Maryland AWB case Snope v Brown going to SCOTUS. (Formerly Bianchi v Brown & Bianchi v Frosh)

When granted it will be for next term, in the courts view what is the rush…. As long as they make a decision before the end of the term. Everyone will still have plenty of time to submit briefs and prepare their cases
 
Damn. Were all of those denied just on Friday???? I can see why they haven't gotten to Snopes or OST. Lots of crap on their docket for sure. My personal belief is that they are holding til the last minute to see if courts turn the corner on their own or if they have to reiterate.
Or they are just waiting for the next school shooting so they use that as an excuse to avoid this forever
 
At least one of the denials was of interest to this forum. In USA v. Narey Perez-Quibus, the petitioner attempted to challenge the constitutionality of 18 U.S. Code § 922 post-Bruen and was summarily bounced by 11th circuit and the Supreme Court.
Interesting that the 11th cited heller, Bruen, and rahimi as declaring 922 presumptively lawful on its face. Im assuming by denying cert, scotus agrees? I didn't read the entire opinion so I'm unfamiliar with the defendants exact circumstances, but wondering if they challenged 'as applied' they would've had a chance

Reading through the case details (for example here), not particularly surprised SCOTUS denied cert for that case.
 
The link you give is to an evidentiary hearing.
Yes and the defendant's history (claimed sexual assault, battery, threatening with gun/knife, and other crimes alleged by the girlfriend and other things) outlined in that evidentiary hearing make for a rather unsympathetic (possibly violent) defendant and might give cause for a easy rejecting of the cert application that was based on trying to challenge 922. And yes, strangely not seeing what the prior felony conviction was.

If prior felony was considered violent then Rahimi covers it.
 
WHAT?? (Political capital???? Against liberals?)
Every election results in a gain in political capital for one side or the other. It's a fixed universe of points. So right now it's the GOP's turn. They can focus in on making the tough choices on government spending or blowing it all on culture war bullsh*t that will amount to nothing except to embolden the other side, which is what appears to be happening.
 
I just looked it up. Looks like something is happening March 25.
That appears to be the docket for the Supreme Court action sending it back after Rahimi. The dates shown are in 2024. The 2nd Circuit issued a new opinion which struck down the social media and private place restrictions but kept in place the rest. That's now up for cert for a second round, but it hasn't been scheduled for conference yet.

 
Never once have I thought they would be denied…..admittedly it is taking longer than I expected. I’m sure there is good reasons we are no privy to at this time
I don't completely share your certainty. By nature, I am a pessimist. But I too hope/believe there must be a reason, and a justifiably good one!

From their standpoint, there's no real rush. And there are several relevant cases in the pipeline; having waited this long, they might be wondering what's going to happen with some of those.

It's a pain in the ass for us, though I don't really expect the justices to care much about that.

Pessimists don't think the world is ending, they just don't like being disappointed. Same camp, different day as you. But I'm hopeful that these 2 cases throw a few more nails in the coffin of 2A restrictions. I'm ready to buy a nice PCC or something for home defense with all srots of extra-scary features.
