@2aHistory @hannahhill_sc In NYC this also results in a back door waiting period, because NYPD usually takes over a month to process these “requests” and you have to wait until they send you a new copy of your permit in the mail with that new serial # on the back of it.

@2aHistory @hannahhill_sc For NY on top of the license to purchase/possess, your local PD needs to individually approve each pistol purchse and if they refuse to add that firearm to your permit for whatever reason, you can’t possess it in the state. This also results in a backdoor ban of certain platforms

Very good answer to everyone wanting DOJ to sue their state next. The DOJ’s responsibility is to think strategically and bring winnable lawsuits that create good 2A precedents. Sadly, that doesn’t make sense in every state.
Kostas Moros@MorosKostas

Seeing a lot of "why hasn't DOJ sued my state which has an AWB/mag ban!?". Because it would probably be pointless as there is already controlling caselaw in that circuit. There's two reasons a lawsuit of that kind makes sense: 1. There is no controlling AWB precedent in that circuit, or no case way ahead of it on the same issue that awaits a ruling. The Denver lawsuit falls into this category, as the 10th Circuit has yet to definitively rule on the issue post-Bruen. 2. There is controlling precedent, but no case is pending at SCOTUS right now from that circuit. Virginia in the 4th Circuit would fit this category. After Snope was denied last year, there is no 4th Circuit case waiting on a cert decision that I am aware of, so DOJ could quickly lose its way up to SCOTUS without getting stayed to await some other case. If DOJ filed a lawsuit against, e.g., the Washington State assault weapons ban, it would get immediately stayed pending Miller (which is awaiting a ruling in the Ninth Circuit) or pending a cert decision in Duncan. It would be pointless. Hope that helps.

Restoring and preserving 2A rights is one of the President’s top priorities. The Supreme Court has doubled down on rulings protecting this right. @TheJusticeDept and the 2A Section at @CivilRights will enforce the law of the land for ALL Americans.

@MorosKostas Yes, the all important Second Amendment, which guarantees that the government shall not have the right to…(checks notes) take their own guns away. Just as the Founding Fathers intended.

Through historical tradition and the choices of the American people, SAF believes neither form of carry may be banned. Our brief explains this position, and why the en banc court should rule for Mr. Baird and strike down California's open carry ban.
SAF tweet media
SAF@2AFDN

SAF and its partners have filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in support of the plaintiff-appellant in Mark Baird v. Rob Bonta, urging the Court to strike down California’s ban on the open carry of firearms. While Mr. Baird mostly prevailed before a three-judge panel, that victory has been vacated and the case will be reheard en banc. SAF is joined in the amicus filing by the California Rifle and Pistol Association (@CRPAnews), Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus (@mnguncaucus), Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (@CCRKBA) “The plain text of the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms—openly or concealed—and open carry has been the default manner of lawful carry for most of American history,” said SAF Director of Legal Research and Education Kostas Moros. “California’s ban has no foundation in our Nation’s tradition, and this Court should reaffirm that open carry is protected just as the Founders and generations of Americans understood it to be. As our brief argues, neither open nor concealed carry may be banned today." This case presents another clear opportunity for the Ninth Circuit to faithfully apply Bruen’s historical tradition test to one of the last remaining state bans on open carry, rather than allowing the government to nullify the right through interest-balancing disguised as a “nuanced approach."

@DavidDavid97609 @bryanlafonte @2Aupdates Their final fallback plan is usually what they did in Bianchi, citing dicta from Heller that said “M16s and the like” could possibly be restricted in some way. They then say “well ARs are ‘like’ M16s, so therefore they can be banned”.

@bryanlafonte @2Aupdates They get around that inconvenient admission by contending that AR-15 style rifles are not "arms" according to the plain text of the Second Amendment, because [select unplain reason: (1) experts say so; (2) dANgERouS & UnuSUaL; (3) proceed to Bruen's Step 2: History & Tradition]

@reddit_lies Ignoring the fact that Harry Potter should not be treated as a source on which you should base your philosophy, the irony that this is actually a pro-gun argument…

@protectwithbear I’ve never understood this crusade against open carry some people have. I get the argument from a tactical perspective, but that is a choice each individual should make for themselves. We should not discourage that choice, especially if people choose a proper retention holster.

@2aHistory @realAF887 @MorosKostas I assume that reapportionment would be based on current duty stations? There’s probably a couple seats that would be added to the new circuits, but whichever one contains California would have enough seats to not add any more (and most of the bad judges are Cali-based seats).

@poppavein @hannahhill_sc @MorosKostas @AAGDhillon @Arrinba3870 Because 1) you’re in the Ninth Circuit which is unlikely to give you a win and in that same Circuit, California is a much easier target with way more infringements to attack and 2) there is already a case (Gator’s Guns v. State of Washington) pending cert before the Supreme Court

This is always so surreal to read. Never in my life did I expect to see the federal government fighting to protect the right to keep and bear arms like this. So grateful for the work @AAGDhillon and @Arrinba3870 are doing.

@VolokhC @MorosKostas The only critique I have is that Stephen should’ve mentioned that in Koons, the dissenting judge David J. Porter pointed out the majority’s mistaken reliance on Martin’s collection and the majority completely ignored that part of his dissent.
