The District Court in Hawaii, which upheld the ban on butterfly knives, referenced Caetano.

And the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling upholding Caetano’s conviction referenced Heller and MacDonald.IIRC it was those references that SCOTUS referred to as “frivolous”.

Also,I don’t know the complete history of the Caetano case. All I know for sure is that the conviction was upheld by the highest state court in Massachusetts (the “Supreme Judicial Court”) and was struck down...like I said,9-0...by SCOTUS.I don’t know which Federal lower courts (if any) ruled in Caetano’s favor and which (if any) ruled in the Commonwealth’s favor.
