Harrel v. Raoul

July 2, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petitions for writs of certiorari, leaving the Seventh Circuit's denial of a preliminary injunction against Illinois's assault‑weapon ban in place. In a brief statement, Justice Thomas noted the Court's lack of a comprehensive framework for determining which firearms are protected by the Second Amendment and criticized the Seventh Circuit's reasoning.
