The rulings in Maryland and Oregon come amid a shifting legal landscape in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that has imposed new limits on gun regulation.

In the wake of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision last year that significantly limits what the government can do to restrict guns, states led by Democrats have scrambled to circumvent or test the limits of the ruling. A few have approved new gun restrictions. Oregon even passed a ballot initiative to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines.

But this week, supporters of the new gun measures suffered a pair of setbacks, underscoring the rippling effect of the court’s decision.

On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Va., ruled that a 10-year-old Maryland law related to licensing requirements for handguns was unconstitutional.

Yes. Both clearly seek to limit different civil liberties, and supporters of each fight about why what they want to limit isn't actually a civil liberty.

Please show me the Democratic Party's equivalent to Project 2025.

Or did you not even read it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are you denying that the democrat party seeks to limit the right to bear arms? Because by being purposefully obtuse and attempting to deflect (which appears to be your typical MO), you seem to be saying that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I know, one side seeks to regulate firearms like they were regulated for pretty much all of the 19th century and the other seeks to violate the Constitution in every way possible. No different.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I guess it's just a question of how much infringement on rights you support. You support "some." I do not.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You still haven't given me the equivalent plan of Project 2025 that the Democrats have. Can't imagine why...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I never claimed they had one, I claimed they also are attempting to limit other rights, and this little deflection of yours is adorable but irrelevant, so yes I ignore it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"Limit" vs. "take away entirely." Interesting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"Just get stabbed a few times VS get murdered." Interesting.

Lol yes clearly one is worse, but both are bad choices, you dingleberry.

And now that you've decided to resort to insults, there is no reason to continue this conversation. I am not interested in uncivil conversation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

There wasn't a reason to continue when you resorted to deflection, which is all you're capable of it seems.
