Supreme Court to Hear AR Ban
And if the past two years are any indication, Porky's AR ban is headed for the trash heap:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear a challenge to bans on AR-15s and similar semi-automatic rifles that could impact states that have implemented strict gun control measures.
The justices granted a writ of certiori and consolidated two cases addressing bans on commonly owned firearms, including AR-15s. The petitioners specifically challenge restrictions in Illinois and Connecticut, two states with some of the strictest gun regulations in the nation.
AR-15s are among the most common semi-automatic rifles in the nation. The model has drawn scrutiny, however, over its prevalent use by mass shooters.
But the Supreme Court's recent Second Amendment cases have seen the justices err on the side of a permissive interpretation. This term, the court struck down restrictions on concealed carry permit holders in Hawaii. The justices previously struck down sweeping concealed carry restrictions in New York.
Actually, mass shooters use handguns far more often than rifles, but the media won't report that because those shootings are mainly in the blue state shitholes occupied by certain demographics.
Rifles are used around 400 times a year in homicides. Handguns around 10,000 times. Suicides by firearms are almost always handguns and account for another 20,000 deaths.
In any case, start saving up for that rifle you wanted.
