The rulings in Maryland and Oregon come amid a shifting legal landscape in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that has imposed new limits on gun regulation.
In the wake of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision last year that significantly limits what the government can do to restrict guns, states led by Democrats have scrambled to circumvent or test the limits of the ruling. A few have approved new gun restrictions. Oregon even passed a ballot initiative to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines.
But this week, supporters of the new gun measures suffered a pair of setbacks, underscoring the rippling effect of the court’s decision.
On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Va., ruled that a 10-year-old Maryland law related to licensing requirements for handguns was unconstitutional.
By making things arbitrarily more expensive all you’re doing is making poor people not able to afford them, it’s classism.
Good idea, allot 1 mag to everyone so they don’t have enough ammo to train with their firearm and learn how to shoot it better. I’m sure having people who’ve never even fired their gun walking around will make them safer lmao.
This is kinda why most people think people should have some semblance of an idea of what they’re talking about before they attempt to tell others what to do. I don’t know much about cars, but you don’t hear me going around saying “we should ban seatbelts so everyone pays more attention and we have less wrecks.”
