Viramontes v. Cook County, the Second Amendment, SCOTUS, & Potential Impact
Description
A battle over the banning of AR-15 style rifles will soon present itself before the High Court. In Viramontes v. Cook County, a Second Amendment challenge was brought by Cutberto Viramontes and other plaintiffs to Cook County’s ban on AR-15-style rifles and similar semiautomatic firearms. The Supreme Court will consider whether the Second Amendment protects the right to possess these firearms, a question with potentially nationwide implications which could reshape the legal landscape surrounding assault weapons & the Second Amendment.
On this Lawyer 2 Lawyer episode, Craig welcomes Professor Andrew Willinger from Georgia State University College of Law. Craig & Andrew spotlight the upcoming AR-15 rifle ban case, Viramontes v. Cook County & SCOTUS, and examine this case before the Supreme Court, the Second Amendment, and the potential impact of a SCOTUS ruling.
