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.

    This a stupid argument. The right isn’t to just have guns.

    It’s to have guns whilst being a member of a militia that trains regularly and only for the purpose of protecting state security.

    That’s literally what the text says.

    All that extra shit you are adding to the right is stuff made up by charlatans. And I guess it worked, because they sure fooled you.

      Have you read the constitution? It literally does not say it’s only for the purpose of protecting the state

      The problem with the world today is that we have illiterates like you voting.

      • I’m an attorney so I think you’re basically illiterate in comparison. Why don’t you go read it again, you absolute donkey. Tell us all why a militia is even necessary in the eyes of the framers. The text on this could not be more clear.
