20. More than just two circuits....

so far the 2nd Circuit, 3rd Circuit, and 4th Circuit have come down in support of "sufficient/good cause" requirements; while the 6th Circuit, 7th Circuit, 10th - and in Peruta v. San Diego County the 9th Circuit - have come down as opposed to such requirements.

There's no way the USSC can not get involved - especially after reading the decision in Peruta where Judge O'Scannlain went so far out of his way in calling out what he saw as the 2-4th Circuits' lazy and willful misreading of the SCOTUS' rulings in Heller v. District of Columbia and McDonald v. City of Chicago rulings.

What's surprising is that the 4th Circuit, 5th Circuit, and 11th Circuit Courts of Appeal have remained silent.
