Federal court to hear arguments on Maryland gun-control law
BALTIMORE (AP) — A federal appeals court has set oral
arguments over the constitutionality of a Maryland law banning 45
assault weapons and high-capacity gun magazines.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals scheduled arguments in the matter for March 24.
In a filing 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, tells The Daily Record (http://bit.ly/1KXIHHr ) that the law passes constitutional muster to protect public safety.
The law bans 45 assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Maryland
lawmakers approved the sweeping legislation in 2013 in response to the
December 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut.
