First Circuit Upholds Massachusetts Assault Weapon Ban

The First Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the Massachusetts ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, ruling that such restrictions do not infringe on the Second Amendment rights. In its opinion, Judge Gary Katzmann highlighted that challengers failed to demonstrate any instance of banned weapons being used for self-defense, stressing the historical context of regulations on various firearms.

This ruling reinforces legal precedent in the face of mass shootings, noting that the court found the law aligns with the historical tradition of regulating firearms, similar to past bans on specific weapons. With nearly 1,000 lives lost to mass shootings, the court asserted that this reality justifies reasonable regulations. The case, Capen v. Campbell, further solidifies the legal landscape surrounding gun control in the wake of Supreme Court decisions.
