The Right of the People of Maryland to Keep and Bear Arms

admin Constitutional Law

Maryland Shall Issue, Inc. commissioned our firm to prepare an analysis of a 13-year-old Opinion of the Maryland Attorney General currently being used in the Maryland General Assembly to support SB 43, the so-called “assault weapons” ban.  Our analysis — “The Right of the People of Maryland to Keep and Bear Arms:  A Refutation of a 1994 Opinion of the Maryland Attorney General” — was presented to the Maryland General Assembly at a hearing on February 27, 2007.  The views presented in our paper are consistent with the subsequently-issued opinion of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in the case of Parker v. District of Columbia, issued March 9, 2007.
