Supreme Court to Review 'Assault Weapon' Bans, Potentially Reshaping Gun Rights Nationwide

The Supreme Court has granted review in *Viramontes v. Cook County* and *Grant v. Higgins*, cases that will determine the constitutionality of 'assault weapon' bans. The Court will address whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles, a decision expected to have nationwide implications for gun ownership.
