“In a case that could have national implications, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to announce this week whether it will take on a challenge to a Chicago-area law banning semi-automatic rifles.
California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Washington, D.C., also currently ban so-called “assault weapons.”
More from NBC News:
“Gun rights advocates are challenging a 2013 law passed in Highland Park, Illinois, that bans the sale, purchase, or possession of semi-automatic weapons that can hold more than 10 rounds in a single ammunition clip or magazine. In passing the law, city officials cited the 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.”
The ban also lists certain specific rifles, including those resembling the AR-15 and AK-47 assault-style firearms”
