GOP blocks HPA & SHORT

[Loc]

Well I'm just thinking a little strategically, but FPC should file in an anti-2A district in order to get the needed circuit split to force SCOTUS to fast track things? I mean, if GOA is doing North TX, then FPC should do maybe 7th or 4th , or whichever has a track record of going against 2A quickly, not the 9th because those people tend to want to delay delay delay....

Edit once you have a circuit split on a 2A case, the odds are far better for SCOTUS to make a judgement call or some such, especially if one district rules that govt can require registering weapons without taxation authority, and the other rules govt cannot....

Excellent point on strategy.

Generators don't have to comply with the same regulations as traction engines, but that would be Tesla stealing Edisons ideas.

Yet. They don't have to yet. California is trying (succeeding?) to ban everything that is an ICE that has any kind of "bad" emissions, especially diesels and including gensets.

Anyway, that is an interesting take on Edison - I've been following them, and I did not think of their hybrid (kind of) setup that way (hybrid in the sense of how they charge their battery pack). It would be interesting to see what the EPA and state DEQs/et. al. think of that approach - especially Calif. I guess it makes sense - but we are talking governments here, and they don't always make sense - plus they change their minds often.

If I were to have the budget to go that route, it would be Edison, but they still have a LOT of electronics and I do strongly prefer my mechanical only diesel trucks that have minimal (eventually to be none) electronics.

I don't think we need to go looking for a court that will rule against the plaintiff on this issue; I suspect most district courts will - at one level or another.

The problem is if they both file in pro-2A Districts, and win in both districts, but no lawsuits in other districts where they could "lose"; it wouldn't signal a circuit split to the SCOTUS. (See the AWBs and mag ban cases so far, denied cert)

Edit. The lack of a circuit split regarding 2A cases would mean that SCOTUS wouldn't be forced or be more interested in ruling on the matter of the 2A as applied to the various laws
