Supreme Court upholds Maryland's assault-style rifle ban and signals upcoming decision on AR-15 restrictions
Originally Published 7 months ago — by The Washington Post
The Supreme Court declined to review cases challenging Maryland’s ban on assault-style rifles and Rhode Island’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines, leaving these laws in place. The decision reflects ongoing divisions among justices on gun rights, with some emphasizing the importance of addressing the legality of such bans in future cases. The laws were enacted in response to mass shootings, and the Court's decision aligns with recent rulings that uphold certain gun restrictions under the Second Amendment.
