[safewaysecurity]

H.R. 58/S. 1691, introduced by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Rep. Dan Boren (D-OK) in the House and by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) in the Senate, would remove several antiquated and unnecessary restrictions imposed on interstate firearms business since 1968

And they just can't wait to see if Gura will win Lane v. Holder can they...

If Obama signs such a law then Lane gets mooted. If a later legislature and president decide to reinstate the restrictions we get saddled with that bad law.

If they wait until Gura wins we will never have to worry about interstate restrictions.

Also, all the money and time Gura spent litigating will be lost if this passes but if they wait until it is decided then Gura will get paid.

Gura getting paid is a good thing.

Isn't it in the appellate process to determine standing? The case itself isn't even at issue yet right?

Because the case was at a Preliminary Injunction hearing, it's basically denovo so all the issues are on the table. Either way, that court system is a rocket docket.

Perhaps it's a squeeze play like w/ Illinois carry?
