Supreme Court refuses to hear challenge to Maryland assault weapons ban

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a challenge to a Maryland law that bans the sale of assault weapons such as AR-15s in the state.

The ban also applies to large capacity magazines.

Gun rights groups sued to challenge the ban, arguing that it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The high court typically does not provide the reasoning for declining a case.

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals is still considering the case named Bianchi v. Brown, 23-863.
