Bianchi v Brown (Frosh), Maryland AWB Case, Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals
SCOTUS Appeal Filed

Supreme Court Must Slap Down Fourth Circuit’s Lawless Actions

The case involves a ban on popular semi-automatic rifles (that a handful of states erroneously call “assault weapons”). While it is unusual for parties to seek certiorari before judgment—essentially asking the Supreme Court to intervene before the Court of Appeals decides—it is justified in this circumstance because of the Fourth Circuit’s dubious procedural machinations, discussed below.

This aggressive move is good for the Second Amendment community, and it also offers the Supreme Court an opportunity to rebuke the lower “inferior” courts who are ignoring not just the text and history of the Second Amendment, but clear Supreme Court precedent.


Note: I posted this here as there isn't a 'Maryland' specific state thread (that I could find).
 
Such appeals, 'Writ of Certiorari before Judgement', are very rarely granted, making this a long shot. Still, as the author describes, this appeal lays out the issues and need very well. If cert is granted, it is likely going to result in a positive outcome for the plaintiffs.

It would immediately reshape, nationally, all bans and restrictions on all semi-automatics, as well as put all of the Circuit Courts with anti-gun cases before them, on notice as to how to address such rulings in similar cases.
