Plaintiffs in the case of Arie Friedman and Illinois State Rifle Association verses the City of Highland Park have filed a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court.
This is the black gun case ahead of the NYSRPA and CCDL lawsuits.

How does this case compare with ours? I do not imagine that they have amicus briefs from 22 states, and the “gravitas” of our case. Are their core arguments the same, stronger, or weaker? Maybe the 2nd circuit is stalling this long cause they want that case to go first and be done with it? So basically, is this good, bad, or indifferent to us?
I don’t know the exact details. The writ is over 200 pages long. It does reference both the SAFE suit and the Kachalsky case as well as a bunch of others.
Maybe this is important enough for u and Tom to ask our counsel for an opinion on this (and pls update us)? My very limited understanding of this process is (for the most part) you have to argue the original case, you cannot bring a new case to appeal. If this is the one that goes, I certainly hope the shit is all organzed under NRA, there was a meeting of the minds that this was the way to go, and we are all moving forward in lock step for a best effort.
I am guessing that SCOTUS will at least wait for 2nd circuit opinion if they ever hear any of these cases at all.
