Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main legal argument against Connecticut's assault weapon ban?

The primary argument is that semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 are protected under the Second Amendment as firearms 'in common use for lawful purposes.' The petition challenges the arbitrary nature of bans based on cosmetic features and argues that such weapons cannot be deemed 'unusual' if millions of Americans own them.

Why is the AR-15 considered a firearm 'in common use'?

Estimates suggest 20 to 30 million AR-15s are in circulation in the U.S., with 16 to 25 million Americans owning one. They are used daily for lawful purposes such as home defense, target shooting, training, and hunting, with millions receiving annual training.

What is the significance of the AR-15 ban case heading to the Supreme Court?

This case could force the Supreme Court to definitively answer whether the government can ban the AR-15, the most popular rifle in America. It's seen as a critical opportunity to restore Second Amendment rights and potentially overturn similar bans in other states.

How does the petition address the 'dangerous and unusual' argument for banning firearms?

The petition uses FBI crime data to show that rifles are used in a tiny fraction of homicides, far less than handguns or knives. It argues that a weapon owned by millions cannot logically be considered 'unusual,' directly contradicting lower court rulings.
