Case Number: T-905-20
Filed: August 11, 2020
The hearings started on Tuesday, April 11th, and are expected to finish up next week. Given that these cases cover essentially the same material, they’ll all be decided together.
So far, the Applicants have been focusing on a few concepts: (a) definitions of words are vague or missing; and (b) the choices of which firearms to prohibit are not consistent or logical.
For anyone interesting in searching the case histories, or to order more documents, the information is available for Federal cases.
Expect and update soon with attached documents.
