I dunno, I am starting to think they have some kind of sub-dom kink at this point.

Well, you know it's an honor to be part of such an awesome group. Besides, no one else will put up with me.

Thank you for putting up with listening to those clowns!

Ditto

I would prefer a full smackdown, but this is actually a good option as it gives the lower courts a chance to see the error of their ways... At the end of the day the SCOTUS can no longer stay silent, they are being ignored by the lower courts on a daily basis, they simply can't allow that to continue...

Mauserme, just a quick note to say Thank You for these updates and all you do to contribute to this site/the greater community of 2A rights advocates in IL!

The case was filed in the Federal District of Northern Texas on May 1. (docket) Other plaintiffs at this time are Gun Owners Foundation, GOA, LA, MS, UT, Tennessee Firearms Association, Virginia Citizens Defense League, and an individual plaintiff. At issue is the ATF "final rule" which requires private individuals to possess a Federal Firearm License if they sell firearms which are not part of a personal collection. Firearms owned for self-defense are prohibited from being classified as being part of a personal collection. (i.e., Selling firearms owned for self-defense thus requires a license.)

26 states are now suing Biden over this! https://redstate.com/jeffc/2024/05/01/legal-showdown-26-states-file-lawsuits-targeting-atf-anti-gunner-rule-n2173621

No they don't. Its called SUPREME court for a reason. ...[bold added by yurimodin] 100% wrong. Lawsuits are tried. The Supreme Court (and Court of Appeals) can set the precedent on which the lawsuit is decided, but the trial must still take place. Trials take place in district courts, not in the Supreme Court or courts of appeals.

Senate Amendment 1 to HB2323 was adopted in Committee and HB2323 Uniform Crime Statistics Data is reported to the Senate floor, all with no testimony.

The House stands adjourned until 5/2/2024 @ 12:00 Noon.

The Senate has adjourned until 5/2/2024.

House Supplemental Calendar 1 and Senate Supplemental Calendar 1 are available.

Both House and Senate are underway. Senate Amendment 1 has been filed on HB4500 Unlawful Possession Weapons Changes the name of the offense of "persistent unlawful possession of a weapon" to "unlawful possession of a firearm by a repeat felony offender".

But we don't have a Democracy, we have a Constiutional Republic.

If it’s NOT one of the enumerated powers granted to the federal government …. the federal government should NOT be doing it ! Problem solved.

No they don't. Its called SUPREME court for a reason. They can chose to nip this in the bud ASAP if they want. Unfortunately they have seemed too worried about upsetting their blue blood Karen neighbors in the HOA of their gated communities to give a poo. I hope I am wrong but SCOTUS needs to decide if they want to actually be relevant in the future.

We are just reaping the thistles & thorns we sewed by enlarging the government to the size we needed it to be in order to win WW2 and never receding it back to its pre-war size.
