The Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to Maryland's 2013 ban on semiautomatic rifles, letting the law stand. The decision, opposed by three conservative justices, leaves the state's restrictions on semiautomatic weapons and magazine capacity intact. The Court offered no explanation for its decision, maintaining its infrequent involvement in Second Amendment cases since 2008. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, arguing the Court should have addressed the issue.
