Someone, somewhere has to have some dirt on that bastard.

This next MGA session is gonna be one for the books. I'm afraid my friends, this is just going to be the beginning to a very upsetting upcoming year.

 

[whistlersmother]

More laws coming ,, they got their inch now comes the mile? Frosh would be dumb not to try.
I'm now waiting for the "We need more money to fight" emails. Where's that gerrymandering thread, any chance with this at all?

Toss this thread like rusty steel casings and I fear an MDS Real Estate section may be beneficial? Rant done.

yep.

nothing stops confiscation. SCOTUS will not take such a case. Only a matter of time before Australia-style gun control comes to Maryland. There is no way to stop it.

This is disappointing, but not surprising. At least it's not a ruling against the case.

 

[swinokur]

yep

 

[Glock 'n Roll]

And yet the homicide rate in Baltimore continues to rise...where is your chest thumping now Mr. Frosh?

 

[frogman68]

We can thank MSI and others who were against the referendum . The courts will be on our side they said. We didn't fight this to win we did this for some egos and the only egos that got boosted today are right now writing more infringements .

Frosh and his ilk will use the Baltimore blood bath as "evidence" that still more oppressive gun laws are needed and FSA 2013 was simply a "good first step."

Confiscation is the ultimate goal.

If your only alternative is a referendum, you have no other alternative.

Agree sir.

Respectfully, I disagree. The voters in Maryland would not have voted to overturn the law. The gun owning community in this state is just too small, and the makeup of the voters leans too far to the liberal/progressive/anti-gun side of the spectrum.

Get outside of the gun-owning community, even just a little, and it becomes totally obvious that we would have been crushed. All you have to do is remember that will be the same folks who voted for the gerrymandered district map. As a state, we are toast.

Sutherland Springs
Las Vegas
Orlando
San Bernardino
Aurora
Sandy Hook
Etc...

The issue with AR platform weapons and detachable magazines is just too hot for SCOTUS to take on with the current composition of justices. Notice there was no dissent from either of the 2A homeboys Thomas or Gorsuch.

So it's official now. The Second Amendment is a second class right at this moment.

I can hear Frosh now saying, "Let the bannings and confications begin!"

 

[ELEMENT94]

So what happens if the court does change composition? Can they dredge this case up and decide to hear it, or does the process start all over again with a new case?

 

[ironpony]

Will there be pre-confiscation buy-back programs soon enough to get gift cards for Christmas shopping?

 

[Mike OTDP]

I'm a bit disappointed...but not surprised. As others have pointed out, neither side wants SCOTUS to take a 2A case when it's a flip of a coin how Kennedy will rule. Better to wait until things are certain.

I'll add that I've always thought the smarter route to be Federal legislation, not litigation. Though with the GOP Congressional majority needing a good caning, that's not too appealing these days.

 

[kcbrown]

I don't believe there is enough data to say that it is a purely political institution. There are certainly cases that do appear to be political, but most of them are not. This case has been litigated at least 4 times (DC, NY, CT, Highland Park) with the same conclusion. I am not sure why you think this case was appreciable different.

It differs appreciably in the reasoning it used to uphold the law.

How does this case appreciably differ from Caetano, save for that?

When I was on the board I never said this and if anyone did, they shouldn't have.

I opposed the referendum because we don't put rights to a plebiscite and we were destined to lose anyway.

You're out numbered in Maryland. Until that changes, it's perpetually downhill. If you couldn't beat the handgun roster with a vote you sure as hell weren't going to beat a rifle ban with 25 years of lurching to the left since then.

 

[Rack&Roll]

“We don’t put rights to a plebiscite”

Exactly.

 

[mxrider]

When I was on the board I never said this and if anyone did, they shouldn't have.

And I never heard anything like this in the years that I was there.

plebiscite

Learned a new word today. Thank you!
