But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit reversed the District Court on appeal, upholding the regulation based on what it called the "common sense understanding" that a 10-day "cooling off" period for gun buyers can help to reduce gun violence.

9th Circus again. I was under the impression that appellate courts ruled on the law, not on the basis of "common sense understandings" with not a single shred of evidence to back them up.

“common sense understandings”


In other words, their personal prejudices.

The Nutty Ninth never used “the law” for many of their wacked out decisions. “Common sense understandings” without evidence is like saying that the “world is flat” because some ships never come back and they had to have fallen off of it.
