The plaintiffs are appealing. They are stopping (staying) the district case so the plaintiffs can appeal. It does not mean much.Well that's certainly interesting....
What would explain this?
It appears there's a May 4, 2023 entry now:
It is "dangerous AND unusual", not "dangerous OR unusual". Thus the "common use test".They were very clear in Heller and Bruen that the "dangerous and unusual weapons" can be prohibited. The question that remains is to figure out what should be included and what should be excluded from 2A protection.
Those in current government can't fathom that it would be tyrannical and can't understand why such things would be needed.No, AR-15s and their ilk are precisely among the class of firearms/weapons the founders had in mind when drafting the 2A.
It is a little more ambiguous than you are suggesting. Heller uses both. The Blackstone reference after SCOTUS's use of "dangerous and unusual" lists "dangerous or unusual". I don't believe it really matters because both words are getting at the same thing. It is really about society. They did ban things when the only use was associated with criminality. Look at the reasons why concealed carry was banned. The Bowie knife seems to follow the same pattern.It is "dangerous AND unusual", not "dangerous OR unusual". Thus the "common use test".
All weapons are dangerous, or they wouldn't be weapons. AR-15's are NOT unusual.

Thanks. So I'm guessing it's going to be a while until this works its way through an appeal on this specific issue?

It will be a while at the district level. They will likely appeal all the way to SCOTUSThanks. So I'm guessing it's going to be a while until this works its way through an appeal on this specific issue?
A very long road ahead then...It will be a while at the district level. They will likely appeal all the way to SCOTUS
This is a great point, and it's true except in the case of the Clinton's. "Suicides" involving them involve multiple rounds fired.Manipulation #1 is that includes AD's , suicides . and putting down injured animals . Remove those , and the average jumps to something like 3.7 rounds fired in actual defensive situiations .
