- The Supreme Court Will Decide Whether States Can Ban Assault Weapons
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear two cases challenging assault weapons bans in Cook County, Illinois, and Connecticut. The decision could determine the constitutionality of such bans under the Second Amendment, potentially affecting similar laws in other states. The cases, Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, will be argued in October 2023, with a ruling expected by 2024.
