Parsons v. Colt (NV Supreme Court, liability): Respondents’ answer to petition for rehearing
"Instead of attempting to demonstrate a flaw in this Court’s analysis, the Petition instead focuses on arguing why the holding is purportedly poor public policy." caseinfo.nvsupremecourt.us/public/caseVie…
"This same flaw plagued much of the Parsonses’ underlying briefing."
"Specifically, the Petition asserts that this 'Court’s decision rewards and encourages illegal sales of machine guns[.]'"
"Instead, the severity of the Orders’ burden warrants strict scrutiny—which the Orders fail to satisfy because they are not the least restrictive means to further Appellees’ interest, especially when compared to businesses that... were allowed to remain open."
"Instead, the Orders’ severe burden on the core of the Second Amendment right warrants strict scrutiny. And because the Orders are not the least restrictive means available, they fail to satisfy strict scrutiny’s high standard."
