ICYMI: 4th Circuit struck down Maryland’s unconstitutional handgun law. We have a God-given right to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. This protects us from government. Whether tyranny. Or breakdown—and mob rule. Judges matter. – Mike Davis

- Great news! Maryland’s legislature passed an unconstitutional law, Governor Wes Moore signed it, and now Attorney General Anthony G. Brown is trying to defend this violation of our 2nd Amendment rights. Thankfully, the courts have declared it unconstitutional and unenforceable. – Neil Parrott
- This decision overturns an unconstitutional law, passed by the Maryland legislature, supported by Governor Wes Moore, and defended by Attorney General Anthony G. Brown. The courts have rightfully declared it unenforceable. It could impact licensing laws in about 14 other states. This is a victory for our 2nd Amendment rights. – Chris Palombi
- The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a Maryland law requiring potential handgun owners to go through a qualification process, saying the law is unconstitutional. – Fox Baltimore
- The 4th Circuit says Maryland violated the Second Amendment by requiring handgun buyers to obtain a “qualification license,” a process that takes up to a month. – Jacob Sullum
- Great news out of the Fourth Circut Court of Appeals! Maryland’s Licensing scheme is Unconstitutional! The challenged law restricts the ability of law-abiding adult citizens to possess handguns, and the state has not presented a historical analogue that justifies its restriction; indeed, it has seemingly admitted that it couldn’t find one. Under the Supreme Court’s new burden-shifting test for these claims, Maryland’s law thus fails, and we must enjoin its enforcement. So we reverse the district court’s contrary decision. The MA gun control licensing days are numbered. This is why they are so desperate to pass any and all legislation. To jam up the courts…it is time for Title 18 USC section 242! Let’s see the tyrants held accountable for their dereliction of duty and malfeasance. – Cape Gun Works
