Maryland's assault-weapons ban will stand after the U.S. Supreme Court, which has avoided major gun cases for seven years, declined on Monday to hear a challenge backed by the National Rifle Association.
The state's 2013 ban on assault weapons was enacted after the Sandy Hook school massacre, Reuters reported.
The court turned away an appeal by several Maryland residents, firearms dealers and the state NRA association, who argued that the ban violated their right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment.
The justices sidestepped the roiling national debate over the availability of military-style guns to the public.

ReplyDeleteWhere is Hogan on the 2nd Amendment? He bragged about being so pro-2nd Amendment during the elections. Then he was elected and refuses to address the 2nd Amendment. He went and hid under a rock. Typical Politian lies to get elected then abandons his promises.
ReplyDeleteThe article should say military "Looking" guns.
ReplyDeleteThe libtards in Maryland government have decided that if a gun is scary enough looking they should be banned.
Makes me happy I got my AR-15 just before the ban....
ReplyDeleteAnd in Baltimore no one gets shot with an AR its a bunch of pistols. You could stack all the deaths in Chicago and Baltimore in comparison to the deaths with a semi auto rifle and it would seem silly to the two so this isn't about deaths. An AR is your best home defense weapon, its why the government doesn't want you to have it.
