Supreme Court Tackles AR-15 Bans | Texas News

The Supreme Court is poised to make a landmark decision on gun rights, stepping into the debate over whether the Second Amendment protects ownership of AR-15 style rifles. For the first time, the Court will directly address bans on these semi-automatic weapons in cases from Cook County, Illinois, and Connecticut — both of which have long-standing restrictions intensified after mass shootings. With the upcoming term starting in October, this ruling could reshape firearm laws nationwide, especially after recent pro-gun decisions and following the Court’s 2022 ruling affirming public carry rights. Plaintiffs argue the bans violate constitutional rights, while lower courts defend them as necessary for public safety — a showdown that could echo across the country and redefine the future of gun control.
