I understand your frustration, but this is a win. I know CA has appealed the stay. I also know that the 9th Circuit has been caught playing reindeer games with other gun rights/2A cases, specifically by judges on the 9th circuit calling out their colleagues in a very public and messy way. The 9th is not used to having their dirty laundry aired, both by jurists AND a number of YouTube Channels by legal scholars pointing out their perfidy. Sunshine is the best disinfectant and the 9th is used to doing what they want without much blowback. That ship has sailed and SCOTUS kicking back a number of cases, plus Judge Carney, not just Judge Benitez, putting forth these masterful rulings/orders along with the recent rulings about Hawaii's knife laws and 2A issues are a rising tide that the die-hard anti-gun jurists will have a much harder time resisting.
We are winning. Even though the yoke of injustice still hangs heavy upon normal Californians, the end is in sight.
