They've been messing with me for 7 years. I finally got fed up with them after they tried to contact my client and threatened to file a ethics complaint against them.
It got really bad in 2013. they were pushing for the Ninth Circuit to adopt the legal theory that ammunition in "common use" was protected. That is logically wrong to begin with and it is horrible because that argument means that uncommon ammunition would not be protected at all. No heightened scrutiny. So I filed this supplemental brief in one of my appeals that argues all ammunition used by protected arms is protected. The Ninth Circuit adopted my argument which both Justice Thomas in a dissent from denial of cert and several other circuit have approved of.
Linked to below is the brief where I represented the Heller opinion using C++ logic to establish that all ammunition is protected that is used by protected arms. Please take a look.

Please ignore the typos I normally would never submit something with typos in it but this was a rush job and i was out of time. It likely did not hurt that Judge Ikuta and Judge Smith were on that panel.
"Counsel would like to thank Jonathan Koppenhaver..."
...Is that referring to War Machine?
Looks good to me, except for the typos of course. Why did you file a supplemental brief? I've only ever had to do that at the Court's request, in response to a 28(j) letter.
