Law was passed following Highland Park shooting in 2022, and has been challenged by gun shops and gun rights groups

The US supreme court has refused to overturn an Illinois ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, which was passed following the deadly mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, in 2022.

The court rejected the request, made by a gun shop and a national gun rights group in an appeal of a lower court’s decision not to allow a preliminary injunction to block the law.

    Its an old, outdated document which is responsible for the death of thousands of people every year.The 2nd amendment needs to be removed for good. But since americans love their guns more than their children this is unrealistic. So best that can be done is to actually well regulate this “militia”.

      The constitution is perfectly in date, as a living document that can be changed at any point it is always in date. The second amendment needs to be protected, not removed. If you cannot see that then you can try and get that amendment passed. But until that point it shall not be infringed.
