Supreme Court reinstated portions of the "ghost gun" rule.
There is a very big chance of this. The ruling was only to reinstate the stay on the original TRO while the case actually went through appeals. That means the Fifth Circuit will have to hear the actual case now, then that ruling may get appealed to SCOTUS. Four of the justices wanted to let the TRO stay in effect, which means they already think the rule is unconstitutional. The 3 liberal justices will probably say the rule is good, leaving two who we have to guess if it was willingness to let the case go through the process or they think the rule is good. I think the odds are good that at least one of the two was just wanting to get to rule on the actual case more quickly.
And it’s worth noting that the 5th Circuit justices are members of the Special Pants club, and they’ve done very well on our behalves lately. I’d trust them to handle it appropriately. If the commies want to have their way, they’re ultimately going to have to either repeal the 2A (and start CW2), or legislate the issues in such a way that SCOTUS doesn’t have to beat them down in court. Not even congress can pass an unconstitutional law and avoid it going eventually to SCOTUS.srothstein wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2023 9:27 pmThere is a very big chance of this.

I received a canned response from Mr. Cornyn about how much he is concerned about gun violence and the 2A, thanking me for my input.Grayling813 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 11:04 am Thank TX Sen Cornyn for teaming with Demoncrats to infringe.
Time for him to go. He’s forgotten that he serves the people of Texas, and not the entire U.S.mayor wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2023 8:58 amI received a canned response from Mr. Cornyn about how much he is concerned about gun violence and the 2A, thanking me for my input.Grayling813 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 11:04 am Thank TX Sen Cornyn for teaming with Demoncrats to infringe.
What a squish.
Well lately, yeah. They’ve shown strong testicular fortitude in several good rulings in the past year. An abundance of such fortitude requires special pants to accommodate it.
Yeah, I always found the manner, time, and place of Justice Scalias's death a title too convenient for the opposition. Maybe we ought to put a phone tap on Hillary's Carpet Cleaners?
Last week, we reported on the Biden Administration’s treacherous move to defund scholastic archery, hunting, and marksmanship programs under an obscure provision of the Orwellian Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA). The BSCA has proven to be the gift that keeps on giving for extreme and persecutory gun control... Now, details are emerging of Biden’s latest plans to leverage the sprawling, sinister act in his continued pursuit of civilian disarmament. This time the target is eliminating the age-old practice of noncommercial, private firearm sales.
...
Previously, an individual only needed an FFL when engaged in “a course of trade or business” involving “repetitive” buying and reselling of firearms with the “principal objective” of “livelihood and profit.” The BSCA removed the “livelihood” element so that profit seeking alone would fulfill the required objective of the sales. This change broadened the FFL requirement, but a “course” of “repetitive” buying and reselling of firearms is still necessary. Nevertheless, it has remained unclear where the lines are to be drawn.
