Yikes. This could be for all the marbles, folks. I'm very apprehensive.

 

[Jeeper]

Courts stay stuff all the time like this. I really hope to god that Silveria is NOT heard. It would be so easy to give a mixed ruliing that would hurt us on this one. I know others disagree but I dont think that an "assault weapons" case will bring much simpathy our way.

 

[Old Fuff]

Other then the obvious constitutional issues, the strongest thing we have going for us is that the statistical evidence does not show that semi-automatic/military pattern rifles or firearms with large-cap. magazines comprise anything more then a very minor place in the total number of firearms used by criminals. The public safety issue of these guns vs. other kinds simply isn't there.
