Bianchi v Brown

[para bellum]

Does anyone know where this case stands? It's docketed with the SCOTUS but it seems like it's being held up in the 4th Circuit.

This is the Maryland ban on semi-autos and hi-cap mags. It mirrors the bans in other States like CA and WA (all pushed by Bloomberg's bunch).

The SCOTUS granted cert, and then remanded it back to the 4th Circuit to be decided in light of Bruen. The 4th Circuit gave it to a 3-judge panel, who were finally set to issue a ruling, and suddenly it was yanked from the 3-judge panel to be decided en banc.

This was just a stalling tactic, the ban was almost certainly going to be struck down by the 3-judge panel because the guns in question are completely within the 2A protections.

Fourth Circuit Shenanigans Should Be Called Out by SCOTUS

Now who knows how long we'll have to wait? SCOTUS needs to pull this from the 4th Circuit and just be done with it. Too many people are having their 2A rights infringed by these unconstitutional bans.

Is somebody judge or court shopping? It does not matter, as I think it will not stand. The International Law Enforcement Educators & Trainers Association filed an amicus brief against it, a day or two ago. The Firearms Policy Coalition filed one against it back on the 13th. These are not radical gun nut groups, and the brief points to the fact the original case claimed rates of fire many times what is humanly possible for semi-autos, and point to the lower power or the round than high powered rifles used commonly for hunting.

The 4th Circuit is as anti-gun as the 9th.

It was about to be struck- that's the only reason they would pull it back and re-hear it en banc.

I think they have oral arguments set for today, but who knows how long they will sit on it.

Lefty Harvard Professor Laurence Tribe said AR-15's fired 10 rounds per second, lol.

4th circuit is stalling.
There;s an appeal for cert to the USSC.

I read some of it. The pro-gun side tore them apart.

Not that it will matter- the 4th will uphold the law.

The SCOTUS remanded back to the 4th circuit like 2 years ago, and it's languished there ever since.

I saw on the USSC website that it was docketed, but I think that's just a placeholder.

Probably because the loser at the 4th circuit is going to appeal either way. Hard to imagine they would decide for Maryland, but who can predict what those judges will do. They are strong anti-gun.

Neither one of those will step down if there's a dem in the WH, so it's gonna take 3/4 of the Senate to get rid of them.

More likely and easier for them to pack the court.

4th Circuit, en banc, issued its final decision on 8-6.

If appeals have not already been filed with the SCOTUS, they will be soon.

Held:
The assault weapons at issue fall outside the ambit of protection offered by the
Second Amendment because, in essence, they are military-style weapons designed for
sustained combat operations that are ill-suited and disproportionate to the need for self-
defense. Moreover, the Maryland law fits comfortably within our nation’s tradition of
firearms regulation. It is but another example of a state regulating excessively dangerous
weapons once their incompatibility with a lawful and safe society becomes apparent, while
nonetheless preserving avenues for armed self-defense.

For these reasons, we decline to wield the Constitution to declare that military-style
armaments which have become primary instruments of mass killing and terrorist attacks in
the United States are beyond the reach of our nation’s democratic processes.

The errors here are innumerable, and obvious to anyone familiar with Heller , McDonald, Caetano and Bruen.
