I don’t mean to start a whole new “assault pistol” rant/thread, but I’m confused as to why a GHM9 with a 16” barrel is banned as an “assault pistol” according to my local FFL and cannot be purchased in MD, even though the GHM9 is on the approved handgun list. My FFL could not explain what makes this version of the GHM9 banned, but obviously it must have something to do with the barrel length.
I know the answer here is “because Maryland”, but can anyone explain why this pistol is banned in MD? Would it be correct to assume that any 9mm handguns with a 16” barrel are banned? Or is there something about this specific handgun that makes it forbidden?
