Anti Gun Group Files Briefs Against Firearms Freedom Act

Anti Gun Group Files Briefs Against Firearms Freedom Act
Along with Federal Government briefs in MSSA v. Holder.

Washington, DC –-(Ammoland.com)- Two briefs have just been submitted in our lawsuit, MSSA v. Holder, to validate the Montana Firearms Freedom Act. Both briefs are from entities opposing the MFFA validation, and both concerning the pending U.S. Motion to Dismiss.

The first brief is from the U.S. (Department of Justice on behalf of Defendant U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder), and is their reply to our brief opposing the MtD.

The second is an amicus brief from the Brady Center (taking the U.S., gun control, side of course).

Both of these briefs are now posted and may be viewed at: https://tiny.cc/ffa2a

We will have 14 days to reply to the brief of the Brady Center. Then we will learn if the judge in the case wants oral arguments concerning the Motion to Dismiss. If there is no oral argument, or after that if there is, the court will rule on the U.S. Motion to Dismiss, likely within about 60 days. If the MtD is denied, the lawsuit will go to trial, currently scheduled for December (including plenty of pre-trial activity). If the MtD is granted, it will go to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on appeal.

Stay tuned …
