LHeym500S. Ct., refuses to grant cert on magazine and state firearms bans
Rhode Island and Maryland “assault weapons” and “large magazine” ban legislation will my be reviewed by the S. Ct.
The federal circuits ruling such bans are constitutionally permissible based on “historical analogs” as identified by New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, stand as law in those federal circuits.
Funny, at least one lower court applying New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen holding bans were constitutionally permissible asked the S. Cr., to review the matter for more clarity. The S. Ct., refused.
What is real funny is this historical analogy component is being used to undermine the work post Heller and McDonald that clearly states weapons in common use cannot be banned. Good job.
