The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges upheld Maryland's ban on military-style firearms, rejecting the argument that it is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.
Maryland's gun-control law was passed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, banning firearms like the AR-15 and AK-47, along with limiting gun magazines to 10 rounds.
The Firearms Policy Coalition Inc. plans to seek Supreme Court review, aiming to end all bans on 'assault weapons' nationwide according to coalition president Brandon Combs.
Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III stated that Maryland's ban falls outside Second Amendment protection, as these firearms are designed for combat and are disproportionate to self-defense needs, fitting within the tradition of U.S. firearms regulation.
