The rulings in Maryland and Oregon come amid a shifting legal landscape in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that has imposed new limits on gun regulation.
In the wake of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision last year that significantly limits what the government can do to restrict guns, states led by Democrats have scrambled to circumvent or test the limits of the ruling. A few have approved new gun restrictions. Oregon even passed a ballot initiative to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines.
But this week, supporters of the new gun measures suffered a pair of setbacks, underscoring the rippling effect of the court’s decision.
On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Va., ruled that a 10-year-old Maryland law related to licensing requirements for handguns was unconstitutional.
As a gun owner myself, I support the licensing, the high capacity mags ban won’t do a damn thing though. If you’ve ever seen a 10rd 556 mag it’s small as hell and you can stuff lots in pockets and such. It won’t stop a damn thing, especially with coward cops who just listen to the action and do nothing.
if that’s what it takes then fine but why can’t we come up with shit that actually makes sense instead of these ‘whatever we can get’ stuff. I realize republican trash makes that nigh impossible though. Fucking dumb as hell
All we need to do is severely restrict ammo sales to individuals. Guns are useless without rounds.
As long as people have near unlimited access to ammo, they’ll always find a different gun or magazine to use that gets around certain gun bans.
