Worth v. Jacobson, Eight Circuit Court (18-20yo)
(625 words) This is another case where the state wants 18, 19, and 20-year-olds to be excluded from The People for Second Amendment purposes, while still treating them as full on adults for other government needs. Age-restrictions like Minnesota’s are part of the American tradition of gun regulation going back to both the founding and…

Tuesday Tunes
(Don’t you hate it when you forget how many days a month has? I do. I accidentally scheduled this for tomorrow) This has come across my music feed numerous times. By the time Tuesday rolls around, I’ve forgotten what it was I planned to share with you. I remembered enough to go find it.

Miller v. Bonta, Stayed pending Appeal
(550 words) As predicted, the opinion of Judge Benitez was appealed to the Ninth Circuit court. There it went before a three judge administrative panel, just like Duncan v. Bonta should have. Two members of the panel decided to grant the stay pending appeal as an administrative stay. The third judge, Circuit Judge Callahan, did…

The State of the State’s Arguments
B.L.U.F. A long look at what the state is arguing. It has become repetitive. We continue to examine each filing made by the state, looking for some new argument. The best I’ve found is “oh, look at what all the district courts in infringing states have said!” (3000 words) Four-hundred ninety-four days ago, the Supreme…

Andrew Hanson v. DC Amicus Briefing (magazine ban)
B.L.U.F. Multiple states filed an Amicus Brief in the magazine ban out of the District of Columbia. They use the same old arguments. There are a few interesting bits of lawyering, things to pay attention too. All of this is designed to shave the corners of a square peg to get it to fit through…

Friday Feedback
We’ve had another case make it through oral arguments at the appellate court level. An interesting extra happened over in the Third Circuit Court, they immediately requested that the parties order a transcript of the oral arguments. I think this is so that there is a full and complete record when this is appealed to…

Progress, Koons v. AG New Jersey No. 23-1900 (3d Cir.)
(750 words) They held oral arguments in this case today. It was before a three judge panel. I listened to about 1.5 hours of nearly three hours of arguments. The state went first, they made some interesting arguments. I need to pay careful attention to the actual arguments because they sounded better than anything I’ve…

Miller v. Bonta, Round 4, Ninth Circuit Court, FIGHT! -edited
B.L.U.F. This is a challenge to California’s weapons ban. Judge Benitez used Heller, following the instructions of Bruen, and decided the case for the plaintiffs (good guys). An analysis of the state’s request for an emergency stay pending appeal shows the state in nearly full on panic. (2400 words) It looks like this case has…

Tuesday Tunes – Updated
Why didn’t you all tell me that I had a bad video link? There are albums that set new standards. The concept of a “Rock Opera” is one of them. We’ve heard them, The Who’s Tommy, Styx’s Mr. Roboto, Pink Floyd’s The Wall are all examples of rock operas. They tell a story from beginning…

What the SOT, over.
I am not a lawyer, I am not an FFL, I don’t hold an SOT. Do NOT use anything I say in this article as reliable. Having given you that warning, I want to talk about FFL and SOT for a bit. There was a time, prior to 1968, when people were able to purchase…
