South Carolina-based Palmetto State Armory, along with the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in two major Second Amendment cases involving bans on AR-15-style rifles.
The cases, Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, have been consolidated and ask a major constitutional question:
Does the Second Amendment protect the right to own AR-15-platform and similar semiautomatic rifles that are commonly used for lawful purposes?
PSA’s argument goes beyond the rifle itself. The brief argues that governments should not be able to effectively ban a protected firearm by separately restricting common components such as stocks, grips, magazines, barrels and other features.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments on December 2, 2026.
This could become one of the most consequential Second Amendment rulings in years.
What do you think? If a firearm is in common lawful use, should states and local governments be allowed to ban it based on its features or configuration?
