Pro-2A Organization Fires First Salvo In Supreme Court Battle Over Semi-Auto Gun Bans

Friday's brief hit the Court. Heller and Bruen are the text. Cook County is the ban.

Summary

  • The Daily Caller reports the Second Amendment Foundation filed its opening Supreme Court brief Friday in Cutberto Viramontes v. Cook County, challenging modern semiautomatic bans.
  • The brief says Heller and Bruen already treat those firearms as arms under the plain text, and that anti-gun states have leaned on hostile circuits for unserious assault-weapon arguments.
  • The justices granted certiorari in Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins on June 30 and consolidated the cases before argument.
  • SAF director of constitutional studies Konstadinos Moros said Friday the filing is a landmark opening brief on the combined assault-weapon challenges.

Commentary

A shift worker still locks a legal rifle in a closet after a night that smells like solvent. He did not ask Cook County to rename a common arm a crime.

That is the gap. Friday brief. June 30 cert. Two captions. The honest dad already passed the background check. The county passed the ban.

Look every father who still teaches a kid a safe in the eye and answer this: if a circuit can outlaw a common rifle, who still owns the text?

Heller and Bruen already named the arm. Cook County named a ban.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I qualified with a rifle the county now calls an assault. File the brief.

u/rule_first · 4h

June 30 cert. Two cases consolidated. Friday is the opening paper.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied citizens still treat a statute as text, not a mood.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Viramontes. Grant v. Higgins. Moros. Those are the captions.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still clock out and lock a legal gun. I do not need a county sermon.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A safe in a hallway is a parent's job. A ban is a politician's.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A republic that outlaws a common arm will not hold a frontier.

u/press_clip · 30m

Daily Caller printed Friday, June 30, and the two captions. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Keep the text. Kill the ban. A rifle is not a costume.
