Decision in Kolbe!

NRA's supplemental amicus brief, filed today. A very good read.

Thanks for posting.

Yes. Clear, concise, logical and, dare I say, the very embodiment of "common sense".

We'll have to see whether the court in question operates with any appreciation of these sterling qualities.

And very well written in lawyer's prose. Well crafted, which is quite difficult and thus demands respect for that reason alone.

Solidly crafted, indeed... And they even managed to work in this subtle little ditty (emphasis mine)...

A telescoping stock, for example, is merely an adjustable shoulder stock, which allows a person to change the length of her gun to fit her stature, in the same way that she can change the height of an adjustable office chair.

Another distaff reference a few sentences later, as well.

And...the subtle introduction of the feminine pronoun.

And...the subtle introduction of the feminine pronoun.

Kinda my point

Clarified my post.

I love the opening sentence:

The National Rifle Association of America, Inc. (“NRA”) is the oldest civil
rights organization in America and the Nation’s foremost defender of Second
Amendment rights.

My added emphasis.

Makes a great trivia question.

Remember, the most effective shaming at the Maryland legislature this time 'round, was accusing them of being "civil rights violators". Terror Watchlist ban, Campus Carry ban, etc.

The DemocRats simply had no good answer or explanation for that accusation... and folded.

It is a big hammer and we must not hesitate to use it.

Thus; we need a little bit of "diversity" in our protests...

Ooohhh they threw a Marbury v Madison haymaker in there.

Yes, yes we do, and not just from the opposite sex, but one step at a time from whatever direction we can get it from.

Wow...just wow. A thing of beauty tis.

Precisely.

I read about half of it; have to get back to work...this ditty stuck out though...

It should hardly be surprising, in a republic such as ours, where the People are sovereign, that legal regulation to some extent reflects the People’s common usages and practices. Thus, the complete and utter absence of any widespread tradition of banning the types of arms at issue in this case is powerful evidence that the People do not deem them improper instruments for personal use.

I finally had the chance to read the NRA supplemental brief. The way it's worded and with the cases and decisions referenced, anyone with common sense would have to agree that FSA2013 is unconstitutional, and the decision needs to be reversed and the law struck down.

That's people with common sense though - that's in short supply in MD.

I think you used the term "Common Sense" wrong in there, or atleast the Left's definition of common sense.

Quick reminder for anyone else who, like me, forgot what's next. Oral arguments are scheduled for 3 weeks from today, on May 11th.

 

[W2D]

Wait no longer. Here is the State's brief

Reading this makes my head hurt trying to follow their argument. What a contrast to Caetano.

 

[eruby]

As always, fantastic briefs on our side and "guns are bad, mmmmkay" on their side.

I give my word I will pay for someone's Maryland permit if I am able to get a Maryland permit with self defense as G & S. If I can get one 'just because I want one', one of you will get their permit gratis.

It's reduced to a single sentence: "If we can make these guns sound really scary, we can get us all reelected"

I'll raise you one permit if I can get one because I am not a prohibited person, but don't own a business.

I still want to know where to get a "fire gun" as stated by an esteemed member of the MGA during the confirmation vote. LOL
