Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

What's the chance the Scotians can force the 4th to decide expeditiously, like within a year or less?

 

[Some Guy]

It’s favored by the constitution so ultimately they will fail

Hope so.

What is your chance of becoming Governor in Maryland?

Well, the current one demonstrates the electorate's standards aren't very high, so....

You would probably be deemed overqualified.

Well, it is award season.

And the Notradamus award for reading the tea leaves at the 4CA goes too....

MARK W SMITH!!!!!

Didn't lawyers and other "experts" here claim Mark Smith was wrong when he predicted this would go enbanc?

I'm pretty sure I remember that.

This fast tracks the inevitable, which is a loss for MD gun owners. SCOTUS will have to decide because the panel will NOT side with the 2A.

I would expect a really quick turn around at the SCOTUS.

The supremes would tell the 4CA en banc they got it wrong without oral argument because this would be the second time before the big court.

All this is doing is forcing me to purchase an AR in 7.62x39 and an AK in 5.56 . Suck on that 4C and other POS gun grabbers.

Not only was he correct, he predicted correctly that it would be decided without an opinion being issued by the three judge panel.

Spot on for both counts

 

[Jim12]

He seems to be spot on. Again.

Bruen didn't, but Heller already did with the "In Common Use" test. And in Bruen, it was made clear than Heller was still good law and affirmed, not overturned.

Kolbe was the 4ca opinion of what Heller supposedly said. While it was clear that Bruen overruled the intermediate scrutiny analysis, it was unclear how Bruen affected the applicability of “assault weapons” in Kolbe since Bruen did not address that issue

 

[jcutonilli]

JHC... The HQL en banc was scheduled for March at least. When is the "next available argument session"?

It is tentatively scheduled for the March session

The Kolbe en banc took ~10 months to decide from oral argument

I would have been surprised if Bruen had addressed it, because it wasn't one of the controversies brought for them to decide in that carry-centric case. SCOTUS just needs the appropriate vehicle to decide the "What hardware does the 2A actually cover?" issue.

Looks like the verbose YouTuber was correct.

Umm maybe. By his theory the en banc panel took it because the 3 judge panel was 2-1 pro 2A. How does that jive with a "pro 2A" panel, if he's correct and that is what it was, sitting on it for over a year and a half without making a decision?
