The lawmakers have redefined assault rifles to, at the least, cover the AR-15 platform and at most include most semi-automatic rifles. Then they make laws banning these guns.
I think the Supreme Court clearly outlined in DC v Heller (also reiterated in Bruen) that the Constitution protects guns that are commonly used for lawful purposes.
What worries me is that the Supreme Court declined to block the Illinois Assault Weapon Ban.
What’s up with that???

My question to everyone is not what the Supreme Court should do. I think that's obvious (especially when asking a web site full of gun enthusiasts).
I'd like to ask what you guys think WILL happen to these "Assault Rifle" Bans that are going into effect in more and more states. I really thought the Supreme Court would have jumped at the chance to stop these bans once and for all.
Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA) needs to be struck down for multiple reasons. They are banning “assault weapons” and grandfathering in existing guns with a gun registry. The government can’t make a gun registry according to subsection 103(i) of the Brady Act.
