In a sharply split, 2-1 decision, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has held that Maryland may ban the possession of "Rapid Fire Trigger Activators" by existing owners without paying just compensation under Fifth Amendment or the Maryland Constitution. The majority ruled that no just compensation was owed to existing, lawful owners because the ban “does not require owners of rapid fire trigger activators to turn them over to the Government or to a third party.” In short, as far as this majority is concerned, the State is free to ban the possession of any personal property without paying just compensation unless the State puts the property into its own pocket or the pocket of a third party. If that is the law, then no personal property, of any kind, is safe from the grasping clutches of the General Assembly. For example, the State could ban possession of your existing car and not pay a dime. The dissenting opinion ably demolishes the majority's reasoning. Needless to say, we will be seeking further review. You can read the ruling HERE. Stay tuned.

You can ban all you want. Keeping mine.
Now is when we need it the most. Does the lawyer couple that were home enjoying a day come to mind? They were threaten harm by a mob of savages.
Ban all you want, when you come for the guns I got nothing but 30 round mags for you.
Also I'll be the one to appeal to the united states supreme court on behalf of felons being forced to pay taxes without voting rights which is taxation without representation and felons are not immune to violence and have a 2nd amendment right to bear arms and protect themselves.
They can no more do either than they can take away your right to free speech.
Stick MD statutory law right up your rear because I know youll back down before it goes that far and avoid risking having your law tore down Just like New York did. However in doing so I will show all the felons exactly how to handle these unconstitutional applications of law.
Deprive me of liberty behind color of law and I will make as public a spectacle as possible along with going to door to door if necessary to see the laws changed. If the incompetent BLM can create such a dynamic political situation wait until I start coalescing these persecuted people and pooling their resources.
Yes, I want to watch it burn.
