Fox News: Supreme Court makes decision on gun law challenges in Delaware, Maryland
The Supreme Court declined to hear challenges to gun laws in Delaware and Maryland, allowing both states to maintain their restrictions on assault-style rifles and handgun licensing requirements. The laws include a ban on certain semi-automatic weapons and mandate safety training and background checks for handgun purchases.
Gun advocacy groups argued these laws infringe on Second Amendment rights, but the Court's decision leaves the state regulations intact. The Delaware law was enacted in 2022 following the Sandy Hook shooting, while Maryland's requirements were upheld after a previous ruling that expanded gun rights.
