- The advocates called the banned guns “a class of arms typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes,” such as self-defense ... the Second Amendment should be on the same constitutional footing as the First Amendment right to free speech ... Maryland’s ban on semiautomatic assault-style weapons violates the constitutional right to bear arms because the blanket prohibition is not narrowly tailored to achieve the compelling governmental interest of public safety
- Justices will vote on May 19 and requires at least 4 votes
- Groups mounting the Supreme Court appeal include the California-based Firearms Policy Coalition, three Maryland gun owners; the Field Traders gun store in Anne Arundel County; and two Washington state based groups (Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms)
- In 2017, SCOTUS declined without comment to review Kolbe v. Hogan
