The 4th Circuit Court ruled that military-style weapons are designed for sustained combat operations, not self-defense, so are not protected by the Second Amendment.
The decision upholding Maryland's ban on assault-style weapons is seen as fitting within the nation's tradition of firearms regulation for excessively dangerous weapons.
The U.S. Supreme Court emphasized evaluating gun regulations based on the Second Amendment's text and historical tradition, unlike the Maryland law upheld by the 4th Circuit.
