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.

    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.
