I Googled "Maryland gun laws" for you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Maryland

From the link:

quote:
"Assault weapon" law?

Long guns: Yes
Handguns: Yes

Md Criminal Law Article Section 4-303
Firearms Safety Act of 2013

Certain models of firearms are banned as "assault pistols" and "assault long guns". It is illegal to possess an "assault weapon" or a copycat weapon with two or more specified features (folding stock, grenade/flare launcher, flash suppressor) unless owned before 10/1/2013, or received through inheritance from a lawful possessor and not otherwise forbidden to possess.[1]
Some local counties have adopted Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions in opposition to assault weapon laws.[4]

I was just reading on the Internet that assault rifles are now banned in Maryland. What’s the story? Have they been grandfathered.

When I think Maryland, Atlantic Firearms comes to mind. I’ve bought a few from them over the years.

It has to come with a "heavy" barrel.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.
