Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the Supreme Court accepting cases on AR and magazine bans?

The Supreme Court accepting these cases means they will be discussed in a conference on May 16th to determine if the court will hear oral arguments. This is a crucial step towards potentially challenging and overturning bans on "assault weapons" and standard-capacity magazines nationwide.

What is the 'common use' argument in relation to Second Amendment rights?

The 'common use' argument posits that firearms and magazines that are widely owned by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as self-defense or sport, are protected under the Second Amendment. This is a central point in challenges against bans on commonly owned firearms like AR-15s.
