In a recent development, multiple cases challenging state bans on so-called assault weapons are now appealing for immediate Supreme Court review. A recent YouTube video shared that these legal battles, with implications far beyond their state boundaries, have taken a pivotal step forward, driven by what many are calling a critical mistake by the state of Illinois in response to these lawsuits. Here’s the full story.
The State of Illinois, like many others, has faced legal challenges to its bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. However, in a strategic move, supporters of the Second Amendment have leveraged these disputes to seek direct intervention from the nation’s highest court. The focus is now on six cases from Illinois, each petitioning for urgent Supreme Court review.
The cases in question include NAGR v. Naperville, Harrell v. Raoul, Barnett v. Raoul, GOA v. Raoul, Langley v. Kelly, and Herrera v. Raoul. These cases collectively represent a concerted effort to challenge Illinois’ stringent gun laws, which have long been a point of disagreement among gun rights advocates.
Anthony Miranda from Armed Scholar shared that in response to these petitions, the State of Illinois made a critical error that could shape the course of these legal battles. The state argued that rifles like the AR-15 are not arms under the Second Amendment’s text, thereby justifying their restrictions. Miranda added that this bold assertion has sparked outrage among Second Amendment defenders and legal experts alike.

Your AR-15 is useless against nuclear bombs, I mean c’mon man!
Well, we still will have original assault weapons: ROCKS.
“In related news, Washington State’s Supreme Court just ruled against high capacity ammunition magazine possession by the citizens.”
Washington State Supreme Court justices did nothing of the sort and weren’t even involved.
An unelected commissioner employed by the court deemed possession unlawful.
‘“SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” MEANS EXACTLY THAT’
Not good enough by itself. We have to look at the other end of it: What is it that shall not be infringed? You say a right? Tell us what a right is and what it includes.
Sometimes the ATF gets caught up in its arcane and absurd rules and delineations of guns and gun types, etc. that result in loopholes, etc. I believe one such gun is the Mossberg Shockwave shotgun with bird’s head pistol grip and ~ 14 barrel.
It’s not classified as a short-barreled rifle, shotgun, pistol, AOW, etc. just some other kind of weapon. But the minute you take off that manufacturer’s bird’s head grip you turn it into a rifle/pistol that can fall into their other ridiculous rules.
I think maybe we need to look at it this way:
Clinton said, “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.
Always welcome corrections to the command and control center. Post a link and we can all have a go at it!
BTTT
Much appreciated.
I will finish reading it soon.
Colorado is considering an assault weapons ban, insurance for gun owners, etc.
Yup
If it’s not a firearm I should be able to pick one up at the local convenience store without those pesky forms to fill out.
To liberals, the BOR is something to get around.
Fascinating. Then perhaps we can argue that slander from the House floor is not speech and debate as intended by the founders.

It’s a rifle. Guns are intended for a crew to operate.
Gun insurance…
I read that as back door registration. To insure, the insurance company will need the type of gun and the serial. That WILL get sent to Denver and now the government has your gun type, serial and probablybwhere it is stored. It’s now registered.
