    Ummm, they did....They were the bank roll for Kolbe v Hogan.

    But you weren't member here back then, and you probably have no clue about Kolbe. Perhaps this would be a great time for you to search the subject and get caught up?

    Looks like Ms. Moss Attorney Of Record in both MD cases (Bianchi & Call) has the education and experience (gender might also be a plus) for the job.* Lawyers in this firm have NRA 2A litigation experience, and are proven heavy hitters.**

    The firm’s motto “Victory or Death,” . . . seems unprofessional, but under the circumstances is the right attitude, or so it seems to me.*** For those who might think Ms. Moss may need tutoring regarding arguments . . . her email address is available below.

    Regards

    Looks like this case is well on its way to be dismissed sua sponte by the judge.

    Then go to Court of Appeals.

    For the foregoing reasons, Maryland’s ban on “assault weapons” violates the Second
    Amendment. Nevertheless, Plaintiffs concede that this Court “has ‘no discretion’ but to dismiss”
    29
    the complaint, Eriline Co. S.A. v. Johnson, 440 F.3d 648, 655 n.10 (4th Cir. 2006), because binding
    Fourth Circuit precedent controls this case.

    Obama appointee.

    Good news: He ruled that the 6th district gerrymandering that knocked Roscoe Bartlett out and flipped a house seat to the Dems was unconstitutional, a ruling that made Frosh very upset.

    Bad news: He's an Obama appointee and refused to give Sessions 30 days to review the consent decree that the mayor, Baltimore City PD, and the Obama Justice Dept. signed during the transitional period from the Obama Administration's control of the Justice Dept. to the Trump Administration's change of leadership.

    Seems he's got some basis in being impartial (the consent decree wasn't really that big of a deal) but who knows how he'll go with this.

    Then go to Court of Appeals.

    Yep!

    Bianchi is progressing precisely according to plan. The fact that Kolbe is controlling law in the 4th Circuit (where it is extremely unlikely to be reversed) is, for now, a positive factor in that it expedites the Bianchi appeal process. The simple objective is to get Bianchi out of the District Court and before the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, then to the SC where (and while) five conservative Justices can (and maybe will) control the result.

    For those here who apparently think Moss (and her co-counsel) are clueless . . . if you wish to be helpful, her email address is included in post #10. Conceding that the future is never completely certain, 2A litigation outcomes in courts controlled by Democrats are almost always adverse. Grounded in basic arithmetic; 2A ligation strategy in this case is not complicated. It is clear (at least to me) that Moss understands the math supporting “common use” and that five is more than four.

    “[O]verturned by a court competent to do so,” under these circumstances, is a politic reference to the SC.*

    Page 1.
    “Plaintiffs acknowledge that the result they seek is contrary to Kolbe v. Hogan, 849 F.3d 114 (4th Cir. 2017) (en banc), and therefore that this Court “has ‘no discretion’ but to dismiss” Plaintiffs’ complaint. Eriline Co. S.A. v. Johnson, 440 F.3d 648, 655 n.10 (4th Cir. 2006). Nevertheless, Plaintiffs believe that precedent should be overturned by a court competent to do so.”

    And for 25 years, THIS is what I wrongly "assumed" the NRA would be doing.

    He is definitely anti-gun. His sua sponte order demonstrates exactly how he intends to rule on the case. I suspect the next order will be to dismiss the case.
