      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      I've slowly come around to this. Like you said, they want Benitez to take all the heat and light, and while everyone is firing broadsides at Benitetz as a dangerous and irresponsible judge, they slip in their rulings in the dead of night; so they can still attend the local DC/Annapolis cocktail...

      MD AG files Amicus Brief for RI mag limit

      Is there a way for a common citizen of Maryland to file a response to this specific letter by the MD AG?

      New ATF regulations regarding gun shows and transfers between FFLs?

      Also, it effectively limits gun shows to in-state dealers; because there's no way a out of state FFL is going to rent a table and put only ten guns onto it -- even if those guns are worth a lot (Pre '64 winchesters, etc etc)

      MSI v. Hogan - The Challenge Against the Handgun Qualification License Proceeds

      If politics weren't/aren't a thing with judges, we wouldn't have needed Bruen to actually get judges to start ruling in our favor.

      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      Also, if they had released Bianchi before MSI v Hogan; then the State would have had time to fine-tune it's arguments based upon the Bianchi opinion. Waiting until after MSI v. Hogan is argued to drop Bianchi removes this option. EDIT: I incorrectly called it Kolbe, instead of MSI v Hogan. With...

      MSI v. Hogan - The Challenge Against the Handgun Qualification License Proceeds

      I think that one reason for Bianchi taking so long is that there's internal politics going on within the Circuit -- if they had released Bianchi before arguing MSI v. Hogan -- it would have given the State time to finetune/change it's arguments based off Bianchi being released beforehand...

      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      I've been doing some more thinking about this case. I think 4CA is slow rolling it deliberately. They know they're going to have to rule in line with Bruen, lest Big Daddy Clarence ruin them as the case was specifically sent back by Big Daddy Clarence with instructions to rule correctly. They...

      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      Look at what CA5 just dropped in the Lautenberg Amendment case. https://assets.nationbuilder.com/firearmspolicyfoundation/pages/3970/attachments/original/1675361904/United_States_v_Rahimi_Opinion.pdf Closing words: 5th Circuit is saying the brutal truth here. We really want to keep...

      ATF Coming After Firearms with Stabilizing Braces

      I expect nasty letters to go out from MSP the moment this is published in the Federal Register.

      Magazine Ban

      Right now, the "magazine ban" is irritating but not critical, as it's only on TRANSFERRING them within MD, not POSSESSING them. As others have alluded here, a pro quality case to challenge a gun law can cost easily of upwards of $5K in fees to get started, going into the $20K or more territory...

      Cargill v Garland (5th Circuit Bump Stock Case)

      As I've been pointing out -- Bruen is gently reminding judges of the realities of their position.

      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      Point. It's possible that could happen -- but you have to keep in mind that Bianchi v Frosh was scheduled on SCOTUS conferences for a very very long time -- it kept getting relisted and relisted for conference, before finally being GVR'ed post-Bruen -- surely someone on 4CA noticed that...

      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      One of SCOTUS' jobs is to regulate the lower courts -- they don't get deep into the weeds, being very hands off. But they can order lower courts around if necessary. "You did this wrong. Here's what you did wrong. Rule correctly this time." We saw a glimpse of this with Bruen nuking a lot of...

      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      I think this is all deliberate politics by 4CA. Most of the post-Bruen decisions and laws that violate Bruen are by one of two groups of people: A.) Politicians or B.) Low Ranking Judges. By Contrast, the 4th Circuit Court is pretty much one step below Clarence Thomas; and as such...they know...

      Maryland Handgun Roster

      Maryland Handgun Roster

      I'll kick in a few hundred bucks if you're serious about this. I'm sure many other MDSers would kick in as well to get the 1988 SNS law and the Handgun Roster nuked from orbit.

      Maryland Handgun Roster

      Challenging the handgun roster now that we have Bruen will be much easier; but it won't be a total walkover, as MSP has been very good at running it. Adding new guns to the roster is a formality in all but name for most guns; just a delay of 6 months; and MSP doesn't play games with SKUs (i.e...

      Maryland Gun Shows and the SCOTUS Ruling

      There are several things that need to be done to bring back MD Gun shows. The following things need to die in no particular order, and here's why: 1.) 1996 and 2013 Regulated/Assault Weapons Ban. In 1996, they made a lot of rifles "regulated", which was a 7 day wait and registration with MD...

      Hogan Addresses G and S!!!

      I can't help but notice how certain cases go on the slow boat, while others get "rocket docketed". If Hogan pre Bruen had said G&S was illegal; there would have been a rocket docketed case that would have reached the 4th Circuit in weeks.

      Hogan Addresses G and S!!!

      If he had done this pre-Bruen, he would have been eviscerated; and MD courts would have quickly ruled that he didn't have the authority and overruled his decision. Post-Bruen; the odds of court lawsuits overturning his decision are 0.000001% (since nobody wants to annoy SCOTUS) so he can do it...
