Gun-Rights Group Urges Supreme Court To Hear Maryland AWB Challenge
The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) on Wednesday filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court urging the court to hear its lawsuit challenging Maryland’s ban on many common semi-automatic firearms.
In the case Snope v. Brown, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on August 6 that Maryland’s so-called “assault weapons” ban was constitutional under the Second Amendment, a decision that FPC believes was flawed. Plaintiffs in the case included two individuals, the FPC, the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
