BELLEVUE, Wash. — Second Amendment Foundation Executive Director Adam Kraut issued a statement regarding the Supreme Court’s denial of certiorari in Snope v. Brown, SAF’s challenge to Maryland’s assault weapons ban.
“The Supreme Court’s decision to deny cert in Snope v. Brown is an egregious error that sidesteps addressing an important issue which requires the Court’s intervention. Millions of Americans continue to be disenfranchised from exercising their complete Second Amendment rights by virtue of these categorical bans. While Justice Kavanaugh’s statement insinuates the Court may hear one of the many other challenges percolating in the lower courts, as Justice Thomas points out, their input is of little value as they continue to distort the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment precedents. SAF will continue to aggressively litigate its seven other challenges to bans on “assault weapons” and spare no resource to ensure the right to keep and bear arms is not continued to be treated as ‘a second-class right.’”
