Appeals court deals blow to Maryland gun control law

[miles]

This will end up in the Supreme Court.
------------------------------------------------------------
A federal appeals court dealt a potentially serious blow to Maryland's landmark 2013 gun control law and similar measures across the country, ruling Tuesday that a lower court was wrong when it upheld the state's ban on assault rifles.

In a 2-1 decision applauded by gun rights advocates, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit concluded that the semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity magazines banned by Maryland's Firearm Safety Act "are in common use by law-abiding citizens." As a result, they don't fall under the exception to the right to bear arms that applies to "unusual" weapons such as machine guns and hand grenades, the court said.

Assault rifle is a dog-whistle for a scary looking gun and nothing more.



All civilian models are one trigger pull, one round.

They are not "assault" rifles.

I just learned this morning that 2/3 of all gun deaths are suicides. A miniscule number of murders were committed with rifles. These are CDC and FBI statistics.


Facts are stubborn things.

They can be modified fairly easily. That's illegal of course, but...

This is going the way it always goes. The Government-starting with liar in chief-makes some noise about guns-and fake tears(most likely thinking about the fact he couldn't go golfing that day) and people think okay, something will be done.

The gun people get in an uproar and start buying more guns and ammo 'while they can' then in the end, oops, nothing, but nice shot in the arm for economy, sales are sales.

The current gun laws are good laws, but they suffer as many laws do and that's through the people enforcing them being to lazy to do so.

Don't even need to modify them.

I purchased a legal device that fits on my AK and my AR that rotates and turns your scary-looking gun into a fully automatic weapon.



Even works on my Saiga 12-gauge, but it will put you on your back...

You should probably read the article's content and not just the headline, Skippy.

I've mentioned that several times here. I'm pretty sure others have as well.

Go ahead and stock up on illegal accessories. When you're caught with them, they will also take away all of your legal guns.

If whiny old ladies like you had your way all legal guns would be taken away. Then you'd have to find something else to crusade about.

The device is legal, the effect is not, its a loophole.

I don't need anything that fires that fast. I used to place in competitions all the time. I only need one shot.

But I'd only use that as a mercy killing after my two dogs have been chewing on the idiot who broke into my house for awhile.

Oh, like telling you to eat your vegetables?

With his family, that'd be cannibalism.

Better than what your old lady tells you to eat, cuck.

At least my family took me to the dentist. Could kick a field goal through the gap in your fucked up teeth.

Stealing a lame eeyore joke is scraping the bottom. Kinda like where your coloring book store went.

I just got it because it was still legal to do so.



Just like the big 50-round drums I got for my Saiga...

I know what you're talking about, and I also know that you're probably inventing that you have it, since I know for a fact that it wouldn't fit on all 3 weapons.


It's not full auto, it's called "bump fire" and if you tried to do it anywhere outside of a range situation, it wouldn't work very well at all.

They're not illegal, they're just stupid gimmicks for people who are too lazy or broke to fill out a Class 3 form.
