Multiple cases headed to SCOTUS regarding bans

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/supreme-court-ruling-to-end-all-nationwide-assault-weapon-magazine-bans-put-in-motion/ss-AA1nLFJT?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=344a928fa8e04c6aa6084ed085dce894&ei=6&sc=shoreline#image=1

The State of Illinois, like many others, has faced legal challenges to its bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. However, in a strategic move, supporters of the Second Amendment have leveraged these disputes to seek direct intervention from the nation’s highest court. The focus is now on six cases from Illinois, each petitioning for urgent Supreme Court review. The cases in question include NAGR v. Naperville, Harrell v. Raoul, Barnett v. Raoul, GOA v. Raoul, Langley v. Kelly, and Herrera v. Raoul. These cases collectively represent a concerted effort to challenge Illinois’ stringent gun laws, which have long been a point of disagreement among gun rights advocates.Anthony Miranda from Armed Scholar shared that in response to these petitions, the State of Illinois made a critical error that could shape the course of these legal battles. The state argued that rifles like the AR-15 are not arms under the Second Amendment’s text, thereby justifying their restrictions. Miranda added that this bold assertion has sparked outrage among Second Amendment defenders and legal experts alike.

Here's hoping. Roll back the 1934 and 1968 gun control acts and render any and all state and local gun control laws unconstitutional
