Dissent Excoriates Ninth Circuit Refusal of en banc Rehearing of Second Amendment

I kind of thought something like that was the case, but wasn’t 100% sure. Your clarification makes perfect sense.
Many thanks, much obliged! :-)

I reread it, and can't find good news.

Here it is again. Tell me what I'm missing:

The District Court in Washington State found that Mai did not have a case. Mai appealed to the Ninth Circuit. On 11 March, 2020, in a unanimous decision from the three-judge panel, the Ninth Circuit upheld the District Court decision.

Mai asked for an en banc review of his case. En banc reviews of Second Amendment cases seem to be routine for the Ninth Circuit, when the cases favor protecting Second Amendment rights.

This case, which had already ruled against Second Amendment protections, was, unsurprisingly, not granted an en banc review.

So because he was committed when 17, and the record was cleared by Washington state, the Court will not let him off the law, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4), which forbids Mai from purchasing or possessing a firearm. So he cannot own a firearm.

The courts said "No firearm for you".

Methinks cases such as this are to them(govt) a slippery slope leading to the end of the NFA,GCA,FOPA,Lautenberg etc. Excepting provision for prohibition of arms during periods of disqualification....no open ended permanent DQ unless incarcerated/committed to death....
