What was the Fourth Circuit's decision regarding Maryland's assault weapon ban?

The Fourth Circuit panel upheld Maryland's ban, ruling that the firearms in question are 'militaristic weapons' not protected by the Second Amendment. This decision was controversial and faced strong dissents from judges who argued it contradicted the Supreme Court's Bruen ruling.

Why is Maryland requesting delays in the assault weapon ban case review?

Maryland has requested multiple delays, citing the press of other work, including matters related to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. However, opponents suggest strategic motivations, such as waiting for election outcomes or hoping for a more favorable judicial composition.

What is the significance of the Supreme Court partially granting a delay in this case?

A partial grant of delay, specifically a 13-day extension, signals that the Supreme Court views the issue as important and is likely to schedule it for conference soon.
