Supreme Court Issues 8-1 Emergency Decision Changing The Second Amendment Fight Forever!

The Supreme Court denied immediate review of Illinois's 'assault weapon' and magazine ban cases, but Justice Thomas indicated a strong interest in addressing these issues in a final merits case. The Seventh Circuit's decision, which used a 'military use test' to exclude AR-15s from Second Amendment protection, is being challenged. A bench trial is scheduled for September 16th to address the constitutionality of the Protect Illinois Communities Act, with the burden on Illinois to justify the ban.

The Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, denied petitions to hear cases challenging 'assault weapon' bans, deferring to lower courts. Justice Thomas, in a concurring statement, highlighted that the AR-15 is a popular semi-automatic rifle in common use for lawful purposes, suggesting lower courts should reconsider bans based on this precedent. The decision means these cases will proceed through the lower courts before potentially returning to the Supreme Court.

The 11th Circuit is now rehearing arguments in light of this precedent, with judges appearing skeptical of the government's broad claims of immunity for operational failures.
