It will likely go to the 9th, perhaps be upheld only to then have an enbanc hearing where it will be reversed. We've seen this before. Will SCOTUS take it up?...........fuck if I know. I hope they will and that they will rule in our favor.
Att. General Rob Bonta has already made a statement, just after the ruling was announced,, that they will appeal..
The ruling may survive the appeal just like Benitez's ruling on magazine bans to then just be appealed again en banc like you said
