ANJRPC v. Platkin - Assault Weapons Ban - 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals

Are we skipping over the jury box?

With judges walking criminals out the side doors of courthouses in order to avoid their capture by ICE agents, and prosecutors allowing ‘frequent fliers’ to walk out without any real penalty or surety, then yes, skip the jury box, collect your $200 and GO!!!

She also said that the air at Ground Zero was fine.

… However, that statement begged additional questions, which we posed to the AG:

Although a stay has been applied for, no stay has been issued. In light of the Third Circuit’s decision in this case, what is the OAG’s position in regard to what presiding law is currently?

The AG’s office has not yet responded to that question. Legal experts tell us that while the challenged law is technically unenforceable, a denial for a stay will be a more solid legal footing for New Jerseyans.

Yet, in spite of this seemingly rosy background, most FFLs are being cautious. Some have told us they have no plans to sell standard capacity magazines or full-functioning AR-15s, perhaps seeking to avoid risk and wanting to see a final disposition from the nation’s higher court. …

This could be a good opportunity to put the NJ supreme court to use. file to force NJ to issue a statement of current status. not the possible statuses they want in the future, but the current right the F now status. Or flood NJSP with calls about it.

Stay granted :face_vomiting::face_vomiting::face_vomiting:

So now we hold while we wait for SCOTUS cert. decision.

If SCOTUS denies cert. then I believe stay goes “poof”.

Let’s hope, I want my freedom

That’s true, but NJ’s deadline to file the petition for cert is October 15. And you can bet they will wait right up until the deadline to do so.

Utter horseshit but you called it @MattLutz.

How is the 10/15 timeline determined? Seems to me there should be a way for the 3rd to say (not that they would of course), “the stay is granted and you have two weeks to submit to SCOTUS, otherwise pound sand.”

“anticipated petition”. :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

You think the state is gonna chase down the FFL’s that sold the stand cap mags like SC Arms etc?

As much as this sucks, mag limits really need to be heard at SCOTUS. So, at least another year now.

It’s 90 days from the date of the initial ruling. So 90 days from July 17 is October 15. The plaintiffs CAN ask SCOTUS to vacate the stay in an emergency petition. But I actually don’t think they will. They will focus their efforts on opposing cert. My personal prediction is SCOTUS will grant and hold the petition, then remand it after they decide Viramontes. It will be favorable for us but we won’t get a resolution until June 2027.

Not doing any more finger crossing gifs, they ain’t working.

Come on SCOTUS, you’ve been so effing good at denying cert for 2A cases in the past, deny this one.

Crap, sorry that your rights are being denied a bit longer, but I think it will ultimately end in your favor.

Be patient and stay the course.
