One of the fastest growing high school sports in America involves guns and ammo
Maryland State Police will continue enforcing the state's handgun law for now, despite a federal appeals court ruling that the licensing requirement is unconstitutional.
"At this time, the HQL law remains in effect and there are no immediate changes in the process to purchase a firearm in Maryland," the department wrote in an agency-wide advisory after last week's ruling.

GUNS AND AMMO: ONE OF AMERICA'S FASTEST GROWING HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS HAS 'NO BENCHWARMERS'
Maryland's Handgun Qualification License (HQL) requires applicants to submit fingerprints for a background check, take a four-hour firearm safety course with a live fire component, and wait up to 30 days for approval before purchasing a handgun, which then requires another application and seven-day waiting period.
Last Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the law is overly "burdensome" and cannot stand under the 2022 landmark Supreme Court decision that a firearm regulation is unconstitutional unless the government can prove it is consistent with the nation's historical tradition.
WHY GUN OWNERSHIP IS SPIKING AMONG THIS DEMOGRAPHIC

"The challenged law restricts the ability of law-abiding adult citizens to possess handguns, and the state has not presented a historical analogue that justifies its restriction; indeed, it has seemingly admitted that it couldn’t find one," Judge Julius Richardson, a Trump appointee, wrote in the court's majority opinion. But the Maryland State Police's licensing division said it will continue enforcing the law until the federal court issues a mandate.

(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) JUDGE BLOCKS AMERICA'S 'MOST EXTREME' GUN CONTROL LAW, BUT BLUE STATE PLANS TO APPEAL Maryland officials have 14 days to file for a rehearing before the full appeals court. If the state does not file within that window, the court will issue a mandate seven days later, which means the final court ruling would be Dec. 11, Fox45 News reported. Officials have not yet confirmed whether they plan to file for a rehearing or, alternatively, seek a review before the U.S. Supreme Court. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement that he would "continue to fight for this law" and that his administration was evaluating its options.

"Striking down Maryland's oppressive Handgun Qualification License requirement affirms that the burdensome process infringes on the rights of the law-abiding," the NRA's lobbying arm executive director Randy Kozuch told Fox News Digital.

>>1240266 >by definition fascism is right wing lol wat? moussolini was a leftist that wrote for avanti before theorizing the merging of the state and public entities (e.g. public-private partnership that the current year democrats are so fond of).
fascism requires socialism in order to function at all, which is hardly a "right wing" proposition.

>>1240266 What makes fascism "right wing"?
Because it's mean? Because it thinks people should behave a certain way? Because it makes you the big sad?
Because you need to differentiate yourself as collectivists from the collectivism that was designated as "Le Hecking Bad Guys!" by history?
It's just collectivism. You're a collectivist, too. So you, too, are a fascist.

>>1240293 So... then modern democrat-voting college-educated antifa/woke/neolib leftists are fascists by that definition? Because they certainly are NOT proletariat. They are definitely petit-bourgeois.
But I guess I'd be wrong again, because of the good guy vs bad guy dynamic that we have to run to in the US/The West and right now "Le Bad Guys" are not them, of course. That's what fascism really refers to now.

>>1240266 fascism is authoritarian which by definition is left wing.
Left wing means big government where the state owns the people. right wing means small government where the state does not own the people. fascism is left wing and basically the same thing as socialism and communism.

You don't want liberties. You want permission. Because permission can be given, and taken. And you jack off to the idea that people you dislike might have their permissions revoked.

>>1240301 >so you would be fine if we put these same requirements on getting an abortion, writings a book about lbgt, voting, being jewish, being muslim, cutting off your child's dick and having sodomy? none of those things are the leading cause of preventable deaths among Americans, so I don't think they should be regulated in the same way. Maybe a 30 day waiting period is excessive, but that's more of an implementation question.
I also appreciate showing how consooomer brained you are that being unable to purchase a physical item instantly is somehow comparable to a government getting involved in your religious or sexual identity. and as to the medical procedures, abortion tends to be time sensitive (unlike the impulse to buy a gun, which for 99.9% of people are toys) and sex reassignment surgery tends to have years of counseling and hormonal therapy under medical supervision before being considered.
>>1240303 voting doesn't kill, and honestly I think that even immigrants who aren't citizens should be able to vote. if you live under the laws of a free country you ought to have a say in the laws of those country. Regardless of my personal views, every single examination of the issue shows that voter fraud is basically nonexistent, so it seems irrational to have extreme security measures to prevent a problem that isn't a problem. you'd be mad if the government spent millions to buy new chairs when the current chairs they have are still functional, why do you want the government to waste money on enhanced election security if the current system works and catches the fraud that does happen?

>>1240317 >none of those things are the leading cause of preventable deaths among Americans a. guns aren't in the top 10 leading causes of death in the us
https://www.cdc.gov/healthreport/publications/compendium.pdf b. abortions kill more than guns do
> so I don't think they should be regulated in the same way. because you base your opinions on jewish misinformation and not facts
>Maybe a 30 day waiting period is excessive, but that's more of an implementation question. got any evidence that a waiting period reduces murders?
>I also appreciate showing how consooomer brained you are that being unable to purchase a physical item instantly is somehow comparable to a government getting involved in your religious or sexual identity. owing a gun is a protected right in the constitution like religion is. sodomy and cutting off your kid's dick are not protected rights.
>abortion tends to be time sensitive fewer than 10% of abortions are due to rape, incest, mother's health and defective baby combined. the lion's share of abortions are recreational and as such are not pressing or time sensitives
>(unlike the impulse to buy a gun, which for 99.9% of people are toys) a. guns are a protected right, unlike abortions
b. guns are necessary for self defense
c. guns are not toys, they are dangerous weapons, please never own a gun
d. a woman in NJ died waiting for her permit to buy a gun after her ex threatened to kill her
>and sex reassignment surgery tends to have years of counseling and hormonal therapy under medical supervision before being considered. top keke, good joke

It’s not the class and extended wait time that’ll shittiest about this, it’s the cops having the discretion to tell you no even far, far down the process. Imagine going through the wait period, doing the four hour class, going through ANOTHER wait period and then you still get rejected (without reimbursement) because the piggies in charge don’t like you. Over here in Cali getting a CCW is next to impossible with some of these sheriffs, some because they’re elitists who think the state should have a monopoly on force and others because they’re pricks don’t like you. I don’t understand how you can be an Anti-Cop, Anti-Authoritarian left winger and still cheer at this blatant disregard for individual rights
