Frosh, et al<\/a><\/em>. Partnering with SAF and CCRKBA in the case are the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), a commercial business and several individual citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual plaintiffs are Dominic Bianchi and David Snope of Baltimore County, and Micah Schaefer who resides in Ann Arundel County, where Field Traders, LLC, the commercial plaintiff, is also located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Named as defendants are Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh, State Police Secretary Col. Woodrow W. Jones III, and Sheriffs R. Jay Fisher of Baltimore County and Jim Fredericks of Ann Arundel County, in their official capacities. Plaintiffs are represented by attorneys Nicole J. Moss, David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson and John D. Ohlendorf with Cooper &amp; Kirk PLLC in Washington, D.C., Raymond M. DiGuiseppe of North Carolina and Adam Kraut, director of FPC Director of Legal Strategy of Sacramento, Calif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the second federal challenge filed against Maryland gun laws in recent days. The earlier action challenges the state\u2019s concealed carry law that makes it nearly impossible for average citizens to exercise their right to bear arms. At issue are Maryland\u2019s laws that individually and collectively deny millions of people their fundamental right to keep and bear commonly-owned arms. That case is&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-rights-groups-challenge-maryland-gun-ban-in-federal-court\" title=\"Gun Rights Groups Challenge Maryland Gun Ban in Federal Court\">Call, et.al. v. Jones et. al.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaryland has instituted laws that ban scores of firearms simply because they look like other guns, and that cannot be allowed to stand,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cAs we note in the lawsuit, the right to keep and bear arms includes, but is not limited to, the right of individuals to acquire, transport, possess, purchase, and receive common firearms for all lawful purposes, including self-defense. Maryland bans such firearms and there is no basis for such a ban, so we\u2019re taking the state to court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo-called \u2018assault weapons\u2019 are some of the most commonly owned semi-automatic firearms, all of which are excellent for self-defense,\u201d explained FPC\u2019s Adam Kraut. \u201cMaryland\u2019s ban on these firearms robs its citizens of their right to choose, forcing them to purchase and use firearms that may not be what is best for them, including defending their homes and their families. All law-abiding adults have a constitutional right to purchase any of the semi-automatic firearms on the market today. Maryland\u2019s laws are unconstitutional and we look forward to vindicating the rights of our clients and all individuals in Maryland and across the United States in this case and others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnder the text of the Constitution itself, not to mention the Supreme Court\u2019s precedents, the plaintiffs and all law-abiding People have a right to keep and bear these common semi-automatic arms for all lawful purposes,\u201d said FPC President Brandon Combs. \u201cThrough this case,\u00a0our <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2019-8-15-miller-complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-rights-groups-challenge-maryland-gun-ban-in-federal-court\" title=\"Gun Rights Groups Challenge Maryland Gun Ban in Federal Court\">Miller v.
