Law professor Jonathan Turley suggests Democrats’ state-level AR-15 bans have become so egregious the Supreme Court of the United States may finally step in.
Virginia is making headlines for their most recent ban, which cleared the state’s legislature on March 10. 2026. It bans the sale, transfer, and possession of AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols, but was able to pass by including a grandfather clause that allows those who legally own them to keep them once the ban is in effect.
Minnesota state Sen. Matt Klein (DFL) is pushing a similar AR-15 ban, but with the additional facet of allowing current owners of banned firearms to keep them by agreeing to allow law enforcement to enter their home to verify storage law compliance.
Turley zeroed in on the proposed Minnesota ban, noting:
What makes the Minnesota law so distinctive is the provision on home inspections. The law states that, in addition to securing state permission or certification for the possession of existing weapons, owners must “agree to allow the appropriate law enforcement agency to inspect the storage of the device to ensure compliance with this subdivision.”
