The Seventh Circuit just upheld Illinois’ ban on AR-15s and standard 30-round magazines, but the ruling may have a very short shelf life.

The decision landed just days after the Supreme Court agreed to hear Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, two cases that ask whether the Second Amendment protects common semiautomatic rifles like the AR-15.
In other words, the Seventh Circuit just doubled down on Bevis while SCOTUS is already preparing to review the same fight. READ MORE AT: https://www.ammoland.com/2026/07/seventh-circuit-illinois-ar-15-ban-supreme-court/?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=SocialSnap
