Sorry if dupe.

The worst part is the judge claimed to not want to rule in favor of the state, but did so anyway by implying that “longstanding” precedent at the federal circuit court level makes it impossible for him to rule otherwise.

It was, at best, a p*ssy copout. My guess is that in reality, this judge just doesn’t really agree with liberty-loving Americans. He’s just pretending to.

The district courts are bound by the appeals court and SCOTUS above them. If the appeals court in that circuit has already ruled on an issue, the district court must follow it. It’s not a cop out

Not when the law is entirely, on-it’s-face unconstitutional, as this law clearly is. If as an 18 year old adult you have the right to vote, to get married, to enter into legal contracts and to do all other things that are constitutionally protected, you have to right to legally purchase a gun. Period. End of debate. You’re either an adult, or you aren’t. Period.

I agree the law is unconstitutional. Either way the 11th circuit court of appeals was getting the case on appeal by either side so this just speeds the process along. 6 of the 12 judges on the appeals court are trump judges, 1 bush and 5 Obama/ Clinton. It’s likely the 3 judge panel will be 2A favorable
 
Just think of it this way, If the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rules that this law is faulty, and declares it null and void, it applies to the entire area covered by the 11th Circuit.
 
Decision here:

The only precedent I see the judge grumbling about is the two part test. He goes through the usual Heller dance after that and interprets the record to stuff the restrictions under the “longstanding” dicta hole.

What’s worth remembering is that since this is a ruling on the law, it’s effectively meaningless. Had the NRA won, the state would have appealed and the decision stayed pending appeal. Instead the NRA will appeal. Either way, the 11th circuit hears the case de novo and can ignore this “logic.”

That's probably the reason the MA SJC feels it can ignore Heller. Sure you have a right to possess a handgun in your home, but you do not have any right to the only license that will allow you to do so legally.

Courts feeling they only have to follow higher courts when the feel like it is a big part of why we are in the current mess.
