DUNCAN V. BONTA GOES TO SCOTUS CONFERENCE - California Large Capacity Magazine Prohibition

Who is this Alzheimer guy everyone keeps mentioning?

Mods: You can delete this message if you feel like it ... it does not contribute to knowledge about the legal case we were discussing. I think I've already forgotten its name though. Maybe one of the posts here will remind me.
 
!!!!BREAKING NEWS!!!!!
(No clickbait) :cool:

Viramontes/Clark Amici Briefings are coming in. CRPA has filed its Brief underscoring the DUNCAN issues as well as lower court shenanigans. Here’s the TOC:

ARGUMENT ............................................................................... 4
I. The Second Amendment Protects Common
Semiautomatic Ri�les and the Ordinary
Means of Keeping, Using, and Maintaining
Them .............................................................................. 4
II. The Court’s Reasoning in These Cases Will
Govern Duncan, and the Court Should Say So 7
A. AR-15s are protected Arms, and the
magazines they are designed to use
cannot be treated as constitutionally
unrelated objects. .............................................. 7
B. The Court should grant and summarily
reverse Duncan or, at a minimum,
provide clear guidance that requires
reversal.. ................................................................ 9
III. The Court’s Decision Should Be Clear
Enough to Foreclose the Regulatory Evasion
That Has Followed Every Prior Second
Amendment Decision .............................................. 12
A. Hostile governments have responded to
every major Second Amendment
decision by devising new ways to evade
the right, and there is no reason to
expect this case will be different..... ............ 13
B. The Court’s holding should foreclose the
most predictable avenues of evasion. ........ 17

Laws for Dummy’s? What does this update mean?

People were afraid that the current set of 2A cases before the Supreme Court were going to be interpreted too narrowly, so AR-15s would get protection but not necessarily the magazines for them. This brief helps link the legality of magazines and other products that are commonly used in conjunction with AR-15s to the Viramontes/Clark cases that are going to be argued in court next year.

It also warns of illegal side-stepping by gun grabbing Democrats, like the "sin tax" that makes us pay 11% on top of all the other costs or the new law that forces vendors to jump through hoops to get parts to California customers.
 
It’s an opportunity for all the “friends of the court “ to express their opinion about how the ruling on this case should result.

Hopefully, the Supreme Court sees the merit in these arguments and rules in favor of the 2A.

I think they have to address magazines in some way. AW regulations often cite a capacity to accept a detachable magazine greater than 10
rounds. It’s part of AW definitions.

Well look what the US DOJ just did -

TheUnited States has filed a brief as amicus curiae supporting petitioners, arguing that such a ban is unconstitutional.
 
For a second I found myself a little excited to read a report of Duncan set for argument. But, alas, my hopes were dashed. The Duncan thread has become a Viramontes thread. I missed the fork in the road.😞
 
Those Catholic bishops pretend to be neutral--but if you read the amicus they filed--it's very clear where they stand.
 
I just want a conclusion to this nonsense, man...this just feels like a carrot on a stick thing at this point.

What the hell is this Viramontes crap now too? 🫩
