Supreme Court Will Review Assault Weapon Bans

“A Supreme Court that has expanded gun rights will consider whether bans on semiautomatic rifles, often called assault weapons, violate the Second Amendment,” the AP reports.

“The justices said Tuesday they will take up appeals asking the court to strike down bans on the AR-15 and similar semiautomatic firearms in Connecticut and the Chicago area.”

“Similar laws are in place in about a dozen states, covering major cities like New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.”
