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

"The new law considers a gun an "assault-style firearm" if it is a semiautomatic shotgun, or any semiautomatic centerfire rifle or semiautomatic pistol with the ability to accept a detachable feeding device that features at least two of the following features: "a folding or telescopic stock, a thumbhole stock or pistol grip, a forward grip or second handgrip or protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand, a threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor or muzzle break or similar feature, or a shroud that encircles either all or part of the barrel designed to shield the bearer’s hand from heat, excluding a slide that encloses the barrel."


"That provision has attracted the attention of gun owners, some of whom said the features included as part of the "assault-style firearm" definition are common and often cosmetic in nature. The Gun Owners Action League, the local arm of the NRA, said in its summary of the law that the new definition "includes most, if not all, semi-automatic rifles and shotguns."


"Democrats who drafted the bill that Healey signed have said it will stand up to any constitutional challenges."

The government actually makes having all of these illegals worse than it would be without their intervention.

1) if it was the good old days, when illegals just snuck in, then they would have motivation to work. No assistance from uncle sugar and the need to keep things on the downlow.

2) Everyone now is claiming asylum. If you claim asylum you
a. Get all kinds of help including housing, cell phones, and cash for food.
b. instructed that even if you DO want to work and be a productive member of society, you CAN'T. And if you violate this, it can put your asylum claim in jeopardy.

So illegals are now getting free government crap, and are discouraged from working even if they want to.

I write this as someone who grew lived on the CT shoreline for decades. If it wasn't for hard working illegals in my area the hotel, restaurant and construction industtries would implode.
The key is to get the ones that want to work in quickly while vetting them to make sure they aren't terrorists. And no benefits, well, maybe medicaid and childcare. So they can work.

I heard last week that illegals at the former Holiday Inn in Taunton have been harassing customers of BJ's to buy them stuff. Because they won't spring for the $50 membership but want stuff.

You ain't working (legally). How you getting money!!!!????? Go back to the hotel and wait for meal service to show up!

I hate what is going on in Haiti, but housing these people here isn't helping. I'm betting a massive US Military response would be cheaper than housing and feeding a million Haitian refugees in the US currently. (Yes, a million, just from Haiti! Declaring asylum!). I've got nothing against these people, but they need to fix their own country. Stop voting or alllowing military dictators. Let's start there!
 
They will reschedule it to the next Confrence in January is my guess.

I’m also guessing they will still grant Cert.

The Supreme Court seems to have a plan in how they will address 2A arms ban cases this 2024-2025 term. Mark Smith Four Boxes Diner discusses.
NOTE: In this video, I mention the case of Rigby v. Jennings, but that is wrong. The case before the Supreme Court now is Gray v. Jennings. I confused the two Delaware cases. My error.

Translation — The Plaintiffs filed their brief, which they were required to do for the petition for cert to proceed. It was always going to happen. It isn’t major, it isn’t breaking, and it’s barely news. So why the hype?

I seriously don't get the love for this guy. He reports on ordinary filings as if they're breaking news.

Tom Grieve has far better analysis. None of it is a BREAKING NEWS HOT TAKE, because analysis takes time.

Part of me says they're just going to kick the can like they usually do with anything substantial like this (and yes, this would be a landmark case because it will be the first time the Court has ruled directly if states have the authority to ban or otherwise restrict certain firearms) but this is likely to be Thomas' final or penultimate year on the Court as he will surely retire before the mid terms in '26 and he would probably write the majority decision same as he did in Bruen.

The Big Six know the Donks want to pack the court no matter what they rule, just the fact it's a 6-3 majority is enough to push the Democrats into a frenzy, so why they won't grant cert over the lack of a circuit split when Bruen and Heller are clear doesn't make sense, but these are people who just want to be the center of attention at the cocktail parties in DC, so maybe they just like getting those invites and feeling special and fukk that whole Constitution thing, right?
 
This court had no problem taking a stupid ass abortion case (Dobbs vs. Mississippi) because Roe vs. Wade was ruled on incorrectly, so they better take a case dealing with violations to the 2A because States and Courts violating Constitutional amendments should be an automatic correction no questions asked. I cannot see any reason why the Supreme Court wouldn't take one of these cases, well, any valid reason why they wouldn't take one

He seems to put out one vid a day whether he needs to or not.

His analysis is good when something happens, but a lot of what he posts is unnecessary.

I assume it’s click bait or what ever the YouTube version of clickbait is.

I follow him and some other gun rights people on X.

If something important in the 2A sphere happens, they will all be posting about it there first.

Smith like others is playing to the YouTube algorithms and trying to get clicks/views. Most of them now have videos are not short or concise (over 10 minutes seems common) and uses clickbait titles and graphics. Many now post even if there is nothing important to comment on. I generally just ignore the titles and listen to (often fast forwarding through) the content for the highlights. He and a few others are not as bad as Armed Scholar who is almost useless for information, but the Smith and others are getting there unfortunately as they chase the algorithm and clicks/views. For what ever reason some here are triggered by such videos being posted. While some others may find them useful or informative. Shrugs. If nothing else it keeps the thread on the first page.
