So, under the ruling, the ATF can demand anything so long as it's part of an "ongoing criminal investigation." In this case, the definition of "ongoing criminal investigation" is anything for which the ATF wants to gather information.
I wasn't really happy with the court's rather vague logic in getting around the part of 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(3)(B) that specifically and only mentions "pistols and revolvers." Correct me if I'm foggy, but doesn't the Rehberg amendment cut off funding for this practice anyway?

Tom, the legislation kills funding for a nationwide reporting requirement. Not a region specific reporting requirement.
Yesterday, all plaintiffs have filed their notices of appeal to the DCCA. Quote:

Exactly what they had in mind from the beginning is what I'm thinking.

What a disaster.
I wish SAF had been involved, although I am not sure that is all NRAs direct action. From what happened in previous cases I think SAF probably wants to do their own thing(I would). Hopefully good results on appeal. |

First point: If you go back and actually read the initial complaints, you will see that the NSSF has the better case.
Second point: The NRA-ILA did not coordinate their D.C. case with the NSSF. Third point: It was a strategic and tactical mistake for the NRA-ILA to file 3 separate, but identical, cases in three different jurisdictions. Only one of the three judges has not consolidated, and that judge is/was waiting to see what D.C. does. |

We are still in preliminary stages with Natl Shooting Sports Found., et al v. B. Todd Jones (12-5009, 12-5010), as noted in the following circuit docket:

The other thing that I noted is that the NRA is not the lead party to the case. the NSSF is the lead party. Having said this, it is the NRA attorneys that are objecting to the Brady Center becoming an amicus, not the NSSF. |

From the docket in NSSF v. Melson:

Note: I have been "catching up" on many cases today, and haven't had time to read any of the briefs. Many of the entries in the 2A Cases thread have been updated and will continue to be updated as I get to them. |

Al, you'll get by with a warning this time. Due to the hard work you're already doing around here keeping up on everything else.
At least we haven't missed them yet. Do they post the recordings from this court?

Oral arguments are made available to the public, only after the case has closed. It costs about $30 bucks.
Orals are made available to the participating parties, but according to the D.C. Circuit website, only the attorneys may listen to them. So the long and short of it is that No, we will not get to listen. |
