Justice Elena Kagan: AR-15s and AK-47s Are ‘Widely Legal and Bought by Many Ordinary Consumers​

Justice Elena Kagan wrote the opinion in the Supreme Court’s decision striking down Mexico’s lawsuit and described AR-15s and AK-47s as “both widely legal and bought by many ordinary consumers.”
Breitbart News reported that SCOTUS pointed to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) in striking down Mexico’s lawsuit in a unanimous June 5, 2025, decision.


In the opinion, Kagan noted how Mexico tried to point to the way certain guns were marketed and designed in hopes of getting traction with their lawsuit. She explained why the court rejected this approach and while so doing, highlighted how popular and “widely” owned AR-15s, AK-47s, and other similar rifles have become.

Hahaha!, talking out both sides of her ass; as she infringements our rights.

I believe it will be beneficial going forward to have a justice proclaim this fact on the record ... in common use.....

Soooooo... If Kagan says that ARs and AKs are popular and widely owned - doesn't this give credence against the current case where they are trying to ban "scary semi-auto rifles" ???

That tidbit of information will be ignored as it doesn't fit the agenda.

Sooooo a very liberal judge just agreed with us on gun rights?!???

Admitted that ARs and AKs are widely in usage by common citizens can be a HUGE win for us in an future cases.

Upside down world.

So either her army of supporters needs them or wants them, and yes army was used on purpose or she will change her mind when a lawsuit legalizing these comes before her.
Who knows maybe they will try to legalize these types of guns for the illegals to “defend” themselves against ICE. Maybe Hamas here needs a better way to kill Jews because the last idiot prepared for a year and as up with flaming bottles and a flaming backpack sprayer, both ineffective. I don’t trust them.

NO...............................SCOTUS DID NOT TAKE THE SNOPES CASE


It made------------ NO DECISION, on the legality of AW's and 20 round mags.

It will........................it admits that it will, and that such guns are in common use................and many states allow them..................

Somehow, I think that this poison for commies, was meant for Houchul and Pritzker to swallow and vomit.....................

Well, now there is a documented opinion of the Court saying they are tools of the common man. Which can now be added to the lawyer BS to support complaints of over reach and infringement. It is now on the record. So come on lawyers do some of the lawyer stuff. Great appeal stuff to have their cases reevaluated.

Cases cases can be re-filed and new cases started................that is why Kavanaugh said "in the next few years"...............takes time.
