They want time for the Democrats to win the House, the Senate, and the Presidency so they can pack the courts. Then the now-minority pro-freedom Justices can dissent the heck out of every anti-2A ruling and feel good about themselves.

FATF

Officially there is no orders list expected on Monday. There were no conferences this past Friday. I assume this case and all the others will be scheduled for conference on Thursday the 14th. That said, SCOTUS could surprise us.

Do they still not have the votes, or is that just a smokescreen to keep pro-2A groups thinking "Naah, they'll never pass something that stupid." ?

Awesome, thank you for digging that up. Now if they could only charge someone for a criminal violation of Federal law. That would be awesome. Congress info on the US Code in question: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB10494

Keeping in mind I'm not a lawyer, I was under the impression you had to have legal standing to be able to sue another party. What is the US Government's legal standing here, the fact that it's the US Government?

The charges will be pleaded down down a misdemeanor, the state gets to destroy the guns (or they end up in somebody else's private collection), the defendant gets a slap on the wrist, the lawyers get their money. It's a win for everyone!

Has anyone been caught up by the inheritance requirements? Enforcing PICA in a massive gun-grabbing exercise wouldn't end well for someone, but if they can get them one or two at a time by interfering with a probate case then they'll call it a win.

I expect the more extreme states to attempt to pass ATF response legislation to "close the new loopholes".

She talked specifically about her testimony in the case(s) in the 7th Circuit. She then noted that she hopes SCOTUS gets that case. Well, I guess that means freedom is only a few years away! Hooray for us!

What happens if (when?) the 7th still doesn't do anything like a petulant child ignoring a parent?

To do what, say pretty please with sugar on top? All sarcasm aside, can he compel 7CA to more forward?
