The Supreme Court’s June 2026 decision to grant certiorari in consolidated challenges to assault-weapon restrictions in Cook County, Illinois, and Connecticut has sharply raised expectations that the bans will fall. With a 6-3 conservative majority that has repeatedly broadened Second Amendment protections since Heller and Bruen, traders see a strong likelihood the Court will hold that commonly owned semiautomatic rifles like the AR-15 qualify as arms in common use for lawful purposes. Signals from Justices Kavanaugh, Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch in earlier cases reinforce this view, while oral arguments set for the October 2026 term and a likely ruling by mid-2027 leave limited room for reversal absent unexpected shifts in the Court’s lineup or new factual records.
