National Association for Gun Rights Appeals Connecticut “Assault Weapons” Ban to the U.S. Supreme Court

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, October 3, 2025

GREENVILLE, SC – The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) announced today that its legal team has filed an appeal to the United States Supreme Court challenging Connecticut’s ban on so-called “assault weapons” and standard-capacity magazines.

The appeal follows a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which upheld the Connecticut ban and, in doing so, openly defied existing Supreme Court precedent established in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022).

“The Second Circuit’s decision is one of the most brazen acts of defiance toward Supreme Court precedent we’ve seen yet,” said Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights. “If left standing, it would effectively render Heller and Bruen meaningless and give rogue judges the power to gut the Second Amendment.”

NAGR’s case, National Association for Gun Rights v. Lamont, is widely considered a key test for whether the Supreme Court will finally address the constitutionality of bans on AR-15s and similar firearms. Justice Brett Kavanaugh recently remarked that the Court should and likely will “address the AR-15 issue soon, in the next term or two.”

In its ruling, the Second Circuit conceded that AR-15-style rifles are in “common use,” but nevertheless argued that governments may still ban them. That position directly contradicts the Court’s holding in Bruen, where the “common use” standard was highlighted as central to evaluating restrictions on arms.

“This case isn’t just about Connecticut,” Brown added. “The Second Circuit effectively invited other jurisdictions to ignore Supreme Court precedent, daring the Justices to step in. It’s time for the Court to slam the door on lower-court defiance and reaffirm that the Second Amendment means what it says.”

If the Supreme Court grants review, the case could become the defining battle over the legality of so-called “assault weapons” bans nationwide, with sweeping consequences for the future of gun rights in America.

The National Association for Gun Rights is a 501(c)(4) organization headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, dedicated to defending the Second Amendment and fighting for the rights of peaceable Americans to keep and bear arms. Since its founding in 2001, NAGR has worked to hold anti-gun politicians accountable and promote maximum individual liberty by mobilizing more than 4.5 million members and grassroots activists nationwide.

We are all deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Paul Di'Anno earlier today. Paul's contribution to Iron Maiden was immense and helped set us on the path we have been travelling as a band for almost five decades. His pioneering presence as a frontman and vocalist, both on stage and on our first two albums, will be very fondly remembered not just by us, but by fans around the world.

“It’s just so sad he’s gone,” comments Steve Harris. “I was in touch with him only recently as we texted each other about West Ham and their ups and downs. At least he was still gigging until recently, it was something that kept him going, to be out there whenever he could. He will be missed by us all. Rest in peace mate ⚒⚒.”

We were very grateful to have had the chance to catch up a couple of years ago and to spend time with him once more. On behalf of the band, Rod and Andy, and the whole Iron Maiden team, we extend our deepest sympathies to Paul's family and close friends. Rest In Peace Paul.

If your rights are tied to citizenship, you don't have any rights. You have privileges that the government allows you.

Rights are natural and inherent to every person. God-given.

[Tom Grieve @AttyTomGrieve]

I just learned and was given permission to share that Paul has passed. A true lion of men, a paragon of integrity, the gun dad of the internet, and a role model for us all. May he continue inspire and call us to be better and do more. Rest in peace. #paulharrell #2ndamendment

The Second Circuit has ruled that a Connecticut police officer is not entitled to qualified immunity after handcuffing, detaining, and conducting a warrantless search on the plaintiff's car because they "presented a facially valid firearms permit and disclosed that he possessed a firearm pursuant to the permit": https://t.co/RpEszImDp2
