SCOTUS declines to hear challenge to Maryland's assault weapons ban

Video Description

In a move that leaves Maryland’s assault weapons ban in place, the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to the law, over objections from Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas. The 4th Circuit previously upheld the ban, ruling it aligned with the Second Amendment under the Court’s own history-based test. On #MorningJoe, Joe Scarborough noted the Court’s pattern of allowing states to regulate military-style weapons: “If the people of Maryland want to ban AR-15s, they have that right.” For more context and news coverage of the most important stories of our day click here: https://www.msnbc.com/ » Subscribe to MSNBC: https://www.youtube.com/msnbc » Subscribe to MSNBC on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@msnbc » Subscribe to MSNBC on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/msnbc Download our new MSNBC app for the latest breaking news and daily headlines at a glance: https://www.msnbc.com/information/download-msnbc-app-n1241692 Follow MSNBC Show Blogs MaddowBlog: https://www.msnbc.com/maddowblog MSNBC delivers breaking news, in-depth analysis of political headlines, commentary and informed perspectives.
