I have one. From Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution: To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

The Federal Courts have absolutely no jurisdiction on this issue. None.

What does the Constitution have to do with the decisions of judges in the 9th Circuit?

Congress gave jurisdiction over this issue to the courts--establishing courts is another one of their powers--when they made 28 USC 1331 law. The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. It would take another act of Congress to remove jurisdiction from the district courts.

Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution

Which is cited in the law.

However, unconstitutional rulemaking and regulation can be overturned by the judiciary. Heck, we'd probably have no legal exercise of our 2nd Amendment rights if that weren't the case.
