Apparently one of the WA AWB cases had their PI denied. It seems that none of the plaintiffs in these post Bruen cases want to address why certain historical arms were banned and they wind up losing because of it. Luckily it is only a PI and not on the merits.
To those that still think these cases are easy to win, here is another judge denying a PI in the DE AWB and LCM case.
