Supreme Court lets stand Chicago-area assault-weapon ban

A customer shops for a pistol at Freddie Bear Sports sporting goods store in Tinley Park, Ill.WASHINGTON--The Supreme Court let stand a Chicago-area ordinance banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, again declining the chance to explain its view of gun rights following two earlier landmark rulings striking down handgun bans in within the last decade.

In June 2013, the City Council in Highland Park, Ill., banned possession of semiautomatic pistols and rifles, including versions of the AK-47, AR-15 and Uzi, which it described as “a narrow category of unusually dangerous weapons that have been used in a series of deadly mass shooting events.”

The Supreme Court’s decision to stay out of the case came as the country faced a wave of mass shootings, including last week’s killing of 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., the deadliest terrorist attack in the U.S. since Sept. 11, 2001.
