This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, analyzes why many believe the Supreme Court disregards Second Amendment rights. It examines the court's handling of cases like Wolford v. Lopez and Shenenthal v. Raul, focusing on how the court manages its caseload and the implications for Second Amendment jurisprudence. The discussion highlights the court's decisions on place and people restrictions, suggesting a pattern of rejecting cases that could clarify or strengthen gun rights.
This video discusses the Supreme Court's recent order list and its implications for Second Amendment cases, particularly those involving magazine bans and assault weapons bans. Legal expert Anna Barvier explains the anticipation surrounding the denial or granting of cert petitions for cases like Duncan v. Bonta. The discussion highlights the 'people, places, and things' framework for Second Amendment litigation and explores potential outcomes if the Supreme Court denies these cases, including GVR (Grant, Vacate, Remand) actions.
This video outlines three potential outcomes for the Duncan v. Bonta case at the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). The possibilities include accepting the case for oral arguments and an opinion, declining to hear it, or issuing a GVR (Grant, Vacate, and Remand). The discussion touches on the ramifications of each decision and how SCOTUS might handle cases based on other Second Amendment rulings.
The Supreme Court has relisted the Duncan v. Bonta case, indicating ongoing deliberation on Second Amendment challenges. While the court rejected two cases involving short-barreled shotguns, Duncan remains under consideration alongside numerous other Second Amendment cases. Potential outcomes range from accepting the case for oral arguments, declining it, or issuing a GVR (Grant, Vacate, and Remand) order, which could send the case back to lower courts for reconsideration based on new precedents.
The Third Circuit Court has sua sponte taken review of New Jersey's 'assault weapon' and magazine ban cases, bypassing a three-judge panel. This en banc review, scheduled for October 15th, is significant as the Supreme Court has indicated interest in such cases. The court's composition, leaning Republican, and recent pro-2A rulings suggest a potential shift in legal interpretation regarding firearm restrictions.
The Supreme Court has unanimously denied emergency review for concealed carry bans, impacting cases like Antonyuk in New York and Wolfford in Hawaii. While the Antonyuk case returns to the lower court for a merits decision, the Second Circuit's precedent that Bruin applies only to exceptional cases presents an uphill battle. A potential legislative solution, the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill, is moving through the House.
The Supreme Court has declined to hear the Antonyuk v. James case, a 'sensitive places' lawsuit originating from New York. This decision indicates the Court's current disfavor for hearing cases on interlocutory appeals from preliminary injunctions, a strategy previously employed by Second Amendment advocacy groups. This outcome reinforces the CRPA's decision to pursue final judgments rather than preliminary injunctions in their own litigation, such as the May case.
The US Supreme Court's recent orders list provided no news on "Snope v. Brown" and "Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island," leaving their status uncertain. The court also denied certiorari in "Antoniak v. James," a challenge to New York's concealed carry law, and issued a GVR (Grant, Vacate, Remand) in "Gray v. United States" concerning felony firearm possession.
The Supreme Court has denied certiorari for Anton v. James, a significant Second Amendment case concerning New York's concealed carry laws. While disappointing, the denial is not entirely surprising as the Court typically avoids interlocutory cases. This means the legal battle will continue in lower courts, with the potential to return to the Supreme Court after a final ruling. The case challenges New York's attempt to circumvent the Bruin decision by replacing 'good cause' with 'good moral character' for permit applications.
This video discusses the ongoing legal battles surrounding concealed carry permits, particularly in New York, following the Supreme Court's Bruin decision. It highlights the Second Circuit's repeated defiance of Bruin and Raheem, leading to a new Supreme Court petition. The Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Trump administration is actively investigating states and localities, including the LA County Sheriff's Department, for infringing on Second Amendment rights related to concealed carry. An executive order was also signed to expedite permit applications in Washington D.C., signaling a strong stance on concealed carry access.
The Supreme Court has relisted challenges to assault weapon and magazine bans, specifically the cases of Snope v. Brown and Ocean State Tactical. Multiple relists can signal either a higher interest from the Court, potentially leading to review and a favorable ruling, or a pending denial with a dissenting opinion. The frequency of relists for these cases, now around seven or eight times, suggests a complex deliberation process.
The Supreme Court's 8-1 decision in Range v. Garland, following a GVR from Raheem v. Bonta, has significant implications for the Second Amendment fight. The Third Circuit, on en banc review, ruled that federal law prohibiting non-violent felons from possessing firearms is unconstitutional as applied to Mr. Range. This decision challenges the government's ability to broadly disarm individuals based on past non-violent offenses, emphasizing historical traditions and the definition of 'the people' protected by the Second Amendment.
