US EditionKavanaugh signals Supreme Court will soon decide constitutionality of banning AR-15s
- On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court opted not to review two legal challenges to Maryland's assault weapon prohibition and Rhode Island's restrictions on large-capacity magazines.
- These bans were enacted after mass shootings, including the Sandy Hook attack in 2012 and 2022 shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, prompting legal challenges on Second Amendment grounds.
- Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas dissented, arguing the bans conflict with the 2022 NRA v. Bruen decision requiring gun laws to have historic analogues, while Kavanaugh expressed skepticism but agreed to wait.
- About 20 to 30 million Americans own AR-15s mainly for lawful purposes, and Thomas called them arms protected by the Constitution, stating, "It is difficult to see how Maryland's categorical prohibition on AR-15s passes muster."
- The court's refusal leaves lower court rulings intact but signals it may soon review AR-15 bans, with Illinois cases viewed as likely next hearings on these issues.

Brown, concerned Maryland’s law banning AR-15s, AK-47s, and similar guns, which state lawmakers enacted after a man with a semiautomatic rifle walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School and gunned down twenty first graders and six adults. The other appeal, Ocean St…
The Supreme Court just shockingly got one right
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that it would not hear a notable Second Amendment challenge to a Maryland law banning semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15. The Court gave no reason for its ruling, which is its usual procedure. It therefore let a lower court ruling upholding the ban to stand. Only three justices…
