Supreme Court Won’t Hear Challenge In Second Amendment Case
A split Supreme Court turned down a challenge to a state ban on assault weapons. Semiautomatic rifles, popular among gun owners, have also played a significant role in mass shootings.
The majority didn’t say why they turned down the case about guns like the AR-15. Three of the nine justices on the court, all of whom are conservative, openly disagreed, while a fourth said he wasn’t sure if such restrictions are constitutional.
Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have looked at the case, and Justice Clarence Thomas wrote separately to say that the law clearly violates the Second Amendment.
Thomas wrote, “I wouldn’t wait to decide if the government can ban the most popular rifle in America.” “That question is very important to tens of millions of law-abiding AR-15 owners across the country.”
Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whom President Donald Trump appointed, agreed with the decision to throw out the case now, but he doesn’t think that such bans are constitutional and anticipates that the court will look at the issue “in the next term or two.”
The Maryland law was passed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut in 2012, which killed 20 children and six adults. The shooter had an AR-15, which is a type of rifle that is also called an assault weapon.
Several states have laws that are similar, and Democrats in Congress have also supported the idea. The challengers said that people had a constitutional right to buy rifles like the AR-15, which most gun owners do legally.
The lawsuit comes as the Supreme Court is currently hearing another case that could have a huge impact on the Second Amendment.
On Monday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case of United States v. Hemani. This case questions whether a federal law that makes it a crime for an illegal drug user to own a gun is constitutional.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear Hemani’s case after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit threw out his conviction last year because the law, as it applied to Hemani, who admitted to using marijuana a lot, violated the Second Amendment.
Hemani is the first case since the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen that has prompted the court to consider whether it is constitutional to arrest people for owning guns solely based on their membership in a certain group.
The court decided in 2024 that the defendant in United States v. Rahimi was dangerous because his ex-girlfriend had made accusations against him.
But in Hemani, the law says that anyone who uses drugs illegally can’t have a gun, no matter what their situation is. The main question seems to be: Can the government ban all illegal drug users from owning guns?
How does this categorical frame fit with the Bruen test, which says that every modern gun law must be based on a similar law from the time of the founding (or close to it)?
While the nation awaits the ruling, it appears that both the conservative and liberal justices were against the law’s broad definition of the category.
The justices appeared to concur that the law could charge and disarm an excessive number of individuals for unwarranted offenses.
Both sides were against the category’s size and kept saying they didn’t believe a law could cover so many things.
It seemed like too much to ask to take away the guns of all illegal drug users, from marijuana smokers to PCP users to people who used their spouse’s prescription drugs.
A majority of the justices seemed to agree that a lot of illegal drug users were just too dangerous to have guns.
But after the argument on Monday morning, it was clear that both the left and right sides of the court did not agree that all illegal drug users, no matter what their situation was, lost their Second Amendment rights.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
