CITIZEN GROUPS UNITE TO CHALLENGE MARYLAND FIREARMS BAN IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT

[Pay2Play]

Thank you. It's good to see the fight still going strong.

Is that the thud I heard earlier. You guys rock (rock n roll).

Is there a fund to donate to for the suit?

"You can help support the litigation effort by sending checks payable to the AGC. Please insert "litigation fund" on the memo line. ALL donations AGC receives will be used to support this ongoing litigation effort. See address below."

I very much like the emphasis on banning entire classes of firearms in common use. However, I expect O'Malley and his henchmen to respond with "public safety trumps individual rights" or something to that effect.

I certainly hope the judge asks fun questions like "Mr. O'Malley, in the Regulated Firearm list, item 11 is 'Bushmaster semi-auto rifle.' I have the website open, and I want to know which one is prohibited? They appear to have many ... And exactly what constitutes a copy?"

I like how the complaint is written. I would be happier if O'Malley wasn't going to be spending more of my tax dollars fighting this to SCOTUS.

Awesome.... Donation made .... Thanks for all you do!

it took almost 2 years of this site being online before someone even found a picture of a "bushmaster semi-auto rifle". I'm sure most people think its an ar15, not an ugly plastic bullpup.

I sent money, but didn't see or missed where to say it was for litigation fund. Either way, I know the money is going to a good use.

I thought the same thing!

 

[hdatontodo]

$50 more to MSI

Thanks !

 

[Nodak Kid]

Thank you and good luck. Donation to follow in the very near future. Just trying to figure out which group would benefit the most when pushing this forward.

God Bless and hope this works. Somewhere out there, there has to be judge who either believes, or at least understands the 2nd Amend.

Let's hope we can find him/her


Keep on pushing back

First off. Awesome! I don't want to derail thread, just have a question... I thought we could still transport our banned firearms.

yeah they have that wrong (more drama I guess...)

no worries (fingers crossed)

There were several things in there I thought odd... but I know they have better research and resources than I do....

I'm running with it.

You can. The law bans possession and transport, then it makes exceptions for who is allowed to possess and transport. It is misleading, but whatever.

There are several things in here that are questionable and that could have been worded a lot better, but I'm not the one getting paid to write these up, so there's really no point in me discussing those things. I will run with it as well.

How can that be proven? A legally incorrect opinion can be appealed. I think the good news is that the fact-finding aspect of the case will be relatively simple. It will mostly be legal argument. Bad factual conclusions cannot be reversed on appeal unless they are really bad. Bad legal conclusions can be reversed on appeal if they're just incorrect.

One thought --- this case is big. I will be poored over by 1L s for years. This may affect the quality of the reasoning ...

Give em hell, John! Check on the way over the weekend.

no mention of the, and I quote the AG letter, "never challenged" "assault pistol" ban?

seems a good fit, with the ada angle, and pre ban owners

So what has our NRA dollars gotten us Marylanders? - nothing that I can see. Even after the president of NRA, who lives in Md, said they would file law suit - right!

MSI is where our dollars should go
