Are assault weapons legal to purchase and possess in Maryland?

Yes, without restrictions
No, they are banned
Yes, but with restrictions
Only for law enforcement and military personnel

The correct answer is: No, they are banned

Assault weapons are prohibited for purchase and possession in Maryland. This is because Maryland has strict gun laws that classify assault weapons as a "regulated firearm", meaning they are subject to additional regulations such as registration, background checks, and waiting periods. This classification effectively bans the sale and ownership of assault weapons in the state. While law enforcement and military personnel may have access to these weapons for their duties, they are not available for purchase or possession by the general public.
