Clarence Thomas signals he's coming for assault weapons bans: analysis

The Supreme Court just had a significant term of decisions on gun-related cases, from the legality of "bump stocks" to the Second Amendment rights of accused domestic abusers. But far-right Justice Clarence Thomas would like to go further, taking aim at state bans on assault weapons.

According to Newsweek, the Supreme Court declined to take up a case in Illinois reviewing whether their assault weapon ban is constitutional — but only because they want to wait and see how the lower courts resolve the issue.
