Federal Court Quietly Lays Groundwork To Dismantle 2nd Amendment

In a 10-4 ruling, the federal court ruled that the state of Maryland's ban on 45 different "assault" weapons and its 10-round limit for magazines was not a violation of the citizens' constitutional rights.

But the ruling was not without substantial dissent.

"Put simply, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war," Judge Robert King wrote for the court, adding that the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller explicitly excluded such coverage, according to NBC.

"It's unthinkable that these weapons of war, weapons that caused the carnage in Newtown and in other communities across the country, would be protected by the Second Amendment," Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, who spearheaded the movement, said.
