The Supreme Court on Monday turned away an appeal by a group of gun rights advocates seeking to overturn Maryland’s ban on assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines under the Second Amendment.

The decision, a major win for gun safety advocates, leaves in place a ruling by the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals which ruled that the state may constitutionally prohibit sale and possession of the weapons.

The state legislation, enacted in 2013 after the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, specifically targets the AR-15 – the most popular rifle in America with 20-30 million in circulation. They are legal in 41 of the 50 states.

        You remind me of the guy that I bought a boat outdrive from. Several months later he threatened to shoot me if I didn’t forget his address. He didn’t know where i lived but randomly responded to me. Meth head behavior.

          Odd, that’s the second time you’ve insinuated I’m a meth head - either you know too many meth heads or you’ve never met one to begin with.

          Like I said, grab that net gun - you can get 'em for about 500 bucks. Otherwise, do shut the fuck up.

            I do live rural so see lots of methed out people. The randomness of your reasoning and arguing with a ghost are both signs of meth use. Either that or mental health issues.

              Imagine calling me a meth head or mentally ill when you’re doing mental gymnastics.

              Guess you just couldn’t avoid the dipshit radiation, could ya? Tends to happen when you’re isolated. Shame.

                This is exactly how meth heads act lol. Throwing around words they think about the argument and rambling.

                  Says the guy who, in this very thread, downplayed drones against ar-15s.

                  If that’s being a meth head then I’d rather be that than whatever the fuck you are.

            Only an idiot wouldn’t have seen drone warfare coming a decade ago. It’s sad it took you so long to figure it out.

              Oh, now drones are a legitimate problem to you.

              God damn, go fuck yourself. I’ve got you tagged as an actual fascist, your bad faith arguments and hypocrisy prove me right.

                I tagged you a while ago. Only an idiot would label me as a fascist, because you have deep misunderstanding of the word.

                  Again, you’re the dipshit saying ar-15s are a bigger problem.

                  Oohh, wait - you’re going to move the goalposts again. Right.
