The entire 4th circuit court of Appeals has ruled that the AR-15 is a “weapon of war” and is not protected by the Second Amendment. Shit is about to get spicy. Don’t count on the courts to stave this off.

I know.

Yes, apparently from 2017. Does anyone know if the ban has had subsequent challenge or review?

It has not. That is why Maryland’s AWB still stands.

“Today the Supreme Court invoked “national security” to consummate the immunization of federal agents from liability for violating the Constitution. Many people are likely unaware that if a federal agent illegally barges into your house, you have essentially no recourse”
As someone who’s not from the US, that sounds like a really bad idea, if it’s true. A little thing like ruling AR15 is a weapon of war doesn’t matter in that case.

Oddly enough, I already had scheduled a post on that for this morning.

How interesting, US vs. Miller says only the ownership of military-type weapons appropriate for use in an organized militia aren’t protected.
