FPC Challenge to MA Handgun Roster
This popped up in my email about an hour ago. It appears that the FPC is going after Healey and the idiotic MA firearms roster: https://www.firearmspolicy.org/granata Let's see where this goes, but looks like I'll be sending someone else some money.

Yes, they do. Previous challenges to the AWB failed on standing due to them challenging the enforcement notice. Since no one was prosecuted, the court argued there wasn’t any live controversy. That’s not the case with the actual AWB, which has most definitely been used to prosecute people owning the banned arms.
Hate to break it to you, but the state isn’t going to lose the case badly. The hearing for the preliminary injunction earlier this week went terribly. Plaintiffs’ lawyer sucked at communicating, did a terrible job of answering the judge’s questions and was openly hostile towards the judge (for good reason, as the judge was hostile to the 2A and even went so far as to call the 2A a suicide pact, but that’s never a wining strategy in court). Defendants’ lawyer was very articulate. Judge pretty much agreed with the defendants and rarely called them out on anything. NAGR v. Campbell is going to be a failure. We need SCOTUS intervention ASAP.
When this state gets its ass handed to it by SCOTUS it will be losing badly.
Sorry, you're right.different lawsuit

The National Association for Gun Rights takes legal action against the Massachusetts Assault Weapons Ban
The National Association for Gun Rights is suing the state of Massachusetts over their 1998 “assault weapons” ban which was expanded in 2016.

Dudley Brown is the President of the National Association for Gun Rights. He can't correctly spell one of the most overused clichés in the English language, in his own press release.
I didn’t listen to the hearing myself, just read other people’s comments on how it went over on Reddit. However, it seems that yes he indeed did say that. He basically made the state’s argument for them. Doesn’t think “in common use” is a thing, clearly hasn’t read up on Heller, McDonald, Caetano & Bruen, said semi-automatic weapons and automatic weapons are the same thing, etc.
If this judge is really that ignorant he’s going to get his ass handed to him
Same way any advocacy group shows harm? Having the right plaintiffs? How do you think FPC, GOA, NRA, etc. challenge anything? FPC is CA based and they’re currently challenging MA’s handgun rosters in Granata v. Campbell.
It’s just based on who the group decides gets top billing on the paperwork when the suit is filed. There is a named plaintiff in the lawsuit (Capen) who is a NAGR member but NAGR’s name comes first on all of the documents. Same with the Granata lawsuit but switched. FPC and Granata are both named plaintiffs, but Granata’s name is what comes first so it’s Granata v. Campbell instead of FPC v. Campbell. Same thing with NRA v. Bondi out of CA11. Both named, but NRA comes first.
Funding and providing some amount of legal representation. That is, the first attorney on the initial filing is Andrew Couture (MA), but there's also a Barry Arrington (CO) and Sebastien Torres (OH) who are appearing pro hoc [sic] vice and are probably members of the NAGR legal team. I'm curious who actually wrote their submissions and has been speaking at the hearings...
I doubt it. CA1 is one of, if not the most anti-gun circuit in the country. I also doubt SCOTUS would take this case up when there are so many other AWB & mag ban cases across the country they can take instead. This case is going nowhere and nothing bad will happen to this judge for blatantly defying SCOTUS.
Nothing bad ever happens to shitty judges other than getting passed over for any higher positions.
It’s obvious that nothing good will come out of the first circuit, but when we get federal relief with these things it should be interesting what the states and activist judges do.
Dude, you must be a very boring individual
according to the reddit thread, it looks like Arrington was speaking.
I don’t believe a damn thing those REDDHEADS say!

Massachusetts assault weapons ban targeted in federal suit
The group is asking the judge for a preliminary injunction against the law while the case carries on.
Massachusetts assault weapons ban targeted in federal suit
The National Association for Gun Rights looks to overturn the 1998 ban, which became a permanent law in 2004.
To be fair, GOAL works via legislation, not litigation. Him saying these things doesn’t really matter as far as GOAL goes since it doesn’t affect what they do. It does do some damage to Comm2A though, why would people want to donate to them if they know any lawsuits brought forth are most likely going to lose?
