MD: Appeals court to hear arguments over constitutionality of sweeping Maryland gun-control law

A federal appeals court has set oral arguments over the constitutionality of a Maryland law banning 45 assault weapons and gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia scheduled arguments in the matter for March 24.

In court papers filed Friday, gun-rights advocates say the law violates the Second Amendment and that a federal judge in Baltimore erred when she upheld the law last summer.
 
Comment by: teebonicus (1/21/2015)
"The Second Amendment does not protect assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. It's certainly not what the framers of the Constitution intended when they drafted the Second Amendment."

That is precisely incorrect; in fact, it is the inverse of what the USSC ruled in U.S. v. Miller, which held that arms that are not in common use that "are [not] any part of the ordinary military equipment" are those not within the ambit of 2A protection.

Meaning that arms that meet those criteria ARE, de facto, WITHIN the ambit of 2a protection.

The lower and appellate courts must be shamed into rejecting the Red Queen declarations of anti-gun statists.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821)
