The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear a challenge concerning the constitutionality of state and local bans on semiautomatic rifles, such as the AR-15.
The case will consider challenges to restrictions in place in several states. According to NBC News, these weapons are popular among gun enthusiasts but have been used in high-profile mass shootings.
The Washington Examiner reported that the Supreme Court announced it would take up a challenge to a pair of state “assault weapons” bans in its upcoming term. This marks another major Second Amendment case before the court.
No additional details regarding the specific states involved or the legal arguments presented were provided in the sources.
