The issue of access to assault weapons will not go before the u. S. Supreme court. The timing is interesting because today the justices declined to hear a challenge to an assault weapons ban that is in place in the state of connecticut. Pete williams is here to explain this to us. Does this have any kind of impact on the everyone is now saying after this assault in orlando, the massacre, is this going to have an impact across the country . It is the second time the Supreme Court has declined to take up challenge to assault weapons ban. Last december they didnt take a case on an assault weapons ban in highland park, a suburb of chicago. Since 2008 in the landmark Supreme Court decision from here in the district that said theres an individual right to have a gun at home for selfdefense, the Supreme Court has consistently refused to take up any challenges to local gun restrictions. This was a challenge to t connecticut law that was passed in 2013 right a rampage at sandy hook elementary. The state toughed its assault weapons ban. It restricts these rifles, the ar15 style rifles, that can handle large capacity ammunition magazines. The challenge that came to the Supreme Court was filed by some connecticut residents and some progun groups. What they said is it might have a marginal effect on gun violence, but that would be a matter of simple arithmetic. The proponents of the law said these are weapons that have been used disproportionately in Mass Shootings, that theyre designed to be killing machines in essence. They appealed to the Supreme Court, but the justices said again they wouldnt take the case. Close to home, what does that mean for the districts gun laws . Not much. This was strikctly about the assaul w announcing the hellor decision, which was a big victory for gun rights, the Supreme Court doesnt want to go near gun cases. Interesting.
