Where's the beef?
To that, Veruca Frosh says, "But Daddy, I want the HBARs and I want them now!"
Here is my take on this. It will be back next year in same form but their plan will be to amend it, ban all HBARs but not confiscate any HBARs before 2020. I know this state is run by Marxists and a RINO governor, but attempting to take back all rifles before 2020 is a step to far for them right now. In a few more years that will be another story.
I just think another year of anti-gun propaganda will do it for them.
Another year of court decisions, too.
Which might actually make it more difficult for the antis depending on outcome.
The courts are going more in our favor. The recent CA decision on magazines even mentioned AR-15s. The Heller “common use test” is our friend.
I have no legal training but I had mentioned before I don't see how the best selling rifle ever and of the last two decades is not in common use. Ubiquitous in a lot of competitive shooting formats. Popular for hunting, sport, self defense, invasive hog extermination, etc. If they want to take semi-auto rifles they are from 1885ish off the top of my head.
If you haven’t read the CA opinion on magazines, it goes into all of this very nicely.

Don't get your hopes up. That is one district court decision. One. And that is not binding precedent, not even in the same court. And you can be sure the State will appeal it to the Ninth Circuit court of appeals. Yeah, that one, which goes en banc on every 2A case that they don't like. There is much more to do.

I don’t think SCOTUS would take an HBAR only lawsuit. They are more apt to take a case involving the banning of an entire class of firearms, and there are plenty of those.Hey, we have to take the glimmers of hope that come our way. A win in California on mags and a 1st Amendment win on a Motion to Dismiss.
I agree with you though about the case in California. Going to be a long road before that is over. Hope it ends up being as long as possible, reaches SCOTUS, and SCOTUS confirms what the US District Court for the Southern District of California says. Should the 9th Circuit uphold the District Court, it will be a miracle, but even then the holding would only be applicable to California, Alaska, Arizona, and Hawaii. Maryland is a long ways away from them. So, it is either all the way up to SCOTUS with SCOTUS upholding the District Court or it means very little to us. I know you know this Mark, just putting it out there for those that are already popping corks on champagne bottles.
I don't know whether I fear or favor the HBAR ban here in Maryland. If they ban the HBAR here in Maryland, we can focus on just that one piece of litigation, which I think is something worth focusing on. If we can get SCOTUS to rule on the HBAR AR-15, that might be the first chip in the anti foundation here in Maryland and it might open Pandora's box for some of the other listed assault weapons.

Hey , just a general question, but how many bites at the apple does a law school grad get at passing the bar?
Thanks. I did some Google Fu and it definitely varies state by state, some have a limited number with conditions, some don't

Few states have as many occupations that require state licensure as Maryland.
Money and control; those are the bywords. You pays your fees and you do what you're told. Step out of line and you step out of your job.
Don't tell md.gov that my wife cuts my hair; she needs a license for that.
