The Supreme Court turned away an appeal by a group of gun-rights advocates seeking to overturn Maryland's ban on AR-15 semi-automatic rifles under the Second Amendment.

The Supreme Court on Monday turned away an appeal by a group of gun rights advocates seeking to overturn Maryland’s ban on assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines under the Second Amendment.

The decision, a major win for gun safety advocates, leaves in place a ruling by the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals which ruled that the state may constitutionally prohibit sale and possession of the weapons.

The state legislation, enacted in 2013 after the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, specifically targets the AR-15 – the most popular rifle in America with 20-30 million in circulation. They are legal in 41 of the 50 states.

    Making a claim stating I have “wrong points” while making a bunch of false claims and for some reason bragging about video games, doesn’t mean you are correct in anything you said.

    Please go get shot in the face by bird shot from 100 yards and report back to us.

    Please also stop comparing real guns to video games.

    I also don’t know where you got “three” from, but it’s pretty clear you are delusional and live outside reality.

    Is this you? You claim to have zero experience with shotguns, and yet here you are trying to be a subject matter expert. https://lemmy.world/post/27230270

        By the time it reaches 100m it’s already traveled 2-3 times it’s effective range and at that point is moving slow enough to be as effective as throwing a handful of small pebbles. Seriously do fuck off with your make believe knowledge.

      Zero experience USING shotguns doesn’t mean I don’t know ranges of weapons. Beyond 50m a pistol is essentially worthless. I qualified expert on the US army on the M9. I feel that is enough relevant experience to know that a fucking shotgun has less range than a pistol. Quit trying to go through my shit for some kind of gotcha when it doesn’t exist. It’s shameful that you went to such effort for such little result and still acted like you made some point with it. Put at least one round downrange before you say something about it.

      Edit: also, you were the one who mentioned video games first, not I.
