2AMaryland just said the NRA is suing over SB1

[Bertfish]

Jumping in front of MSI to take the credit when the court strikes it down. Wish we heard more from NRA during the session.

Wish we heard from them for the last however many years

 

[Bertfish]

I value and trust MSI exponentially more then the NRA, can MSI still file suit now that NRA jumped in to take credit?

Sure. NJ is facing many lawsuits at once

 

[babalou]

The way the NRA treats Maryland and other Marxist states that aren't easy wins reminds me of the US military abandoning troops and civilians in late '41: "Sucks to be you. Yo may want to try and avoid the Nips."

this right here.

There is chum in the water now. They view this as easy given Bruen I'd bet, nothing but time and money for victory.

They've let us languish for years here. Opportunistic whores is all they seem to be

I quit sending money to the NRA over a year ago. MSI, SAF, and GOA are the only gun rights organizations that will see any of my money.

 

[dblas]

Anyone have a link to the complaint?

 

[TheOriginalMexicanBob]

Other groups such as GOA, SAF and maybe others may be sitting back to review the NRA and MSI suits…they may feel all they need to do is file an amicus brief rather than an additional lawsuit.

Give them time to decide what each’s best course of action is.

I'd feel better if the NRA, MSI, SAF, and GOA fought together.

Does anyone know if the lead attorney in this case, John Parker Sweeney, has ever won a 2nd amendment civil rights case?

 

[scottyfz6]

I am an NRA member solely because of my instructor certs, and I kind of hate to even admit that.

Many years ago I met a board member of the nra, I told him I was a previous member. He asked why previous not current, and I stated because the nra has done nothing in maryland where I live. His response was well maryland is a lost cause and they have better places to spend their money. to which I responded thats exactly why I was a previous member not a current one.

 

[JohnnyE]

Yep. I’m a lifetime NRA member, but I have much, much more faith in MSI. MSI has fought, tirelessly for us for years while the NRA has sat with a thumb up their @$$.

This right here. The last money the NRA got from our family was life memberships in 1985. Since then, every dollar I've given has gone to @esqappellate and MSI. When Amazon Smile existed, the contributions went to GOA. NRA is useless and only opportunistic.

Cross posted on the SB1 thread -

FPC, MSI, and 2AF have partnered to sue Maryland over SB1

 

[Art3]

I'm probably almost as pissed at the NRA as all of us. However, it is my understanding that they have helped (and continue to help) with a lot behind the scenes that most folks don't hear about.

I suspect there are a lot of lawsuits just firing up with some heavy collaboration going on.

Obviously I'm team MSI all the way, but there's nothing wrong with having allies.

 

[coinboy]

I'm surprised MSI didn't file suit today!!!

They did.

 

[clandestine]

The NRA has many flaws but to pretend they do nothing across the country is absolutely pants on head stupid.

NYSRPA is an NRA State Association.

ANJRPC is an NRA State Association.

 

[thomfantomas]

They did.

i was in suspense,just was unsure they would file suit the same day that POS signed it.

Was going to jump in about FPC. I saw their announcement about filing. They have had a decent amount of success and seem to be doing well fighting infringement cases.

They did.

Way to go! Get familiar with Novotny v. Moore.
Here are a couple links.

Where is 2A Foundation? Anyone that organizes to fight this type of crap is good.

The SAF filed suit as well in federal court.

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of SB1

They need a story so they can ask for more money other than their constant eMails trying to sell me cheap crap I don't need or want. "Look how we're protecting your rights!" We all know it's BS as they were completely absent the last election cycle and MSI has had to carry the weight of all the local lawsuits. Wayne must need some new threads. If I didn't need them to maintain my instructor creds or already being a life member it's a club I wouldn't join. What a joke they've become.
