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

[DC-W]

New briefing schedule out.

 

[trickg]

Of course the defendant filed for a time extension. I'm fully of the belief that Frosh intends to kick this can down the road until he's out of office and it's no longer his problem.

Mark deals with alot-much-many of kicking can down the road.

Quoted
State law claims and thus should be adjudicated without delay. See Mata v. Lynch, 576 U.S. 143, 150 (2015) (“And when a federal court has jurisdiction, it also has a ‘virtually unflagging obligation ... to exercise’ that authority.”) (citation omitted). But even assuming arguendo that a State law question is pertinent, the Supreme Court has made clear that the proper approach is to certify controlling questions of State law to the State’s highest court. Arizonans for Official English v. Arizona, 520 U.S. 43, 75-76 (1997). See also McKesson v. Doe, 141 S.Ct. 48 (2020) (per curiam) (vacating and remanding with instructions to certify a controlling but novel State law question to the State’s highest court). Maryland has precisely such a certification provision. MD Code, Courts & Judicial Proceedings, § 12-603.

Press from the Daily Record with a quote from Frosh.

 

[Boondock Saint]

“There is, of course, lots of history of states and the United States regulating who can own and carry weapons,” Frosh said. “What Maryland has done is impose reasonable regulations on who can own a handgun.” -Frosh

He's right to some extent. He just fails to mention that those regulations were aimed at functionally anyone who wasn't a white Protestant man.

My schadenfreude is rock hard over these grabbers cloaking themselves in the text, history and tradition of racist, bigoted laws. Own it.

He has to say they are "reasonable" because this is his baby - he pushed for FSA2013/SB281 and now it's falling apart, and quickly. HA HA HA

What a legacy to leave behind when he retires: most unconstitutional laws championed by an AG who said they are constitutional. And now he's saying segregation/racist roots of gun laws are ok because free blacks were disarmed after the Civil War. Keep digging that hole Brian (I'm not calling him Frosh anymore because calling him by his first name shows less respect - that and I'm trying to keep my cussing down on MDS).

He will retire defending qualified immunity and using historical racism and xenophobia to defend gun laws and the police who enforce them.

Really a wild note for a self-described progressive champion to finish out on.

Funny how few Press Releases from Brian filing Amicus Briefs on states fighting Bruen we have seen.

Maybe he realizes it’s over.

Off to the ash heap of history you go Brian

Press from the Daily Record with a quote from Frosh.

Here's the issue.
" U.S. District Judge Ellen L. Hollander upheld the license requirement’s constitutionality last August, saying it was reasonably related to the state’s important interest in protecting public safety. "

This is the same line AG uses ALOT and seem judge do not require proof of state's interest in public safety.


Sure jcutonilli had a brief on same subject. I'm searching.

SCOTUS has thrown out the 2 step. H,T and T are the new benchmarks

The public safety magic wand the state waves and has waved all these years is no longer meaningful under Bruen’s demanded analysis.

I’ve not been in Annapolis much in the last few years. Do you give oral testimony to these points?

Of course I do.

I like making those who make more criminal laws squirm, especially after 2021 being a year of reforms to reign in the dangerousness of police. Apparently, they’re now safe enough to sic on the masses because guns are that bad.

Some do understand which populations are most likely to have these sorts of laws enforced against them. However, they’re still beholden to their constituents who are mostly ok with state-backed violence of mostly poor people of color so long it’s in the name of gun safety.

The best hook will be watching MDA try to have qualified immunity curtailed in Maryland. By all means, have at it. Curious how that will play, now that carriage of handguns outside the home for personal protection is a clearly established right.
