Acting on Friday a panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals stated, by a 2-1 vote, that AR-15s are not protected by the Second Amendment because they are scary and can be converted easily to fully automatic weapons.  

It seems certain that the case will be further appealed.

The case is Bevis v City of Naperville, #23-1353.

In a similar note SCOTUS has already agreed to hear the "bump stocks are machine guns" case.
