The Justice Department is taking a Maryland county to court after it passed a law festooning the county with gun-free zones where weapons are not allowed.
The lawsuit seeks to overturn Montgomery County’s gun control edict, according to a Justice Department news release.
The Justice Department said Bill 23-26 “violates the Second Amendment by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms in daily life.”
The bill makes it illegal to carry a gun within 100 yards of a wide variety of locations “even if the person carrying a firearm is duly licensed and has the express consent of the property owner,” the release said.
“The Second Amendment does not allow local governments to ban law-abiding citizens from carrying firearms in public places as they go about their daily lives,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said.
LOL, Montgomery County is full of thugs and MS-13. Do they really think those guys are going to follow gun laws? All they are doing is keeping innocent people from defending themselves.
