National Rifle Association President David Keene said Tuesday that the organization intends to challenge the constitutionality of Maryland's newly passed gun law, as a conservative group readied plans to try to overturn the law through voter referendum.
Keene said during a radio interview the group will absolutely go to the courts.
We are already in court in New York and we will be in court and aiding those in Maryland and I am myself a Maryland resident who want to challenge the constitutionality of this and other provisions here in Maryland, Keene said to the Washington, D.C., station WTOP.
The gun bill approved by the General Assembly last week bans the sale of 45 types of military-style semi-automatic rifles, among other strict provisions. Keene said it is unconstitutional to ban firearms in common use and that the AR-15 is nation's best-selling rifle.

(74 posts)Colorado comes to mind, the wording on the magazine restrictions was not well thought out. By including the language about modifiable to hold more than 10 , they banned all magazines with a removable floor plate, which is essentially all of them. Might not stand up to the common use language from Heller.
