BRIEF FOR THE UNITED STATES AS AMICUS CURIAE IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONERSDepartment of Justice ...QUESTION PRESENTEDWhether the Second Amendment allows a State to make it unlawful for concealed-carry license-holders to carry firearms on private property open to the public without the property owner’s express authorization ...B. The Court Of Appeals’ Decision Warrants Review1. This Court should grant review because, as eight judges correctly recognized, Hawaii’s law “largely vitiates” Bruen ... and “effectively nullifies” the right to bear arms ... Bruen explained that the Second Amendment secures a “general right to publicly carry arms for self-defense,” but that our regulatory tradition includes restrictions identifying “exceptional circumstances under which one could not carry arms.” ...2. The Ninth Circuit’s decision independently warrants review because it conflicts with the Second Circuit’s in Antonyuk ...3. Finally, granting review in this case would allow this Court to provide much-needed guidance to lower courts ...4. This case is an appropriate vehicle for deciding the question presented and for clarifying “the principles underlying the Second Amendment.” Rahimi ...CONCLUSIONThis Court should grant the petition for a writ of certiorari, limited to the first question presented ...

Kostas Moros - https://x.com/MorosKostas/status/1919392397060153388Next week will be Snope's 14th conference and Ocean State's 15th. The record is 23. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up because a denial is still possible, but I think a denial at this point aside from being enraging, would also be bizarre. It does not normally take anywhere near this long for a dissent. Perhaps they are working on a per curiam. Or perhaps they are waiting on Duncan (no, I don't know when that will be filed). But in either circumstance, why keep relisting? Just take it off weekly conferences until it's time.

two gun bills being held up in committee... by Republicans
Washington state Supreme Court released a decision upholding the ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds.
Sometimes I feel like I am raging and screaming into the void, "DO SOMETHING!"
ATF recently issued suppressors to a bunch of their agents. Reason? "Health and safety during training." Hmm - that reasoning sounds familiar.
What about our "Health and safety"?
I got tired of raging and screaming into the void.Shrugging uses less energy.
Part of the hearing protection act holdup is apparently a TN congressman who wants his own bill passed. His bill drops the tax stamp to $5, but keeps suppressors on the registry. According to G&G, he is working with Chris Cox, formerly of NRA/ILA.

Republicans have no excuse to not gut this unconstitutional law to the fullest extent the Parliamentarian allows; anything less is cowardice and a direct compromise on our 2A rights.” - @RealGunLobbyist
