Supreme Court justices reject challenge to local assault weapons ban

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from gun owners who challenged a Chicago suburb's ban on assault weapons.

 

The justices on Monday refused to hear the case of a Highland Park, Illinois, pediatrician who objected to the city's 2013 ban on semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity magazines.

 

The federal appeals court in Chicago upheld the Highland Park law, ruling that local governments have leeway in deciding how to regulate firearms.

 

In October, the federal appeals court in New York largely upheld similar laws in Connecticut and New York, among a handful of states that ban semi-automatic weapons.

 

The Supreme Court has repeatedly turned away challenges to gun restrictions since two landmark decisions that spelled out the right to a handgun to defend one's own home.

Hate the ruling!  It's going to pave the way for so called "assault weapons" bans in liberal states.

And the most liberal states have already banned them anyway. This doesn't change anything at all from the existing status quo.

 

But yeah, better to keep this in the other earlier thread.

The lesson here is that the current Supreme Court is letting laws (Obamacare) stand on their own.  Robert's said if you want different results, elect different legislators and governors, (or, scare them enough to make them do the correct thing Constitutionally).

This is the year, the sentiment is out there Trump has raided issues, and terrorist have acted in such a way lately to raise the anti for politicians.  I started walking the halls of LP yesterday, it is time to be heard.  Lame duck ineffectual governor and the scuffle for that seat has already begun. Make hay...
