Second Amendment Roundup: Viramontes Is Not Moot

In the Viramontes v. Cook County case pending in the Supreme Court, Cook County has filed a Suggestion of Mootness in response to a Motion to Dismiss Petitioner Cutberto Viramontes from the case. The question presented in the case is: "Whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles." Cook County argues that standing in the challenge is based on Mr. Viramontes' wish to obtain an AR-15 style rifle, but Christopher Khaya, the only other individual petitioner in the case, only wishes to obtain an AK-47 style rifle. Mr. Khaya, the argument goes, does not have standing to litigate the question presented because he did not state he wishes to obtain an AR-15.
