The rulings in Maryland and Oregon come amid a shifting legal landscape in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that has imposed new limits on gun regulation.

In the wake of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision last year that significantly limits what the government can do to restrict guns, states led by Democrats have scrambled to circumvent or test the limits of the ruling. A few have approved new gun restrictions. Oregon even passed a ballot initiative to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines.

But this week, supporters of the new gun measures suffered a pair of setbacks, underscoring the rippling effect of the court’s decision.

On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Va., ruled that a 10-year-old Maryland law related to licensing requirements for handguns was unconstitutional.

Seems to me like one is championing ending all of those rights and the other isn't.

Well you'd be wrong, sorry dude.

Yes. Both clearly seek to limit different civil liberties, and supporters of each fight about why what they want to limit isn't actually a civil liberty.

Please show me the Democratic Party's equivalent to Project 2025.

Or did you not even read it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you denying that the democrat party seeks to limit the right to bear arms? Because by being purposefully obtuse and attempting to deflect (which appears to be your typical MO), you seem to be saying that.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I know, one side seeks to regulate firearms like they were regulated for pretty much all of the 19th century and the other seeks to violate the Constitution in every way possible. No different.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess it's just a question of how much infringement on rights you support. You support "some." I do not.

[–] FlyingSquid 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You still haven't given me the equivalent plan of Project 2025 that the Democrats have. Can't imagine why...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never claimed they had one, I claimed they also are attempting to limit other rights, and this little deflection of yours is adorable but irrelevant, so yes I ignore it.

[–] FlyingSquid 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Limit" vs. "take away entirely." Interesting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Just get stabbed a few times VS get murdered." Interesting.

Lol yes clearly one is worse, but both are bad choices, you dingleberry.

[–] FlyingSquid 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And now that you've decided to resort to insults, there is no reason to continue this conversation. I am not interested in uncivil conversation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There wasn't a reason to continue when you resorted to deflection, which is all you're capable of it seems.
