[NorCalRT]

On the one hand I want him to lay the smack down ASAP, on the other hand my LMT Mars lower finally shipped and I want that in hand before he does

Am I correct that the current status of this case is that Judge Benitez has assigned "Cross-Designations are due no later than 2/23/2021" (tomorrow), after which point he could theoretically issue a ruling at any time?

Unfortunately the first post of the thread isn't maintained to reflect the current status of the case, so anyone hoping to use this thread to find the current status has to find it in between discussions & speculation.

I recommend you sub to Armed Scholar on YouTube for updates. He covered this for us.

Full case history (with updates subject to some delay, I'm sure) can be found here: https://www.firearmspolicy.org/miller or here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket...&order_by=desc

I'm honestly not sure, though, what the next step is or when it'll happen.

I'm not sure why youall are worried about having a RAW confiscated. Aren't there like 50 more sitting in waterproof containers at the bottom of your farm pond since your boating accident?? At least that is how they do things in Texas.

I just wish his channel was a little less click-baity...

I agree. I think he’s cool as a person, but his content and level of knowledge are being potentially overlooked when every picture looks like the backdrop is Hell or Biden is looking over us like Palpatine on Star Wars covers. It makes sense tho since the FPC always sends over the top emails 3x a day too.

I would rather get the quick and dirty info from Reno until then.

I agree that AS should be less click bait and also more detailed. But while I like Reno, he tends to get too excited and report the wrong information from time to time. He has improved over the years but he is still a bit too sensationalized.

Agreed. I also do not like how he skips or choose not to disclose everything. An example is when he says "Hollywood" gets exemptions. Those exemptions are available to other businesses who also obtain the appropriate FFL and SOT.

Another is he does not mention the 03FFL and COE exemption when discussing ammo. He just says we cannot get ammo to our doors.

Bless him for fighting the good fight...

But the guy needs a new, non-autistic catchphrase.
I kinda want to crawl under a rock when he gets to that last part.

That, and he's basically a horse-race announcer frantically calling the process of grass growing. He chose the wrong topic if he wanted to make weekly vids.

[Go Packers!]

I appreciate his contribution to the community. I look forward to his explanation on all the updates.

He recently got picked up by and works for FPC.

yeah it's cringe, his old motto used to be more clever/profound but it was a bit verbose

"a nation that draws great distinction between its scholars and warriors will have its laws drafted by fools and its wars fought by cowards"

i think it's a call back to classical greek or roman antiquity when scholars and statesmen were also usually veterans
