GOAL brief filed for Worman v. Healey.
This is a good read, enjoy.
Too many pages of legal mombo jumbo... Give me the reader's digest version in a paragraph or less.
Reader's Digest version, roughly -Too many pages of legal mombo jumbo... Give me the reader's digest version in a paragraph or less.
Excellent recap and translation from legal jargon to lay person speak. Thank you kindly.Reader's Digest version, roughly -
Heller said the 2nd applies to firearms in "common use." McDonald and Caetano apply it to the states and all "bearable arms." Previously, MA has refused to respect this with respect to Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) because Kolbe v. Hagan says the 2nd doesn't apply to "weapons that are most useful in military service." [Editorial sigh.] The Plaintiffs (Good Guys) are challenging the MA Assault Weapon and Magazine Bans (AWB), and the 7/20/2016 Notice of Enforcement (the Letter) for the reasons that follow:
- The Letter, combined with the AWB, effectively ban almost all semi-autos
- But wait! MSRs and standard cap magazines, are in "common use" in the US
- They are so common precisely because they have lots of legitimate (i.e. lawful) uses
- In many cases, the banned firearms, particularly MSRs, are easier to use safely and reliably than handguns and shotguns
- MSRs are definitionally not "military" because they don't have full-auto functionality
The Heller, McDonald, and Caetano decisions of SCOTUS combine to form a legal precedent which completely eliminates any question that laws like the MA AWB are unconstitutional under any standard of scrutiny, and so the MA AWB should be struck down.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Maura's little shitshow was the spark that burned all this crap down.
And if it applied to all 13 states with bans/restrictions.Wouldn't it be ironic if Maura's little shitshow was the spark that burned all this crap down.
And a truckload of magpulls ,and 15 round beretta 92 mags.I know I said this earlier, but IF we win. The first NES group-buy should be the biggest lower group buy of all time. I'll take 4

She was supposed to be in Washington by now.
In a lot of ways we're the 'last man standing' on several of these issues....Even nicer that they provided a Amici Curaie to the case on behalf of our side to the 1st Circuit.
So MA's horseshit is now getting national attention and assistance from Pro2A legal eagles like David B. Kopel, CATO, SAF, and others.
