DOJ Sues DC Over Assault Weapons Ban
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Washington D.C. challenging its 'assault weapons' ban. The suit argues that D.C.'s ban, which prohibits commonly used semi-automatic firearms like the AR-15 based on cosmetic features rather than common lawful use, lacks legal basis and historical tradition, citing Supreme Court precedents from Heller and Bruen. This action aims to allow law-abiding citizens to legally possess and register firearms currently banned by the city.
