Increased Urgency
The Supreme Court is now poised to extend Heller again to allow joyriding with AR-15s, whose ballistic impact Minneapolis’ police chief has described as ‘sickening and unacceptable.’
This term, the Court will determine whether AR-15 bans in Chicago, Connecticut, and elsewhere survive—or whether high-powered assault rifles are protected nationwide. Already last year, Justices Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch said it was ‘difficult to see’ how the states could ban AR-15s, the most popular rifle in America, under Heller’s (invented) common-use test.
After years of gun-control losses at the Court, AEP is taking a different approach: confronting the flawed Heller decision that created today’s gun-rights framework and resulting gun crisis. Last year, a single amicus brief corrected both sides’ arguments and helped prevent misuse of the National Guard. AEP believes a similar brief can correct the errors in Heller—before the Court makes the crisis worse.
