Supreme Court case to legalize assault weapons in all 50 states

A case on the Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” could strike down state and local bans on AR-15s and similar assault weapons, favorite firearms of mass murderers. The plaintiff, the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR), is basically the NRA on meth.

“The case challenges a Naperville, Illinois, ordinance and a similar Illinois state law, both of which ban assault weapons, which the state law defines to include certain semiautomatic rifles such as AR-15s and AK-47s. Additionally, the state law prohibits the sale of a “large capacity ammunition feeding device,” which the statute defines as long gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, or handgun magazines that hold more than 15 bullets.”

— “A new Supreme Court case seeks to legalize assault weapons in all 50 states,” Ian Millhiser, Vox
