How did the Supreme Court rule on the Illinois assault weapon ban cases?

The Supreme Court denied review for multiple Illinois cases challenging the Protect Illinois Communities Act. This means the Seventh Circuit's previous rulings, which did not fully address the Second Amendment merits, remain effective in that jurisdiction.

What is the significance of the Guedes v. ATF case ruling?

The Supreme Court granted, vacated, and remanded the Guedes v. ATF case back to the DC Circuit Court. This action suggests the Supreme Court wants the lower court to re-evaluate the case, potentially impacting how similar federal firearm ban cases are handled.

Does the US v. Rahimi decision affect assault weapon bans?

While the US v. Rahimi case was upheld, the Supreme Court's ruling did not contain specific language that directly applies to or impacts the legality of 'assault weapon' bans on semi-automatic rifles. The legal status of these bans remains largely unaddressed by this decision.
