from: http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Appeals-Court-to-Hear-Arguments-on-Maryland-Gun-Control-Law-289185621.html

A federal appeals court has set oral arguments over the constitutionality of a Maryland law banning 45 assault weapons and gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia scheduled arguments in the matter for March 24.

In court papers filed Friday, gun-rights advocates say the law violates the Second Amendment and that a federal judge in Baltimore erred when she upheld the law last summer.
Brian Frosh, Maryland's newly sworn-in attorney general and chief sponsor of the law while a state senator, said Monday that the law passes constitutional muster to protect public safety.

"I think this is a common-sense test,'' Frosh told The Daily Record. "The Second Amendment does not protect assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. It's certainly
not what the framers of the Constitution intended when they drafted the Second Amendment.''

The law bans 45 assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Maryland lawmakers approved the sweeping legislation in 2013 in response
to the December 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The shooting left 20 children and six educators dead, and became a rallying point for gun-control efforts.

I get so tired of seeing these drag on forever.
SCOTUS needs to step up & rule that it is a guaranteed right that cannot be infringed in any way just like it is written.
Make it settled law that any bans on firearms, ammo, magazines, or permit restrictions are unconstitutional so that the courts time & billions of taxpayer dollars are no longer wasted on this nonsense.

Reminds me of Charles Schumer, 13 years before the DC v. Heller decision:

"Like flat earth fanatics, Second Amendment fanatics just don't get it. Facts are facts. The earth is not flat. And Constitutional law is Constitutional law. The Second Amendment is not absolute. It does not guarantee the mythical individual right to bear arms we will hear argued for today. The gun lobby and its friends in Congress can line up professors of history and law from here to NRA headquarters and back. They can all swear what they think the Second Amendment means, and how many angels can dance on a pinhead. But the settled law is flatly against them."

Lol

The framers could have never imagined the Internet either, yet here we are...

Actually, I'm sure they had a pretty good idea that firearms technology was evolving.

Well both intermediate and strict scrutiny review include a review of a state's reasons for infringing a right -- public safety being one such reason or "need" or motivating factor.  The constitution doesn't mention it but neither does it mention judicial review.  They are both part of our common law as it has evolved over centuries of jurisprudence.

We need to create a new state called "Hellhole", where we combine those two counties in MD with Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria in VA. It would solve so many problems.

I would point out that the 2nd Amendment is the only amendment to include the terms "shall not" and "infringe."  Which IMO is stricter language than "make no law."  I would also point out that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was the right of the people to overthrow a bad government, which will always pose a safety risk to the government, but is still the right of the people.

I swear, whenever a politician from EITHER side of the aisle says "common sense", I immediately discount whatever they are saying and hear "My opinion counts more than yours so I'm going to violate the law in order to force my agenda down your throat."

Do they teach politicians to say that when they go to politician training?   It's like the first rule they learn.   "If you want to spout bullshit, just call it common sense, whether it is or not."

Retards.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Circuit has been all progged up to the point that it rivals the Nutty Ninth.  If you were able to reassemble the Fourth of forty years ago, this would be a tap-in win.  Now, it's a waste of time, except as a necessary step to get a chance to file a writ.
