In Unanimous Smith & Wesson Ruling, SCOTUS Says AR-15s Legal and In Common Use

This decision bodes well for when the Court finally decides to take such a case. More immediately, two consolidated cases are scheduled to be argued before the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on June 30, which deal specifically with state bans on semi-automatic rifles. Joe LoPorto, Director of Legal Operations for New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate, commented that, "while not entirely central to the holding in Smith & Wesson v. Mexico, this language in a unanimous opinion by the Supreme Court could prove highly influential on the panel hearing ANJRPC and Cheeseman later this month. The Supreme Court seems to concede the point that semi-automatic rifles are both legal and commonly owned for lawful purposes."

Well it looks like it will take these three turds a year to tell us we lost.  Is there anyway we can move for a summary judgement lose faster and get to the supreme court quicker?  

Obama judge-no
Biden  judge- hell no
Reagan judge- probably not.

Those will be how those judges vote before one word is argued in the oral arguments.  

We should have all cases summary judgement.  We are literally wasting so much time.

Judge Smith was appointed by George W. Bush not Reagan.

The oral arguments should be broadcast live on you tube so it'll be interesting to see what questions the judges ask. The plaintiffs and NJ all agreed to these oral arguments in order to expedite these cases. If they had asked for summary judgement and went straight to an en banc or to SCOTUS, they could've been rejected outright. Then again, I'm not an attorney and only speculating.

This is a major development. The chief 3rd Circuit judge ordered  an en banc to hear the combined AWB and Mag ban cases on October 15, 2025.  Of the 13 judges, 7 have previously ruled favorably in 2A cases.

I don't blame you but let's see if she actually gets confirmed before October 15th and gets a seat on the en banc panel.

Jennifer Mascott was confirmed by the Senate yesterday as a new judge in the 3rd Circuit. Once she is sworn in, she will be able to sit on the AWB/Mag ban en banc. With her and Emil Bove on the court that gives us 8 to 6 judges in our favor.

Mascott is still awaiting a Senate confirmation vote.

Oral arguments only. We'll be lucky if a decision is made by the first quarter of 2026. By then, Murphy and Platkin will be long gone.

Just making sure that everyone's expectations are set. Even if we get a good judgement in early 2026, the new leftist team put in place by vanilla Harris will appeal, and we'll have to wait for USSC to intervene. We are still a very long way from satisfaction.

If the 3rd Circuit does rule in our favor, would New Jersey be dumb enough to appeal to SCOTUS? Because If NJ does appeal, then the anti-gunners risk having every single AWB and Mag ban overturned nationwide by SCOTUS.  

eta:

if we do win and NJ doesn't appeal, then expect NJ to pass a law requiring semi auto rifle licenses similar to the law New York State passed in 2022.

Best case?

Conservative, female judge might be sworn in by tomorrow's arguments, meaning she should be able to participate, possibly edging things in our favor. (If she doesn't go all emotional and fuck us like ACB).

After the arguments are heard, we hurry up and wait for a judgement, maybe by Q1 2026.

If we win, the Dems appeal or will pass a law that negates the ruling and we go to court again.

It will be more years of waiting even in the above stated best case scenario. Horseshit, but nobody in power actually cares about our rights.
