The Supreme Court has rejected challenges to assault weapons bans in Connecticut and New York, in the aftermath of the shooting attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that left 50 people dead.

The justices on Monday left in place a lower court ruling that upheld laws that were passed in response to another mass shooting involving a semi-automatic weapon, the elementary school attack in Newtown, Connecticut.

Seven states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws banning assault weapons. The others are California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. In addition, Minnesota and Virginia regulate assault weapons, the center said.

Makes total sense, honestly. The court isn't stupid, they know that in the current configuration they are not going to get a definitive decision one way or the other.

So why not defer the case?

It doesn't mean the issue is solved, it simply means the court isn't going to hear the case at this time and will allow the lower courts decision to stand for now.

The issue isn't assault weapons. The issue is weapons that look like assault weapons.

An assault weapon fires all its bullets with one squeeze of its trigger. The AR15 works the same as most handguns and shotguns.

Think Daytona 500. Street legal Camaros kinda look like the race cars but cant compete.
