Nearly a decade of carefully planned effort to challenge federal Commerce Clause power will see another landmark on Monday, March 4th, when MSSA v. Holder has oral argument before the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Portland, Oregon. MSSA in the case caption is the Montana Shooting Sports Association whose President, Gary Marbut, crafted the original Montana Firearms Freedom Act (MFFA) in 2004 specifically to lay the groundwork for this current litigation.
This could be a very big deal. The expectation is that the 9th Circuit, which is notoriously liberal in its rulings, will rule against them, which sets up a confrontation before the Supreme Court, possibly later this year.

I think they officially changed their name to the "Ninth Circus Court" some years ago.

I remember that. They had to get the approval of the Supreme Court for the name change. Keagan wrote for the Majority. No decenters. I am 63 & never remember a "no decent" decission.
