The Circuit Court voted to rehear the case and reversed its earlier decision to protect Second Amendment rights. As a result, the District Court ruling in favor of upholding the Maryland law now stands.
Reaction by the National Rifle Association to the February 21 reversal was swift. Spokeswoman Jennifer Baker noted,
“It is absurd to hold that the most popular rifle in American is not an ‘arm’ under the Second Amendment.”
She asserted the Court’s majority opinion:
“. . . clearly ignores the Supreme Court’s guidance from District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects arms that are `in common use at the time for lawful purposes like self-defense.”‘
The NRA believes there are 5 to 10 million AR-15s in circulation in the United States, with all being used for lawful purposes.
UPDATE
Meanwhile, rumors are floating about a possible Executive Order by President Donald Trump in March to strike down any ban on automatic rifles by deeming them “militia rifles” protected under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
A draft EO indicates that “militia rifles” will mean firearms specifically designated as suitable for use in self-defense, community defense, defense of States and defense of the Nation.
