I agree. It is almost guaranteed that this will be shot down by the CA as well.
Well this has officially ruined my afternoon...not that I did not expect this
Upon review of all the parties’ evidence, the court seriously doubts that the banned assault long guns are commonly possessed for lawful purposes, particularly self-defense in the home, which is at the core of the Second Amendment right, and is inclined to find the weapons fall outside Second Amendment protection as dangerous and unusual.
Turning to the record in this case, Maryland’s ban on assault long guns and LCMs survives intermediate scrutiny. The evidence demonstrates that assault weapons have several military-style features making them especially dangerous to law enforcement and civilians.
We've known from the beginning that this case was going to go to higher courts. While it would have been nice to see a win, is there anyone here who is shocked at the outcome? Our legal team says they expect to go on up to SCOTUS.

I think she may have given us a gift.
She hasn't done her homework.
I also differ with her on self-defense in the home being "the core" of the 2A. While self-defense is a God-given Right, the true core of the 2A is to preserve Liberty. That means The People reserve the Right (and the power) to overthrow the government.
I knew a win at this level would be difficult. What bugs me the most is the reasoning in the opinion for the decision. AR's and AK's are the most commonly owned semi- automatics rifles in the country. That being the case, how can anyone with half a brain consider them to not be "commonly owned for legal purposes".
