Here's my theory on why the 9th circuit all of the sudden is spitting out pro-gun rulings; they don't want these issues going on to SCOTUS where they'll get carved in stone.
Better to make a pro 2A ruling at the circuit level where it doesn't go nation wide, and where it can be overturned once Trump is gone "and everything gets back to normal". But if these rulings are made by SCOTUS, they become nation wide and very very difficult to reverse (especially since Trump is packing the courts with "Nazis").
More than anything, they don't want more Hellers.
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

Can a citizen appeal the 9ths decision? Say a conservative with money just to get it to the USSC? Maybe someone who resides in CA and CO?
Then again, the 9th just voted to uphold the Microstamping law in California about a month after the California Supreme Court ruled that an impossibility of compliance is not a sufficient reason for invalidating a law.
