomatic weapons to adults under age 21 is unconstitutional."
[ bold added ]

The ruling - PDF
No. 20-56174 D.C. No. 3:19-cv-01226- L-AHG
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

MATTHEW JONES; THOMAS FURRH; PWGG, L.P., DBA Poway Weapons and Gear and PWG Range; NORTH COUNTY SHOOTING CENTER, INC.; BEEBE FAMILY ARMS AND MUNITIONS LLC, DBA BFAM and Beebe Family Arms and Munitions; FIREARMS POLICY COALITION, INC.; FIREARMS POLICY FOUNDATION; THE CALGUNS FOUNDATION; SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION; KYLE YAMAMOTO, Plaintiffs-Appellants,

v. ROB BONTA, * in his official capacity as Attorney General of the State of California; MARTIN HORAN, in his official capacity as Director of the Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms; DOES, 1–20, Defendants-Appellees.
* Rob Bonta has been substituted for his predecessor, Xavier Becerra, as California Attorney General under Fed. R. App. P. 43(c)(2).

The panel affirmed in part and reversed in part the district court's denial of plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin, under the Second Amendment, California's bans on the sale of long guns and semiautomatic centerfire rifles to anyone under the age of 21.

The panel held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to enjoin the requirement that young adults obtain a hunting license to purchase a long gun. But the district court erred in not enjoining an almost total ban on semiautomatic centerfire rifles.

9th Circuit Court backing the Second? Were they day drinking again and accidentally backed the Constitution playing "Truth or Dare"?
 
We may be witnessing the highwater mark of the originalist/historical analysis of constitutional rights. This case comes on the heels of Alito's draft opinion on abortion. Originalist/historical constitutional jurisprudence is great for "gun" owners. But if all you got is a "holster", oh well....

They were at the Sig Freedom Days in Phoenix last weekend and had the opportunity to chat with them a while. Sounds like they are fighting (many) cases behind the scenes. I'm going to be checking into them more; had a good conversation and they seem to be heading in a good direction.
 
"America would not exist without the heroism of the young adults who fought and died in our revolutionary army. Today we reaffirm that our Constitution still protects the right that enabled their sacrifice: the right of young adults to keep and bear arms," said JudgeWel Ryan Nelson.

Gotta get tingles from that. Well said... lest we forget!
 
It goes to "En Banc"--IIRC 9th doesn't do Full Court but rather Panel - Banc (think "bigger panel") - SCOTUS. This is part of why the 9th needs to be split...
I couldn't remember what the word was, I didn't know the 9th circus didn't do true en banc hearings, and it's almost double the size of the other circuits.
 
A California law restricting gun and ammunition sales to persons 21-years-old and up has been ruled unconstitutional, sparking hope the move will trigger similar rulings in other states.

The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the law violates the Second Amendment and a San Diego judge should have blocked what is called "an almost total ban on semiautomatic centerfire rifles" for young adults.
"America would not exist without the heroism of the young adults who fought and died in our revolutionary army," Judge Ryan Nelson wrote in the 2-1 ruling. "Today we reaffirm that our Constitution still protects the right that enabled their sacrifice: the right of young adults to keep and bear arms."

of all places the 9th circuit court!!

There is hope Keep the fight!
