Finally! SCOTUS Will Hear Two ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban Cases

Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear two consolidated cases, Grant v. Higgins and Viramontes v. Cook County, challenging bans on modern semi-automatic rifles in Connecticut and Cook County, Illinois. This decision, long awaited by gun rights advocates, will address whether such firearms are protected under the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. Organizations like the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) expressed excitement for this development.
