A legal challenge argues that while the Second Amendment protects gun ownership, it does not explicitly guarantee access to modern military-style firearms like the AR-15. The county’s filing contends that such weapons fall outside the historical tradition of firearm possession referenced in constitutional interpretation. Legal experts will be watching closely as the case tests the boundaries of gun rights under existing law. The outcome could set a precedent for future disputes over firearm regulations.
Even if AR-15s are covered by the Second Amendment, the county's brief says, that doesn't mean Americans have a right to own them.
