UNSURPRISING RULING FROM THE 4TH CIRCUIT

By Bob Walsh

To no great surprised the 4th District Court of Appeals acted yesterday to BLOCK the earlier federal ruling overturning much of the Maryland assault weapons ban.  The vote was a far from unanimous 9-6.

This is now almost certainly heading for SCOTUS.  The high court already notified the 7th District that their ruling in the matter was ruling pretty flaky.  This is, as far as I can tell, the first fully adjudicated ruling on an assault weapons ban to be ripe for SCOTUS review.

With as bit of luck come the next session we may have a reasonable and definitive ruling on this bullsht.
