A federal appeals court (7th Circuit) has ruled that AR-15 style rifles, termed 'assault weapons,' are not protected by the Second Amendment. This decision overturned an injunction against Illinois' assault weapon and large-capacity magazine ban. The ruling creates a conflict with other circuits, such as the 9th Circuit, where Judge Roger T. Benitez previously found similar bans unconstitutional. The case is considered ripe for Supreme Court review.
