Olofson.  This is getting pretty off topic.  If you want to read about Olofson and what has been considered a machinegun here is a good thread I started a month or two ago.

If MGs are a right, there won't be any "states that aren't MG friendly" anymore.



If you think they'll go quietly, even after a SCOTUS ruling, you are mistaken.

If Nolo wins, there will likely be a decades-long fight to unravel the derp-tastic anti-MG laws in states like New York, California, Illinois, Connecticut, and the like.

That was Olofson.






I'm familiar with that case.
Is my recollection correct or did he have the other parts?

I don't understand how this would change STATE laws at all from a constitutional/legal perspective.

States looking to their own constitutions are a completely different battlefield.   The second amendment hasn't to my knowledge been incorporated as a whole.  

It would seem this would not have any top-down effect in that regard if the decision becomes about contemporary manufacturing and federally registering machine guns for non governmental use.

there's a great deal of potential grey area of outcomes of these cases between abject failure and a s.court dicta stating machine guns are "a right"

For the inevitable questions:




Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) states: "Except in a proceeding exempted from initial disclosure under
Rule 26(a)(1)(B) or when the court orders otherwise, the parties must confer as soon as practicable
– and in any event at least 21 days before a scheduling conference is to be held or a scheduling
order is due under Rule 16(b).”

Love #11:

11. Neither Rule 26 nor the Local Rules allow a party to litigation to refuse to participate in a
Rule 26(f) conference until after the Court rules on a Motion to Dismiss. Additionally, “Filing a
Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not automatically stay discovery or require postponing a
Rule 26(f) conference until the motion is resolved.”


Basically a "the law doesn't state that so shove it." if I read it correctly.

Since I'm in one of the federal districts where this is playing out, would it be prudent to apply for a stamp so that when I'm denied, and when all of these proceedings finally play out, I could then file a suit for equal treatment? Provided, of course, they play out in the way we want them to..

Incorrect.  NJ will continue to ignore the 2A and federal laws less restrictive than it's laws.  NJ is run by tyrants.

Good one.  

For the uninitiated, the Rule 26(f) conference is required by the rules governing federal court litigation.  Both sides get together to discuss document preservation, production, deposition scheduling, etc.  Some local district courts are quite serious about it.  For the Northern District of Texas, and many other courts, if a party thinks they are exempt from the 26(f) conference, the correct course of action is to request a postponement from the court by motion.  You can't just say "F off, we've got a pending motion to dismiss."  That would completely eliminate the 26(f) conference in most litigation, as there's almost always a pending motion to dismiss.

Here, the DOJ [/spits to the side] doesn't want to talk discovery.  They may not have instituted a document destruction hold, despite the pending litigation, and are instead waiting until the 26(f) conference to do so.  Regardless, the judge will almost certainly compel them to talk to Nolo.  Unfortunately, that may take the form of them sitting across a conference table saying, "We'll take it under advisement and get back to you."

Can't say because it depends on the decision by the judge as to what relief Hollis would get and why. Some variations:
1. There is no provision in law to revoke an approved stamp and registration (contention between "it was a mistake" and ATF correcting the error vs. Nolo showing that at least 4 different ATF employees had to give approvals for Hollis and Watson to get stamps and whatever other policies come out in discovery or Nolo already has) Hollis gets his stamp back and weapon, those other trusts not approved then sue for equal treatment and here we go again.

2. Court rules that trusts are not persons for the purposes of the Hughes amendment, and thus any trust may now make a machinegun. No laws are overturned, and things go as they did pre Hughes for trusts. 2A issues are litigated later when an individual sue to make a machinegun, directly challenging Hughes et. al.

3. Court rules that Hughes in a ban of a class of weapons, which is not permitted by the 2A. NFA items go back to the way they were pre Hughes and anyone can now form 1 and make a NFA machinegun after approval.

4. Court rules NFA and Hughes unconstitutional infringements of the 2A, applying strict scrutiny, and and no more tax stamps, machineguns, short barreled rifels, etc. are treated the same as any other firearm under law..

In case, of 3 or 4 the order would likely to be stayed, pending appeal heard by the circuit court. 1 and 2 would probably also get appealed, but the court might not stay that order ...
