Attorney General Frosh’s Statement Following Supreme Court Decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen

 

BALTIMORE, MD – Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today released the following statement:

“Today’s decision means more deaths and more pain in a country already awash in gun violence.  If the norm is that people can carry firearms, our neighborhoods, our streets and other public places will become more dangerous.  It will make the lives of law enforcement more difficult and more perilous.  The epidemic of gun violence sweeping our nation demonstrates daily the folly of introducing more guns into this boiling cauldron.

“Maryland, like many other states, has enacted common sense gun laws that place the lives and safety of our residents first.  They have been proven to reduce gun violence.

“We will examine today’s ruling to determine its impact in our state, and we will continue to fight to protect the safety of Marylanders.”
