  1. He should have said, I'll explain function of the trigger, when you define a woman. . . Amy is coming home today so I will be busy but will try to get a video out. But I should have argued it I would have done better
  2. they did this in California goal is to minimize the number of instructors to make it harder and more expensive to get a carry permit
  3. Orals today. I think they went well as my guess is they remand saying GSL-1 is not good law. https://www.illinoiscourts.gov/courts/appellate-court/oral-argument-audio/#audioModal
  4. wrong case. As i recall it was from southern Illinois, and it was about revoking FOID cards due to a charge not a conviction and the judge issued an order
  5. 1 The same district court applied the same reasoning to reach the same conclusion in six other matters, in which the government has filed notices of appeal. See United States v. Kevin Delaney, No. 23-3156; United States v. Malik Daniel, No. 23-3173; United States v. Devon Freeman, No. 23-3186; United States v. Christopher SalmeNegrete, No. 23-3212; United States v. Johnny Anderson, No. 23-3217; and United States v. Jose Diaz, No. 23-3259. In each of these matters, the government will soon file unopposed motions to stay the appeal pending a decision by this Court in Prince.
  6. wasn't there a case from an Illinois court telling State Police they could not revoke FOIDS for felony indictment as that is not a conviction and innocent until proven guilty?
  7. it's a good question. What do you want for your money? NRA is not getting another dime from me until Wayne is gone and they come up with a plan. Right now they are riding on NSSF coattails. I understand the other two as well. SAF I'm told has a big money funder underwriting lots of their expenses. Second Amendment Law center has a donation page with ear marks for Illinois and Second Amendment Defense and Education Coalition, is Illinois based founded by some of the people, including me from ASC. Those are my two recommendations as we have a more direct input on how things are handled Donate — SADEC Contribute — Second Amendment Law Center (2alc.org)
  8. I get all the frustration, our problem is two fold 1. Chest beating 2. Money NRA was way cautious in taking things to court as their experience was that courts would rule against them because of their name. If O'Connor had not stepped down prior to Heller we would have lost that case. NRA was against taking it up at the time. Heller which started off in 2003. Two years before O'Connor would announce her retirement. in 2005 when she announced her retirement Robers was nominated. The Chief Justice died anmd Roberts was renominated for the top spot in october of 2005. In January of 2006 Alito was confirmed to her spot on the Court. Alito has since been one of the staunchest defenders of the RKBA. without those two events, had the original Heller case not been delayed, we would be in a very different posture today. Once the Court changed, the jury was still out on Roberts, but looked close for us and the SAF gamble payed off. Right after Heller, McDonald was filed as was an NRA case for incorporation and the race was one. McDonald is the lead case as it was filed just ahead of the NRA case. Much like what happened in Moore and Shepard. SAF found a niche in tapping into gun owners ire about the pace of change and was willing to roll the dice on more than NRA was and GOA was still a small group. NRA had a very different strategy on how to approach the Court, I worked on a lot of it for my small part but there were other forces at work. SAF was free wheeling and using every case to fundraise and built a large following for it. And it has been a dog show ever since and even more so with the demise of NRA. NSSF has stepped in for part of the glory. GOA has gotten larger and plays in the arena as does FPC. then you have a lot of the two bit players with local counsels and people trying to make a name for themselves. So lots of groups are trying to be the next big case to make their bones at SCOTUS and beat their chest about it. And we have to fund this ourselves, so some groups have landed a whale to fund all kinds of stuff and some have become adept at fundraising off the suits. and what slows us down is the ability to front a lot of this money up front. While at thew same time groups are looking to be the chest beating PR flaks for bragging rights to be the hear apparent to the big bad NRA on the national scene. When to often not many look to a three Demensional game in the area. and are looking for the quick headline.
  9. ok gang, I know it's depressing at time but we still have options 1. McGlynn seems to want to move the merits case along quickly. I think the reason hes not going to give us an injunction on the registration is NOT to give the 3 judge panel a second bit at the apple as he sees holes to drive a bus through. 2. Groups will likely file a cert petition and we could ask them to hold said petition if not inclined to grant it outright then hold it until Rahimi and Cargill have been decided so we could get a GVR 3. lets see what the DOJ files in Cargil tomorrow and Kwame files in a week -- my bet is they file the 21 anti-gun AGs with a boiler plate guns are bad bumpstocks are machineguns amici 4. I think we could see a decision on the merits by 4/15. But with two cases pending at SCOTUS, we will see something, most likely some clarification on Issues by the end of June, which would be about the time we would be getting in front of the Court of appeals. The real trick is going to be to get Bevis and Herearras to not be the lead case on the merits, because the Southerns cases would be a win for our side not fighting a loss like they did
  10. Mauser is right because that led to the Feinstein quote of I could have gotten 41 votes Mr. & Mrs America turn them in. It was also a two feature test. thats why the sale of ARs and AKs never stopped. no threaded barrel with a flashider, no bayonet mount, no collapsible stocks and you were good to go. So they lie about the ban, becuase sales never stopped. there were preban guns that could be bought and sold at will and then post ban guns that largely looked like A2s without flash hiders
  11. I doubt they will take it. If they do and remand, it opens up a whole can of worms for the dems to toss at Thomas and Alito.
