BINACHI V. BROWN

By Bob Walsh

 

The U.S. Supreme Court is seen.


This is a really interesting 2A case emerging from Maryland.  Brown is the Maryland A. G.  This is an attempt to get SCOTUS to bypass all the bullshit from the various states regarding the Second Amendment and slap down those states.  

The plaintiffs are requesting that SCOTUS use their Rule #11 to make a ruling in the matter prior to the case being fully adjudicated in the lower courts.  That seldom happens.  Seldom isn't never.

The basic idea is that many, many states, including Maryland, California and Hawaii, are basically telling their citizens that the Second Amendment and the Bruen decision do not apply in their state.  It is clear to anybody capable of critical thinking that this is the case.  These states (and others) are simply throwing up roadblocks every chance they get because they can get away with it.  They are regularly and repeatedly violating the rights of honest, law abiding citizens.  

Statistically it is not a good bet that this will happen.  Rule 11 is only rarely invoked.  I am hopeful, though not expectant.
