Frequently Asked Questions

What did Harmeet Dhillon predict about semi-automatic bans?

Harmeet Dhillon, head of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division and Second Amendment Section, predicted that the Supreme Court will soon take up a semi-automatic ban case and overturn such laws nationwide, making AR-15s legal everywhere in America.

Which specific case is Harmeet Dhillon referencing regarding semi-automatic bans?

Dhillon's prediction is referencing a case the DOJ brought against Denver and their 'assault weapon ban,' not the cases currently sitting before the Supreme Court for conference.

What legal basis exists for AR-15s being considered 'in common use'?

The Supreme Court's 9-0 opinion in the Smith & Wesson case established the AR-15 as the most commonly owned rifle in the US. This fact, combined with rulings in Bruen and Heller concerning firearms in common use for law-abiding citizens, supports the argument for AR-15s being presumptively legal.

Why are lower courts upholding state assault weapon bans despite Supreme Court precedent?

Lower courts have found ways to circumvent Supreme Court precedent, such as post-Bruen, by arguing that the plain text of the Second Amendment is not implicated by certain bans, thus allowing them to uphold state laws without applying historical and traditional analysis.
