BOTH CASES LOST ON APPEAL

Petition for en banc rehearing denied in USA v. One Palmetto State Armory on June 21, 2016.  Mandate issued on June 29, 2016.

No en banc petition filed in Hollis v. Lynch.  Judgment entered and filed on June 30, 2016.

Cert Petitions are due within 90 days.

Hollis v. Lynch et al Appeal No. 15-10803

USA, et al v. One Palmetto State Armory PA 1, et al No.: 15-2859

Keep in mind that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and other circuits have already held that machine-guns are not protected under the Second Amendment.  The only chance these appeals have of being heard by SCOTUS is that the 5th and/or 3rd Circuit Courts of Appeal comes to the opposite conclusion.  Considering the 5th Circuit’s recent Second Amendment decisions, the chances of this case prevailing, even if the plaintiffs had good lawyers, is somewhere between nil and none.  Still, I hope the plaintiff prevails. UPDATE: The 3rd Circuit ruled against Palmetto.

What is particularly frustrating about these cases is that I spent many hours providing one of the plaintiff’s attorneys, Alan Beck, the long history of “dangerous and unusual” weapons cited in the Heller decision and despite all 800 years of history and case law I provided to him, Beck argues that the scope of the arms protected by the Second Amendment, and the “dangerous and unusual” doctrine—are very different.  He is wrong of course.  Integral to the concept of “dangerous and unusual” weapon is the type of weapon and if that weapon falls within the class of “dangerous and unusual” then the government can prohibit that type of weapon from being carried in public.  In English common law it was armor and for some unknown reason, a short, almost decorative spear (a launcegay).  A man could carry a far more dangerous and deadly broadsword or even a full size spear but if he carried a launcegay, he was in violation of the law.  Why?  Nobody knows.

England also had class based restrictions on weapons.  An English peasant was not allowed to carry broadswords because these were “dangerous and unusual” weapons for his social class.  And there were exceptions to the class based restrictions for example. merchants who traveled from town to town were permitted to carry broadswords.  And then there were weapons which were marketed by persons such as Da Vinci as “dangerous and unusual weapons” among these were Trebuchets (catapults) and siege towers which simply are not “bearable” arms.

Beck posits that a 17th Century English decision on dangerous and unusual weapons stands for the proposition that a type of arm cannot be a “dangerous and unusual” weapon unless the person has armed himself with a weapon and carries it in a manner to terrorize the people.  That isn’t what the court held.  The court held that privy coats of mail were not dangerous and unusual weapons and nor were other weapons commonly used.  The prohibition on wearing armor in public remained.  In fact, the original ban on wearing armor in Parliament is still on the books and has never been repealed by any subsequent legislation or court ruling.

The chances of a pair of lawyers who haven’t a clue as to what they are talking about winning a challenge to the Federal machine-gun ban is less than nil to none.

From the Hollis Complaint.

1. This is an action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from 18 U.S.C. § 922(o), 26 U.S.C. § 5801 et seq. and the implementing regulations 27 C.F.R. § 479.105(a). These statutory and regulatory provisions generally act as an unlawful de facto ban on the transfer or possession of a machine gun manufactured after May 19, 1986. By imposing such a ban on an entire class of weapons, the statutes and regulations exceed the power of the United States under Article I of the United States Constitution; violate the Second Amendment rights of the Plaintiff and all similarly situated individuals; violate the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and the United States Constitution’s principles of federalism and dual sovereignty; by arbitrarily “disapproving” an already approved Form 1, Defendants’ actions violate Plaintiff’s Fifth Amendment right to due process and is an unjust taking; and violate the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

2. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief against the unconstitutional provisions contained in 18 U.S.C. § 922(o), 26 U.S.C. § 5801 et seq . and 27 C.F.R. § 479.105(a); declaring the ban on machine guns unconstitutional under the Second, Ninth and Tenth Amendments and in violation of Article I of the United States Constitution and declaratory and injunctive relief prohibiting Defendants from unjustly taking property without Due Process.

3. In the alternative, Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief finding that 18 U.S.C. § 922(o) does not prohibit an unincorporated trust from manufacturing or possessing a machinegun manufactured after May 19, 1986 and/or that the Defendants lack the authority and are thus prohibited from revoking or denying the validity of Plaintiff’s approved tax stamp # RM34755.

This case is now fully briefed.

Oral Arguments took place before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday, April 6, 2016

*There is another machine-gun case out of the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.  Oral arguments took place in that case on Monday, April 4, 2016 (USA, et al v. One Palmetto State Armory PA 1, et al No.: 15-2859 – Here is a link to the documents in that case.  As you can see, given the three judges assigned to hear the appeal, the outcome is a foregone conclusion and since a loss by the appellants does not create a circuit split, the cert petition will be denied.

UPDATE:  The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals held that machine-guns are not protected by the Second Amendment.  Here is the decision -> Palmetto Machine-gun Decision

The oral arguments for both cases can be found in the April 5th and 6th, 2016 updates below.

Update by Charles Nichols, President of California Right To Carry – August 31, 2016 –  There has not been a cert petition filed in either case.

Update by Charles Nichols, President of California Right To Carry – August 13, 2016 –  There has not been a response requested which means that none of the judges has requested a vote on whether or not to grant the petition for en banc rehearing which was filed on July 29, 2016 in the case of Hollis v. Lynch.  This is a pretty strong indication that the petition will be denied leaving SCOTUS as the last resort.  Given that SCOTUS won’t grant semi-auto cert petitions it does not take a crystal ball to predict that SCOTUS will deny the machine-gun cert petition(s).

Update by Charles Nichols, President of California Right To Carry – April 6,  2016 –   The oral argument in this case, Hollis v. Lynch, took place today before a three judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.  Just as he did in yesterday’s oral arguments in the 3rd Circuit, the lawyer for Hollis blew it.  For one thing, the “core right” under the Second amendment is self-defense and the lawful right of self-defense has never been limited to the home.  Hollis’ lawyer said the “core right” of the Second Amendment is limited to the home.

Update by Charles Nichols, President of California Right To Carry – April 5,  2016 – Here is the audio from the Machine-gun case out of the 3rd District Palmetto State Armory which took place yesterday.  Although one can never tell for certain what the outcome of a case will be based on the oral arguments, none of the circuit judges here even tried to play devil’s advocate with the Feds and the lawyer for the plaintiff told the court that a facial challenge is one in which a law is invalid in every circumstance despite SCOTUS saying that a law does not have to be invalid in every circumstance.  If that were the case then the Heller decision would have been decided the other way because there were many applications of the laws at issue in the Heller case which were valid.  Such as the law applied to convicted felons, or to the insane, or to persons engaged in criminal activities.  Tomorrow the same pair of lawyers will get a chance to screw up arguing its case before a three judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Update by Charles Nichols, President of California Right To Carry – March 20,  2016 – The three judges assigned to hear the case will be announced on March 28th.
