Maryland bans assault rifles

Heller:

“Some general knowledge of firearms is important to the public welfare; because it would be impossible, in case of war, to organize promptly an efficient force of volunteers unless the people had some familiarity with weapons of war. The Constitution secures the right of the people to keep and bear arms. No doubt, a citizen who keeps a gun or pistol under judicious precautions, practices in safe places the use of it, and in due time teaches his sons to do the same, exercises his individual right. "

.....

Heller also discusses that it is permissible to ban guns not ordinarily used for lawful purposes, such as a sawed off shotgun,however guns ordinarily used for lawful purposes cannot be banned.

The Ar-15 is ordinarily used for lawful purposes.

The case will be overturned.
 
This is how kids in Russia are brought up. It really is all about how one is raised, not what laws are passed.

“dangerous and unusual weapons” not in common use at the time, such as M-16 rifles and other firearms that are most useful in military service. - - - Heller

The AR-15 is in common usage and is not unusual and it not the most useful for the military.

Dumber loses again.
 
Firstly gun banning or stricter legislation is not necessarily going to significantly reduce or diminish non-firearm related crimes. The primary purpose is too limit and reduce firearm related offences.

Rates may be increasing but a clear correlation can be made....of the 343 homicides in 2017 in Baltimore alone 88% were firearm related. 97% of this 88% was with a handgun. Legislation pertaining to handguns is a lot more lenient. Thus trying to correlate banning assault weapons and handgun crime is not entirely accurate. Additionally you cannot simply limit it to Baltimore, Maryland consists of a number of other areas.

Why do you think they banned assault rifles, instead of attempting to do something about hand guns?

I’ll bite ... Because it was politically expedient at that moment in our history. And when it is more politically expedient to ban handguns they’ll be next.
 
One applied to DC, which is a very different scenario than the one applied to Chicago.

Sure as shit, Einstein. Do you want me to quote Scalia again, halfwit? Because, what he said in the majority opinion and what Maryland is doing are completely consistent.

Doesn't it just suck for you guys that you are getting infringed? Does it hurt? Perhaps a little Anal-Lube will take that pain away.

Well, without delving more deeply into the actual legislation, probably because (in keeping with Heller) handguns are more in the realm of a weapon in the home for traditional DEFENSIVE purposes. The AR platform is an OFFENSIVE weapon. Which one do you sleep with under your pillow, Rambutt, a handgun or an assault rifle?

The AR is used as a defense purpose. Anyway, that isn't the law moron. It has not be commonly used for legal purposes , defense is not relevant.

Illiterate troll.

Neither. A firearm under a pillow would be both irresponsible and unsafe. And very, very uncomfortable.
