My left hand hasn’t been in such good shape since puberty.

I limit myself to 5 paint chips a day.

Arrrr Matey!

Until it is reversed en banc as usual.

Honestly NFL is the only think on live TV I can remember purposely putting on in years.

Correlation != Causation.

The reality is it shouldn’t happen at all. But with the Democrats trying to mimic Colorado in NY, CA, and somewhere else (AZ?) the republicans need to do something. At the end of the day SCOTUS needs to smack it all down as unconstitutional political BS.

The entire statement is “interesting balancing”. Something explicitly prohibited by Bruen.

How much you want to bet that the time it takes to update the NICS system is 100% equal to the time required to get a stay from the Circuit court? Also, it doesn’t vacate any state restrictions so you’re still F’d in NJ.

It sounds like they’re following the process. The court has issued a decision but the effect of that decision isn’t in force until they issue a mandate. So MD has until 12/11 to enforce the current law.

Let’s even lower the bar. Show me one suspect identified due to microstamping. The whole idea of microstamping is such a snipe hunt that it would be laughable if it weren’t being pursued. Millions to implement all the logistical, organizational, and engineering changes reduced to vapor by a $10 Dremel.

It’s only ridiculous idea until you realize that causing problems for the legal gun owner is the goal.

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.
