Videos tagged with Maryland Gun Ban

This video discusses a petition filed with the U.S. Supreme Court by Maryland residents, supported by the NRA, to review the state's ban on certain semi-automatic rifles and standard capacity magazines. The petition argues that the Fourth Circuit's ruling contradicts the Supreme Court's Heller decision, which affirmed the right to self-defense. The case, Colby v. Hogan, specifically challenges the classification of popular rifles like AR-15s and AK-47s, as well as magazines holding more than ten rounds, as outside Second Amendment protections.

The US Court of Appeals has remanded a Maryland gun ban case back to the lower court. This decision challenges the state's ban on 'assault style weapons' and magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The appellate court's ruling suggests citizens have an inherent right to own semi-automatic rifles and that limiting magazine capacity is illegal, as firearms are designed to accept more rounds.
