    They specifically put in severence
    The severance clause is not binding on a Federal court. We'll have to see what the prayer for relief is in MSI's upcoming suit. Maybe they'll request MD's entire permitting and sensitive places scheme be thrown out. Or maybe not. We'll know when the briefs are filed.

    Question for the JDs out in MDS-Land: If a new law that violates established civil rights (i.e. something specifically included in Heller and Bruen) can be demonstrated to have been crafted in bad faith, can a court simply mandate the entire change in law as invalid without having to address every individual issue in it?

    Courts can do as they please.

    My understanding is Courts can only answer questions presented to them. If the complaint only addresses ( for instance) restricting carry in an establishment that is licensed to serve alcohol on premises, that is the question that gets answered. If a complaintant sues on (for instance) 5 or 6 separate provisions, the court can decide on one, several or all provisions offered. The challenge in suing for repeal of several provisions is it makes for complicated briefings since the complainant has the burden of proof, on each count at least initially.

    Moore “demosense” nonsense about this afternoon’s signing:


    Definitely doesn’t show confidence in his backing of it when on camera, calls out schools which are already prohibited and nursing homes only. Gives him wiggle room to distance when the thing is struck down.

    He will sign it



    "People have a right to feel safe in their own communities" by being left unarmed and at the mercy of any criminal attack.

    This is the total democrat mindset. You poor little people can't protect yourself. You'll just do something harmful to yourself or others. WE need to protect you, and if we can't I guess you'll just have to be collateral damage...

    I came here to post that video.
    He certainly doesn’t sound confident in the legality of the bill. It’s not what he said, it’s how he said it.

    Dude looks like he's sweating already. Zero confidence in what he's about to do.
