The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in Kolbe vs. Hogan that weapons that are “most useful in military service" are not shielded by the Second Amendment. In other words, there is no substantive difference between the AR-15 , or any of the other 44 types of firearms specifically banned by the Maryland Firearms Safety Act and the military’s M16. That, of course, is utter nonsense. Any person with experience on the M16 or AR-15 knows the weapons are similar; they are not, however, identical. Many differences exist (especially depending on the model), but the primary difference is that the M16 has fully automatic capabilities, whereas the AR-15 is only semi-automatic.
Following the Court's rationale, bayonets and knives would also be prohibited to be owned by Americans, because they are "most useful in military service."
The Court, in its ruling, totally obliterates the Second Amendment; all one has to do is to say that there is some connection between whatever weapon it is and military service, and the right to own it is not protected by the Second Amendment.
The case is undoubtedly now headed to the Supreme Court, which underscores the absolutely necessity for approving Neil Gorsuch to the bench as soon as possible.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
