The Fourth Circuit has upheld a Maryland county ordinance requiring gun stores to distribute various literature "to all purchasers of guns or ammunition," saying it doesn't violate the First Amendment - sh.itjust.works

    I’m not so sure gun stores wouldn’t be required to print copies as the law is written.

    The law is not clear on the requirement for sellers, they must distribute the literature, but there is no requirement that the literature must be furnished by the health department. As far as I can tell the health department is only required to furnish each store with one copy.

    Further if the requirement is that the seller must use literature furnished by the health dept couldn’t the health dept stop all sales by not furnishing copies.
