Fighting for 2A Rights  by Tom Reynolds

The Trump administration continues to be the 2nd Amendment’s best champion.

Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins (Connecticut)are consolidated cases asking whether the 2nd and 14th Amendments protect the right to possess AR-15-platform and similar semiautomatic rifles. Cook County and Connecticut want to outlaw America’s most popular rifle.

The oral arguments are scheduled for December 2nd.

The Trump administration wants to be heard when the Supreme Court hears its most consequential Second Amendment case in years.

The Justice Department has already filed an amicus brief supporting the gun owners and arguing that categorical AR-15 bans are unconstitutional. Now, United States Solicitor General D. John Sauer, on behalf of the United States, asked the Supreme Court for permission to participate in oral arguments.

Sauer wrote, “These cases present the question whether a categorical ban on the possession of AR-15 semiautomatic rifles infringes the right to keep and bear arms guaranteed by the Second Amendment…such a ban is unconstitutional.”

When you vote in November, remember who is fighting to take away your 2A rights and who is fighting to preserve those rights.
