Protecting Maryland’s restrictions on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.
Court: Fourth Circuit
Issue at Stake: Assault weapons; Large-capacity magazines
Summary: On February 25, 2016, Everytown filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to urge the full court to reconsider a dangerous decision by a three-judge panel which would have subjected a Maryland gun law to the most rigorous form of judicial scrutiny and threatened legislators’ ability to adopt gun laws they believe necessary to protect public safety. On March 4, 2016, the full court agreed to rehear the case.
On April 18, 2016, Everytown filed an additional amicus brief in the Fourth Circuit to urge the full court to correct several errors made by the three-judge panel that had previously struck down a Maryland law that regulated certain semiautomatic long guns and large-capacity magazines, and to explain why Maryland’s law comports with the Second Amendment.
