SCOTUS Upholds States' Assault Weapons Ban

Description

The Supreme Court has rejected challenges to assault weapons bans in Connecticut and New York Monday, allowing the state laws to stay in effect. The ruling upholds the opinion of a lower court. Both laws ban assault weapons and large-capacity magazines in their respective states. The Connecticut law was enacted after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which was carried out with an AR-15 assault rifle, the same style of gun used in Orlando's Pulse nightclub shooting that claimed the lives of 49 people.

  • FBI: Evidence Indicates Siege Of Capitol Planned, Not Spontaneous

    Investigators now believe the attack on the US Capitol last week was not just a protest that spiraled out of control. CNN reports that the belief, early in the probe, will demand significant investigation. Evidence uncovered so far, including weapons and tactics seen on surveillance video, suggests the attack was planned. The FBI says some participants at the Trump rally at the Ellipse, outside the White House, left the event early, perhaps to retrieve weapons. They're also looking at travel and communications records to determine if they can build a case that is similar to a counterterrorism investigation. Corruption prosecutors and agents are also engaging in the hunt for wrongdoers, thanks to their expertise in financial investigations. The FBI reported that it has received more than 126,000 digital tips from the public regarding the attack on the Capitol.
