Blue state’s gun control law ruled unconstitutional

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Maryland’s handgun licensing law Tuesday, as the court determined that the blue state’s gun control measure was in violation of the Second Amendment.

Current Maryland law forces individuals interested in purchasing a handgun to first obtain a “handgun qualification license, which requires residents to complete a four-hour firearm safety instruction class, complete a background investigation, and wait up to 30 days, according to The Daily Caller.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state’s law is not “consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation,” which is the precedent the Supreme Court established in the recent New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen ruling.
