This could get real interesting once it hits the Supreme Court

We need another Scalia or two first. Then I say bring it on.

We may be good with the seats by the time this makes it that far.

Strike while the iron is hot they say. But is the iron hot enough yet? We need to get Scalia's seat filled ASAP.

Bottom line: If the nominee is someone that Schumer and the Democrats cannot, ever, accept...that's the right one.

So will the NRA bother with NY again if Scalia's replacement is an originalist, or will they just not file a suit?

If they can they should. But after so many failed and fizzled attempts anyone bring suit should make sure it's airtight first. No more half assing it!

I agree, ot will take years to get there so might as well get started now to not waste time.

Don't read the comments section to that article, its infuriating. Like it was said above this is perfect timing for the suit, the Trump SCOTUS nominations should be settled in nicely by the time this gets to the Supreme Court. Another couple of thoughts on this
1; Look at how long this law has been active before the governor arbitrarily decided she was going to change the definition and enforcement of the law
2; Look at how long it takes before the right opportunity presents itself to get rid of a bad law through the courts.

Well you told me not to......but I did anyways!!
I see one of the biggest problems in this country is that people have no clue about the BOR.
Almost every single commenter says that peoples safety overrides other peoples rights.
They all agree that the governor can create any laws, even if it violates people rights.
Boy are they going to get a HUGE surprise when a constitutional SCOTUS gets ahold of these "laws".

BUT IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE!
THINK OF THE KIDS!
YOU DONT NEED ASSAULT WEAPONS TO PROTECT YOU, THATS WHAT THE POLICE ARE FOR!
these among others will all be used in an emotional plee for "common sense" restrictions against freedom. Hopefully the judges don't read Mother Jones. If this law was regulating abortions and was arbitrarily modified on the whim of a governor, there would be Starbucks with windows smashed out, and cars on fire all over Massachusetts

what circuit does Mass have to go too? If it's the second it will die there just like the rest. Nothing going to happen in SCOTUS with out 2 new appointments, one is not going to cut it. Nothing made it when Scalia was on the bench why would one make it with his replacement in the seat? You need a replacement in and Ginsberg gone.

Bader can't have much left. She had some issues. We should start now and I heard by next week he will announce his Supreme Court pick.

The good thing is over the next 4 years, it's only liberal judges who will be getting into stratospheric years.
