Supreme Court Tackles AR-15 Ban | Chicago News

The Supreme Court is poised to deliver a landmark ruling on assault weapons, agreeing to hear a case challenging Cook County’s ban on AR-15 style rifles — a move that could redefine gun rights in America. Combining this with a similar challenge from Connecticut, the justices are testing whether the Second Amendment protects ownership of these widely used firearms. Gun advocates argue these rifles are “in common use” and shouldn’t be deemed “dangerous and unusual,” while the Court’s historical test from past rulings looms large. Justice Clarence Thomas’s prior interest in such bans adds weight to the case, especially as Illinois pushes its own ban following tragedy — all pointing to a decision that could reshape gun control nationwide.
