Another 2A case awaiting cert vote

Posted by David Hardy · 28 June 2022 11:27 AM

Whitaker v. DC, that would indirectly pose the remaining issue, permit requirements of "good character" or its equivalent (here, whether he was "suitable" to be issued a permit). Indirectly, since petitioner had a DC carry permit, and it was revoked, then reinstated (posing a big question of mootness).

I suppose all the pending petitions on 2A issues will be GVRed, granted, vacated and remanded--in other words, since NYSRPA altered the playing field, let the circuits reconsider their opinions, apply the new standards, and if anyone has a complaint, file another petition for cert.

UPDATE: Yep, I'd expect the magazine-size petition, like all the others, to get GVRed. Orders will probably come out tomorrow.

What about the Onerous Magazine Bans?

I sure hope that they get GVR'd.

Hopefully the ones from the 9th especially.

I look forward to them explaining how in many/all of them passed the first step of their "rational basis two step" but probably won't now.

Looks like everything 2A has been GVR'd.
