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.

The coalition noted that Northwestern's November 28, 2025 federal resolution agreement followed the federal government's freeze of more than $1 billion in university research funding amid investigations into antisemitism and other compliance concerns. “It is chilling that in 2026, at my own alma mater, we are witnessing Jewish and Israeli students being singled out and excluded from a celebration of cultural diversity,” said Northwestern alumna Wendy Sachs in a statement.
