This video discusses the significant legal challenge to Maryland's Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) being brought before the Supreme Court by 25 states. The core argument is that the ban infringes upon the Second Amendment rights of citizens by prohibiting firearms in 'common use,' as established in the Heller v. DC decision. The case, Bianchi v. Frosh, could have nationwide implications for gun rights if the Supreme Court declines to hear it.

Why are 25 states asking the Supreme Court to hear the Maryland AWB case?
