NEWTOWN, Conn –-(Ammoland.com)- The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the petition for rehearing and petition for en banc rehearing in Jackson v. San Francisco.
National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) had filed a joint amicus brief supporting rehearing and en banc review.
The denial allows to stand two San Francisco ordinances, the first banning ammunition that serves no sporting purpose (common self-defense ammunition) or that is designed to expand or fragment upon impact (hollow point ammunition) and the second requiring handguns to be stored in a locked container at home or disabled with a trigger lock when not carried.
Gun owners and organizations filed a lawsuit against the city seeking to enjoin enforcement of the two ordinances on Second Amendment grounds.
A federal trial court denied this request and the denial was subsequently affirmed by a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit.

The only legislation that is worse is the DC legislation that classifies bullets, powder, spent casings from cartridges or shotguns, primers live or fired as well as dud rounds as ammunition.
If you don’t have a FOID and have any of the above you are arrested on the spot.
Yup, the Lord is waiting for all the rest of the crazies to move to San Fran so he can chop it off into the Pacific. Its coming, trust me Im an Indian. Hollow point ammo saves lives in the event one has to defend themselves in a crowded area. A solid point bullet wont stop in the perp. It will continue on through injuring who knows how many innocent people. The hollow point will expand and stop inside the perp, avoiding any collateral damage. So, what, is this court made up of the same crazies that inhabit San Francisco?
You folks forget first off San Francisco is a sewer. You can walk down the street naked with a joint but don’t get caught with a hollow point. You can say that it is a useful load for hunting & defense but don’t forget who you are dealing with. people who have no common sense & don’t care about the facts. If it harasses law abiding citizens then it must be a good law. So move to the US if you don’t like their stupid laws.
If the Government can buy hollow point ammo for target practice, why can’t the citizens of the Bay Area be able to buy it?
And let every single law enforcement officer and agency live by this law as well.
Hollow points are hunting ammunition, so what are they talking about?
Secondly shall not be infringed ? These liberal 9th circuit judges have absolutely no clue of word meanings. Go back to school and learn the English vocabulary and how it pertains to law.
