Supreme Court allows AR-15 ban in Maryland
The Supreme Court turned away an appeal by a group of gun-rights advocates seeking to overturn Maryland's ban on AR-15 semi-automatic rifles under the Second Amendment.
The Supreme Court on Monday turned away an appeal by a group of gun rights advocates seeking to overturn Maryland's ban on assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines under the Second Amendment.
The decision, a major win for gun safety advocates, leaves in place a ruling by the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals which ruled that the state may constitutionally prohibit sale and possession of the weapons.
The state legislation, enacted in 2013 after the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, specifically targets the AR-15 -- the most popular rifle in America with 20-30 million in circulation. They are legal in 41 of the 50 states.

Here's everything you need to know. CBS Sunday morning interviews a gun nut job. She states a demonstratively false statement about how many guns kill a people a year, and gets fucking zero push back. That's how we got to where we are. It's harder to get a driver's license than it is to get a gun.
EDIT: As we all know "knives and blunt objects" are obviously used to kill more people than assault rifles.
Most handgun calibre rounds are, well, round, for the most part. Bullets get the pointy end as we move towards bigger calibres, right?
Not really.
There's lots of big ammo that is "round", such as .50AE,. 475 Nitro, 30-30 Win, etc.
Actually, I'd say most large calibers between .404 PM and .700 Nitro Express are on the round side of things.
And, there is plenty of "pointy" small caliber rounds, like 5.7 x 28mm,. 17 HMR, 4.6x30 H&K, and depending on your leniency for what is "pointy,", even 9mm parabellum (luger) might apply.
