A couple of things have happened in the past day or so on the judicial front involving litigation we are very keen to watch (and you should be as well if you like your AR-15s and other modern defensive rifles).
First, the US Supreme Court was slated to discuss the Snope gun ban case out of Maryland this week (tomorrow, in fact) but they’ve pushed that back to next month. Why? Mark Smith over at Four Boxes Diner suggests that it’s because they’re considering taking it along with a Rhode Island magazine case and a third case involving the parameters of when a court (a district court) can strike down a gun control law.
It’s not that the Supremes want to “fix” errors from the lower courts, it’s more that they want to hand down precedent in how to handle cases in general for decades or even generations to come.
Of course, we would say “What about these courts like the Seventh Circuit and judges like Easterbrook and Wood who ignore precedent?”
Sorry, I don’t have a real good answer for that.
Here’s Mark’s video… yes I know it has a clickbaiting title, but as you can tell, I’m not putting but a handful of his videos in front of you – specifically the ones that really matter:
Next up… God bless Greg Bishop for keeping up with all these cases and filings. Within the last few hours, Judge Stephen McGlynn filed an amended decision from our gun and magazine ban case that fulfilled the wishes of the Seventh Circuit, removing a potential excuse for the 3-judge panel we now have using that as an excuse to delay deliberations in the case.
Here’s Greg with the details.
That’s it for now. GunNews layout for this new issue is occupying 90% of our spare time at the moment.
