Circuit Court Reversal
The Ninth Circuit reconsidered the case as directed and on June 30, 2006, reversed its decision and found in favor of the United States. In its opinion, the court wrote:
- "We therefore hold that Congress had a rational basis for concluding that in the aggregate, possession of homemade machineguns could substantially affect interstate commerce in machineguns."

Famous quotes containing the words circuit, court and/or reversal:
“We are all hostages, and we are all terrorists. This circuit has replaced that other one of masters and slaves, the dominating and the dominated, the exploiters and the exploited.... It is worse than the one it replaces, but at least it liberates us from liberal nostalgia and the ruses of history.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“World history is a court of judgment.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Perversity depends on reversal and substitution.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
