NOTE: 7th Circuit Court covers Wisconsin also, so read the story please.
In a recent oral argument in Viramontes v. Cook County before the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, an intense debate unfolded over Cook County’s “assault weapon” ban.
This ban is part of a larger legal battle challenging the restrictions on semi-automatic rifles. Mark Smith, host of Four Boxes Diner, offered a deep dive into the complexities of this case, exposing judicial reasoning that seemed both uninformed and dismissive of Second Amendment rights.
The argument in question centers on Cook County’s prohibition of certain firearms categorized as “assault weapons”—a term often applied to common semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15. Mark highlighted the fact that no military issues purely semi-automatic rifles, underscoring that these civilian-owned firearms are predominantly used for lawful purposes, including home defense.
