That case is certainly interesting beyond the 2A. Equal protection but also the notion that the defendant was complying with his home state laws while in Mass. And in other’s defense the article should have led with that case and not 80% fluff about a non-answer by the NJ AG.

First you’d need actual legislation allow/forcing it. From what I remember there were some legitimate non-2A concerns about the way the previous legislation was written.

Only if “sooner than we think” is before the Heat-Death of the Universe, then you’d be right.

How about no.

Good video that the en banc opinion is completely unfounded

I mean.. it could have happened. These same people are are a threat to down airliners with laser pointers.

Are your tears made of vodka? Then it would be appropriate. The fact that she has been propped up like Weekend at Congress is tantamount to elder abuse. She should have retired decades ago.

It’s called Standing and is One of the cornerstones of the US legal system. Basically one must show “damages” in order to challenge the law. The State is very good at manipulating their interpretation of standing to get cases thrown out. For example “We have an obviously unconstitutional law and despite public statements saying we were going to abuse it we have not yet enforced the law therefor nobody can show damages or claim standing”

I don’t understand their strategy though. Usually they try to delay things for as long as possible. That’s why the 9th GVR’d it back to Benitez in the first place. Now they decide to skip a step? Almost like they want to rule on the case before something happens.

This may be a good thing in the long term. The first time through the 3-judge panel at the 9th sided with Benitez only to have it reversed during en banc review. This time we save time jumping right to en banc. No point in wasting the time and money with the 3-judge panel when the 9th already knows how they’ll decide. The other thing is that the 9th is between a rock and a hard place. SCOTUS already GVR’d the case once to “reconsider under Bruen”. Benitez’s ruling is very well reasoned in that context. The 9th will be hard pressed to overturn without Olympic-level mental gymnastics.

I don’t think it would have direct impact. The result of this emergency conference wouldn’t set national precedent like Bruen did. It would certainly be a shot across the bow, though.

Good.

The whole argument that the “average” matters is stupid. As if the relative rarity of the event overshadows that the event occurred at all. “If it saves but one life!!”…”no, not those lives!”

My grandmother also taught me “never stick your dick in crazy”.

Probably to avoid having CA cry to the 9th circus for an emergency stay (for the entire appeal process). Instead by issuing his own stay it disarms CA from trying that tactic and also holds them to a timeline.

CA district court issued injunction against the ban (again). Stayed for 10 days to give time for CA to appeal to the 9th circus (again).

Overton window..

It’s because the NJSP troopers keep eating the crayons.

Laughs in Mt Washington

Certainly their original policy was concerning but we should give them some credit for fixing it. Even if it’s only due to the severe backlash, the end result is a better policy and more customer control. That’s a good thing.

It’s more alarming that they have access codes at all.

It’s all fun and games until they treat possession of a non-stamped firing pin the same as a full auto sear, folding stock, bayonet lug, or two working brain cells. They don’t care if it’s useless. Or stupid. They will use it to fuck over someone’s life and scare everyone else.

Yes. Those are most of the reasons this is a stupid and unimplememtable idea. I can’t say all the reasons because it is so stupid and so unimplememtable that there may be even more we are not stupid enough to figure out yet.

How do you spell “GTFO” in microstamp?
