Federal judge rules against some provisions in Maryland gun control law

A federal judge in Maryland has suspended parts of a new gun law, ruling that certain provisions banning guns in private buildings, public gatherings, and places that sell alcohol are likely unconstitutional.
The judge cited a previous Supreme Court ruling that struck down a New York law restricting handgun carrying permits, stating that similar restrictions in Maryland were unlikely to pass constitutional muster.
The decision is seen as a major win for Second Amendment rights advocates, who argue that restrictions on law-abiding gun owners go beyond what is constitutionally allowed.
