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.
I’m not talking about making rounds more expensive. I’m talking about literally restricting the number of rounds a person is allowed to buy per year.
If you thought about it for 1 second, you’d realize that for training, you can allow as many rounds as someone wants as long as they’re at an approved shooting range where rounds are closely monitored.
Nobody should be allowed to purchase a firearm without supervised training. Shooting at tin cans in your backyard isn’t proper training.
This isn’t complicated stuff.
Got it, knew we’d get back to no guns for poor people.
