EXCERPT:
- A federal judge upheld Maryland’s ban on Glocks and striker-fired handguns, allowing it to take effect on January 1, 2027.
- Judge Richard D. Bennett denied the plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction, stating that the law aligns with Second Amendment regulations.
- Senate Bill 334 prohibits the sale and transfer of machine gun convertible pistols, including Glocks, due to potential modifications into fully automatic weapons.
- The ruling underscores that the state justifies this ban as a necessary response to advances in weapon technology and rising gun violence.
- The case is ongoing, and the judge suggested that the challengers were unlikely to win, which led to the denial of the emergency order.
