SCOTUS REFERS ISSUES BACK TO LOWER COURTS

By Bob Walsh

 

The U.S. Supreme Court is seen.


Assuming I heard it right SCOTUS has vacated various rulings and remanded their issues back to lower courts in view of the latest Second Amendment ruling.

These include a pretty much total concealed carry ban in Hawaii, an "assault weapons" ban in New Jersey and a "high-capacity" magazine ban in California.  

It is distinctly possible that this will result in another window, maybe a very long, wide window, during which actual citizens in the formerly great state of California will be able to purchase and possess those evil high-capacity magazines.  There was a similar window of about two weeks around income tax day 2-3 years back when a huge number of these magazines were sold legally in CA ad that was with pretty much zero notice for sellers to obtain stock.  I wonder if the 4th of July might bring a similar orgy of 2A purchasing this year.  

It is to be hoped for.
