The United States Supreme Court denied certiorari for the Snope v. Maryland case. This means the Court chose not to hear the case, effectively allowing the lower court's ruling, which upheld Maryland's assault weapons ban, to stand for the time being.

Which Supreme Court justices dissented in the denial of certiorari for Snope v. Maryland?

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch were in favor of granting certiorari to hear the Snope v. Maryland case. Justice Thomas filed a notable dissent, arguing strongly in favor of Second Amendment protections for commonly used firearms like the AR-15.

What is Justice Kavanaugh's stance on future assault weapons ban cases?

Justice Kavanaugh indicated that the Supreme Court will likely hear an assault weapons ban case in the future, but suggested a preference for waiting until more circuit courts have ruled on similar issues. He believes more legal precedent needs to be established before the Supreme Court weighs in.

Why are AR-15s considered 'in common use' according to Second Amendment arguments?

Arguments presented in cases like Snope v. Maryland cite that 20-30 million AR-15s are legally owned by Americans and are legal in 41 states. This widespread ownership and legality are used to argue that AR-15s are 'arms in common use' for lawful purposes, protected by the Second Amendment under Heller.
