Fourth Circuit Upholds Maryland's Assault Weapons Ban in 10-5 Vote in Bianchi v. Brown

The en banc Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Maryland's ban on semiautomatic assault-style rifles and large-capacity magazines, ruling it constitutional by a 10-5 vote in Bianchi v. Brown. This decision reaffirms Maryland's commitment to gun safety laws, originally enacted in response to the Sandy Hook massacre. The ruling comes despite a 2022 Supreme Court decision that expanded gun rights, and it may prompt further review by the Supreme Court.
