Last week, gun owners had a mixed week at the U.S. Supreme Court with the court denying cert in Snope vs Brown, the Maryland "assault weapons" ban case as well as Ocean State Tactical vs. Rhode Island, a challenge to the state's standard capacity magazine ban, but issuing a unanimous decision shooting down Mexico's lawsuit against U.S. firearms manufacturers. Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney who hosts the 4 Boxes Diner Podcast on YouTube Tube broke down the decision and the implications it has for a positive ruling in the future related to so called assault weapons bans. Smith notes that this opinion was written by one of the most liberal justices on the Court so it is a big deal that it ws unanimous and there is some nuggets that are good for gun owners looking for a positive ruling on so called "assault weapons".
