“Democrats just can’t let go of their push for an assault weapons ban. Meanwhile, Americans are waiting for the Supreme Court to intervene. Thirteen times, the court has relisted the Snope v. Brown case, which addresses Maryland’s ban on semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines. It seems increasingly likely the court will hear the case next year, and the decisions in Heller and Bruen make it clear that these bans are unconstitutional. These laws ban guns ‘in common use’, and no comparable historical analog exists for these bans. But on April 30, Sen. Adam Schiff [D-CA] introduced the so-called ‘Assault Weapons Ban of 2025’. It picks up where his predecessor, Dianne Feinstein, left off.” (05/13/25)
