Can States Stop People From Buying Fast-Firing Rifles? Supreme Court to Decide

The Supreme Court is deciding whether Connecticut's ban on fast-firing semiautomatic rifles holds up in court. This matters because five states have identical bans hanging in the balance. A brief opposing Connecticut's restrictions arrived December 18, 2025. Lower courts have disagreed on how to judge such bans. The Court's decision will either protect state gun restrictions or dismantle them.
