Seventh Circuit Upholds Illinois AR-15 Ban

The Seventh Circuit upheld Illinois' AR-15 ban on July 9 — nine days after the Supreme Court agreed to hear a nearly identical challenge. The ruling, which reversed a district court's post-trial finding in favor of gun owners, drew a sharp dissent from Chief Judge Brennan and is likely moot once SCOTUS decides Viramontes.
