I just read through the 33 page doc. Awesome work. I particularly love the explicit call out about their responsibility to record and review transfers. Since they accepted them for so long, and that acceptance required a review per their own rules either they didn't review them (and are liable for the massive amount of egg on face!) Or they did review them and are pooched.

It would be more appropriately termed the Massachusetts affiliate of the NRA, but that sort of detail is beyond most reporters.

It is far more important that they take their time and get the lawsuit right than that they rush it, do a bad job, and then lose as a result.
In the few conversations I have had on this it has been brought up each time. Given the National situation, what are the odds the MA court will not want to see this go to SCOTUS. A decision by SCOTUS will be far far more harmful than a local state decision to their cause.
Just a thought.

Sadly, I think that's close to how long it would take. Probably longer.

Yup. My guess is with appeals etc it will be five years before there is anything final one way or the other.
That is about what Heller took depending on where you start the clock. February 2003 to June 2008
Baker’s spokeswoman said the governor “supports the Second Amendment to our Constitution and Massachusetts’ gun laws, including the ban on assault weapons, and the administration generally does not comment on pending lawsuits.”
Does that make it clear to anyone still carrying Charlie's water?
He needs to be crushed in an epic manner in 2018.
And the Republicans need to know who and why.
NO MORE RINOS

It's going to be him or Mora ... it's not like we got too many choices. May be Gary Johnson can run for governor, weed is legal here, unlike NH, come on Gary, come along take a hit from a bong!

I sat on a jury for a case where he presided. Very very sharp mind. Don't know much about his politics.

Check his Wiki, he's had a lot of high profile cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._Young

Conservative judges are less likely to rule against us on the "because its guns" doctrine, but often rule against us on a "because the government has the power" doctrine. So, we can get screwed either way.HIS political views SHOULD have nothing to do with his ruling on facts of the case.

That's putting it nicely.
...so basically it's a coin toss.
Yup, heads we lose, tails we lose, stands on edge we win
A lot can happen between now and May 2018.
Discovery alone in this case will run through November and motions will be due in December - schedule. We also have the NSSF case to deal with. That's a work in progress (there was a motion to dismiss hearing last week) and there's the possibility that Kolbe will seek cert. review at the Supreme Court.
Criminal AWB prosecutions (if they actually happen) based upon the AG's enforcement notice could also disrupt either of these cases. Everything is a moving target.

What a statement!
I remember just walking into a shop and asking for a rifle and magazine and not thinking anything of it..
How Sad it is that we have been so complacent as to let it all get to where we are today!
Well, freedom of speech is next..
I guess hand to hand combat with the radical Islamic terrorist is what the people want..
I guess we will just have to hug them to death!![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
