Newswrap: MD court appeals gun safety law. What happens next?

Hand Gun
Robert Nelson
Hand Gun

Last week, a ten-year-old Maryland law regarding licensing requirements for handguns was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

On the same day, a judge in Oregon struck down a law that would have prohibited high-capacity magazines, background checks and training to obtain gun permits.

What do these rulings indicate for gun regulations and gun safety moving forward? Tom speaks with Eric Tirschwell, the executive director and chief litigation counsel of Everytown Law about last week's legal news.
