Miller v. Bonta 9th Ckt "assault weapons": Held for Duncan result 1-26-24

[AbrahamBurden]

What are the chances that this decision has any impact on pending implementation of new assault weapon laws, namely the 'Title 1' stuff with a looming registration window?

Virtually none. Hate to drop blackpills but they didn't care about legal rulings before and they have little to care about them now and keep pushing.

[JCHavasu]

Any 4 of the following: Barrett, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, or Kavanaugh.

Four is great, and what is needed to accept cert. We need five for a good opinion though. This is arguably why the USSC did not take any 2ndA cases before Barrett being appointed. They could count on four for cert but could not count on a 5th.

You can count on those 5 more than any other 5 on the past, or in the foreseeable future. Roberts was the problem but now he’s irrelevant.

[JCHavasu]

Agreed. We needed Roberts to be irrelevant. I just posted that so some that are not as USSC savvy understand the importance between 4 accepting certiorari and the more important 5 vote.

You must be fun at parties.

Just being realistic. Look at how things have progressed. I'd love to be wrong but I just don't have the energy to pretend it's going to be some big win for our 2a rights.

Well put. I wouldn't run out and burn your bullet buttons and grip fins just yet.

I'm sure the AG has some partisan hacktivist judge in their back pocket already drafting the stay order

I believe Benitez issued the stay himself

I believe Benitez issued the stay himself

For 30 days until they get one from the appeals court or it expires.

Scotus won't take the case, ...

SCOTUS has already taken a gun case recently, so doom and gloom is an illogical position at this time.
