@DukeFirearmsLaw So what are the actual ramifications here? It just sets a precedent in that district, right? It doesn't actually strike it down across the country until it's been appealed up to SCOTUS? Am I understanding that correctly?
@LouisIngenthron That's correct. If the government appeals, it would next be heard by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals (which covers OK, KS, NM, CO, UT, and WY)
