The stakes could not be higher.
If we win, we will likely see the dismantling of AR-15 bans in each state that has one, while making it virtually impossible to ever see one enacted here in Missouri.
We’ve waited for decades for this moment, and now is the perfect time to have this fight in the Supreme Court.
In 2008, the Supreme Court’s landmark Heller decision affirmed that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms.
In 2010, McDonald held that state and local governments — not merely the federal government — must obey the Second Amendment.
Then, in 2022, Bruen made clear that governments cannot justify gun control merely by claiming it promotes “public safety.”
Instead, they must demonstrate that a comparable restriction was part of America’s historical tradition of firearm regulation when the Second Amendment was adopted.
Now the Supreme Court has the opportunity to apply those decisions to the AR-15 — and strike down these bans once and for all. The Democrats are seething with rage at the thought.
Our brief makes the case that AR-15s are unquestionably protected “arms” under the plain text of the Second Amendment.
It explains that tens of millions of Americans own these rifles for lawful purposes, including self-defense, hunting, and target shooting.
But our argument does not stop with the number of rifles currently in circulation.
Our brief warns the Court that governments cannot be allowed to ban a firearm and then later claim it is “uncommon” because the ban prevented Americans from owning it.
It exposes how lower courts have ignored Heller and Bruen, smuggling unconstitutional interest-balancing back into their rulings under different names.
And it dismantles the Left’s claim that AR-15s can be banned merely because they resemble rifles used by the military.
