Four Boxes. Every other day it's fear porn videos with clickbait titles. I can read the news.
TL;DW - There’s almost 0 chance SCOTUS agrees to hear the case this term. There are now 3 possible outcomes that could happen on Monday:
1. SCOTUS just outright denies certiorari
2. SCOTUS denies certiorari and we get a statement/dissent from one or more of the justices regarding the denial
3. SCOTUS grants certiorari and schedules oral arguments for the next SCOTUS term. Meaning the case would be decided by end of June 2026 at the latest.

I really don't think the court wants to take a case of this magnitude. They are hardliners in States rights. The only reason they would even consider it is because the 4th completely thumbed their nose at the them. Just my thoughts on the matter.
He has some insight that’s good if you stick with specific topics, but I’d rather be shot than watch every video he posts. He is night and day better than that armed scholar nitwit. In fact that dudes titles are the gold standard of click bait.
Guns and gadgets is a waste of time, nothing of substance to offer that you have not already seen elsewhere.

Maybe it is time to write the justices just like we would a politician.
That’s my concern. This is just not one little detail. The case is so solid for an AWB overturn outcome that will impact state and federal laws. Moreover how do they set up a delimiter to not invalidate NFA stuff.
I believe they, at minimum, wanted to punt it to next term.
They don't like controversy or being the center of attention. They don't want protests outside their homes. Plus they already did a lot of that just recently by overturning Roe vs. Wade.
Boo hoo. If you didn't want to make tough decisions, you should have turned down the job.

So I take it they will never give us relief?
Just a thought. Use previous rulings to validate individual items. For example..
Suppressors are neither uncommon nor dangerous and alternatively machine guns are uncommon and dangerous.
Not saying I'm completely happy with it, but I think it jives with the spirit of the way they are thinking.
Sadly, machine guns are uncommon because of the NFA.
There was a time when an M16 was $236. The tax stamp doubled that price making people opt for the non FA version.
Then the 1986 ban.
IMHO FA would be common if not for those barriers put up by the gov.

I don't think they're going to deny cert. on these 2 cases because why do it 2 or 3 weeks after denying cert. in the 2 other 2A cases? They would've just denied cert. in all of them at the same time. I have no idea why they wouldn't take these 2 cases this term, especially the Snopes case knowing it's history with this court but I guarantee it's 100% Robert's who's behind the delays

Thanks to these weak-ass justices, now Rhode Island is going to do the same thing with passing an AWB like they did with their 2022 Magazine ban, make it the most intrusive and unconstitutional of any state out there

I haven’t given up hope. I think they put it out to next session…and maybe the court changes by one justice by that time. If they planned to deny I’m guessing they would have by now.

Yea I think they kinda painted themselves into a corner with this. My hope is that they know this would be a monumental decision and they want to make sure every I is dotted and T is crossed. Or for the Sun and moon and tides to be in proper alignment. Whatever their reasoning I don't care, like everyone else I want them to take the case and slam these commie states in the d&ck. I just don't think they want to delve into "states rights". I REALLY want to be wrong.

What's disappointing is for "constitutional justices", they should be far more concerned with the American individual's rights over State rights. To a constitutional judge the Bill of Rights should reign supreme over any State rights and when States violate the Bill of Rights these justices should strike immediately
At the rate it took for the Sullivan Act to be overturned then AWB should be struck down sometime in the mid 22nd Century.
SCOTUS has no issue keeping lawyers busy, in fact I wouldn't doubt it if there's backroom deals going on as the lawyers keep making money off the 2A cases and we keep paying for it because we have no choice. There's also the corporations who are probably donating mass sums to the alma maters of the justices, so those corporate cases come first.
Maybe I'm being cynical, but the judiciary is part of government and often is the most corrupt.
Why would they grant cert and now deny it? I'd have to say it's because when they granted it before they had every intention of vacating and remanding it after ruling on Bruen as a delay tactic. Since they don't have any other cases ripe for review that are 2A related they can't do a repeat and GVR it again and make it appear that they are being impartial.
I think the reality of the situation is the Supreme Court does not want to touch AWB and magazine restrictions, they want to keep the status quo which is they neither grant nor deny cert and thus have to make a ruling. If I'm wrong and they do grant cert for next term, I'd have to believe there's another 2A case in the pipeline that might get reviewed that allows them to do another GVR.
Other than that, it's possible maybe Thomas is planning to retire next year and he wants to write the majority for Snope as his last majority writing before he retires. If it's not that and there isn't another case in the pipeline to do a GVR and they do review it next term, then it's because the court is trying to sabotage the Republicans in the mid terms like they did in 2022 with Dobbs.
My confidence in this court has been low ever since they refused to touch election cases in 2020, it's been worsening thanks to the Octomom in Barrett, but this lack of cert on Snope has incinerated the last shred of confidence I had.
Fukk this court and all the shithead Catholics on it. They can take their Communion, hike up their robes, and shove it up their ass.
