Sure. For CT, NY and . . . . PA??? (I've forgotten). 2nd District. Not direct for mASS.
Besides, as if mASS would listen. Hell, NY won't listen if CT loses and the district ruling stands. "Sorry. Not for us. We've decided that up is down and left is right and lobster and shit sandwiches are interchangeable."
mASS will likely be right behind that as well. Frustratingly. We're gonna have to have either a SC ruling or a 1st district win. I'm still a patient man.
Hey - in about 51 weeks, there's gonna be an upcoming gun rights policy conference.
PA is in the 3rd circuit along with DE and NJ. 2nd circuit is NY, CT and VT. There are AWB cases in a number of circuits. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 9th all have active AWB cases. Several also have mag limit cases too.
The cases to watch for the quickest decisions on AWBs is the 4th circuit and the southern district court of California (roger benetiz)
The 4th circuit case was remanded back to it from SCOTUS after the NYSRPA decision and the panel hearing it is a Clinton judge, Obama and trump. The Clinton appointee was the dissent in the Kolbe vs hogan decision in 2017 upholding the Maryland AWB. So you’d assume he’d be a vote to strike down the AWB and the trump judge would be the 2nd. Would the entire 4th circuit take the case en banc as they did in Kolbe? The 4th was stacked with artist liberals by Obama and is as liberal or more than any circuit in the country.
In the southern district of California federal court, Miller vs bonta is the AWB case where bush appointee Benetiz struck down the AWB. The 9th circuit remanded it to rehear post NYSRA vs bruen. Benetiz has ordered a quick schedule of briefs and it’s likely he’ll rule before January. He struck it down pre NYSRPA, he’s definitely striking it down post. The 9th is a 16-13 dem majority court. A 3 judge panel struck down mag limits a few years ago 2-1 but the enbanc reversed that, then SCOTUS GVRd it and that mag limit case is back with benetiz again too. The en banc is 10 random judges and the chief judge (a liberal Obama judge) because the 9th is so large.
Benetiz will strike down the mag limits and AWB then the 9th 3 judge panel gets it then a possible en banc. We’re a year to 18 months at least for clarity in the 9th. Hopefully we’ll see some clarity in the 4th by next June
The first AWB was in CA in the early 1990s, the first mag limit was NJ in 1988. There is no way those types of laws can stand after NYSRPA with the text history standard of review
