The National Rifle Association sued Maryland Gov. Wes Moore after he signed the Gun Safety Act of 2023 along with other gun safety measures into law Tuesday, court documents show.
The Gun Safety Act of 2023, or Senate Bill 1, prohibits “a person from knowingly wearing, carrying, or transporting a firearm in certain locations,” according to its synopsis.
The signing came as the US struggles with an onslaught of mass shootings – which have nearly doubled from 2018 through the end of last year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive. There have been more than 220 mass shootings in the US so far this year, according to the non-profit.
CNN and the GVA define a mass shooting as a shooting that injures or kills four or more people, not including the shooter.
