Petition (Thanks Hansel & Gura)

Here you go folks. Thanks to Mr. Gura and Mr. Hansel.

If someone wants to host it, feel free.

I will create a new thread too since this does deserve a whole thread unto itself.

No wonder it took them so long to apply. That's some heavy reading. I especially like the inclusion of Shuttlesworth.

 

[LCPIWB]

163 pages. That is some reading.
Well, something else to bring up at informal hearing. Considering the deny letter was trying to say "we won in the 4th. Game over."

Excellent - thank you for posting Cato's brief.

Yes, thank you.. Very well written brief and one point we all say...name that tune!!

“The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government—even the Third Branch of Government—the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon.” Heller, 554 U.S. at 634.

I like how they ended it too...

All that would change is that this Court would put the Second Amendment on an equal footing with its constitutional neighbors.

I really like the prior restraint angle that these latest round of briefs are taking. You can have 1 amendment in a vacuum when it comes to enumerated rights, but not 10.

Prior restraint in a 2A context has been a total dud of an argument. It's a correct argument, but courts always ignore it, as if it was never said.

Yup. 2A, the bastard child of the Bill of Rights.
