The Supreme Court on Monday turned away an appeal by a group of gun rights advocates seeking to overturn Maryland’s ban on assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines under the Second Amendment.
The decision, a major win for gun safety advocates, leaves in place a ruling by the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals which ruled that the state may constitutionally prohibit sale and possession of the weapons.
The state legislation, enacted in 2013 after the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, specifically targets the AR-15 – the most popular rifle in America with 20-30 million in circulation. They are legal in 41 of the 50 states.
Lese mass killing guns in the U.S. is good. Unless you support killing kids for your ideology.
The kinds of people who do mass killings have parents and grandparents who already have these kinds of guns. They’ll pass em down to their kids too. It more stops new purchases, like people who are trying to defend themselves from the first group of people I described.
If you would ban a specific kind of gun you should introduce a good way for people to get rid of the guns. Australia did this by using a gun buyback program.
America has gun buybacks too, fairly regularly too. There’s still more guns than people in the country.
That’s cope bullshit.
Sure buddy.
I think he’s referring to the fact that our government is looking more authoritarian. Ok, it is, it just is now.
Guns arent the issue. The issue is that we do absolutely nothing about mental health here. But sure lets take away guns because thats easier to do than actually putting in work to improve our society.
That is a real head in the sand point if view. Guns are definitely an issue.
Ah yes “guns don’t kill people, people do”
