The 9th could decide to review the decision en banc, meaning all the Judges in the 9th circuit take a whack at it together. But it's unlikely. The ruling has a pretty solid foundation. Many lay people would be shocked at the notion that the states aren't bound by the constitution in it's entirety.

The conspicuous absence of ANY reporting of this landmark decision by any major network is laughable.

As redbullman said, there can be no appeal to change the incorporation decision. The only appeal can be by Nordyke, which cannot reverse incorporation.

Fair point, I meant to convey that it will make it's way to the Supreme's somehow.

Who is going to appeal?? Nordyke lost but incorporation was spelled out. The government can't appeal they won, right?

Two of them were democrats….though, one may ascertain that in theory, one does not legislate from the bench so your assertion as to their political affiliation should have no bearing on their analysis of law. Since this is the ninth court, it is all but understandable that you have concluded their being democrats would have influenced their decision, as this court in notorious for its liberal analysis of law, consistently appealed to and repealed by SCOTUS.

This could be a problem for gun control advocates indeed, though gun control only works if enforced in a responsible manner, gun free zones in areas that the government(at any level) fails to enforce are simply areas where a law abiding citizen must not carry a firearms but anyone willing to buck the system may carry one within the borders of the zone… Certainly, after they are caught(after they have shot up the unarmed occupants of the gun free zone), they will be held liable for breaking the law and carrying a gun into the gun free zone, but one must ask why the gun free zone would ever exist if it can not be responsibly enforced?

A lack of media coverage on a pro-gun ruling. Shocking. Would never have seen that coming.
