Peņa v. Cid (Handgun Roster) **CERT DENIED 6-15-2020**

[wireless]

I'll be pretty thrilled just to hear that they are taking up this case.

Second best thrill will be when they don't deliver a totally anti-2nd Amendment decision.

Seems like a long, long time since SCOTUS has heard a Firearms case.


Yes, my standards are very low. I'm a long term survivor of Firearms Owners Legislative Abuse Syndrome.

Cert petition was filed only. They haven't decided on the case.

[FABIO GETS GOOSED!!!]

As of this writing, only 828 total handgun models remain, including 531 semiautomatics.

What?! Please tell me the Colt "Chuck Norris Tribute" 1911 is still on the roster?

Aside from the sarcasm ("No Virginia, there are no Colts in California") you raise an interesting question: if you discount all of the firearms that are simply different looking models of the same pistol, how many are there really left? (No, I will not volunteer to count the duplicates.)

[SWalt]

Time will tell. Leave no rock unturned.

Will the bad news be that CG members will once again be bombarded with massive unreadable wall of text duels, that go on for page after page?

Fingers crossed this gets granted. I think it has a good chance

These next 2 years will be interesting re. SCOTUS, both composition of (looking at RBG hiding in the corner...), and 2nd A cases granted/denied.

I'd say...sarcastically of course, that pesticides are not mentioned in the Bill of Rights, firearms are.

Its between this and the NRA's NY transport case. The Court is only taking one but it is very likely doing to take one.

Respectfully, that's an awful lot of certainty about a process that regularly surprises the best and most in-tune lawyers.

or Rogers or the Knife Rights' case....

Do the 4 conservatives trust Roberts enough to vote for cert?

[Offwidth]

No.

They might not take either but I think it is a safe bet they are not taking both. The panels decision here competes with the NYC transport case for its misuse of intermediate scrutiny and either would be a good vehicle to correct the lower courts misuse of the doctrine.

Now that is the real question! I have my doubts.

I was not particularly impressed with the petition in Pena. IMHO it should have relied on Caetano for the proposition that it is already settled law that the 2A protects the weapons effectively banned by CA because it protects all bearable arms, unless they are not commonly possessed for lawful purposes. Maybe someone will bring forth this argument in an Amicus brief.
