| | | | | The Political Shift | Supreme Court Declines to Hear Appeals on State Assault Weapon and Magazine Bans | | The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear challenges to assault weapon and high-capacity magazine bans in Maryland and Rhode Island, allowing lower court rulings that upheld the laws to remain in place. Maryland's law, enacted in 2013, bans certain semiautomatic rifles like the AR-15, while Rhode Island's 2022 law limits magazine capacities to 10 rounds. Gun rights advocates argued these restrictions violate the Second Amendment, but appellate courts ruled the states had the authority to regulate weapons associated with mass shootings and not essential for self-defense. | Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented, saying the Court should have reviewed the cases to clarify constitutional boundaries following the 2022 Bruen decision. Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed with the decision not to hear the cases but suggested the Court may revisit the issue soon. For now, the rulings support states' ability to enforce stricter gun control measures despite ongoing national debates over firearm rights. | |
