St. Louis Couple Regains AR-15 Rifle Five Years After BLM Protest Confrontation

The McCloskeys, a St. Louis couple who were at the center of a 2020 confrontation with Black Lives Matter protesters, have regained possession of their semiautomatic AR-15 rifle five years after the incident. The rifle was temporarily seized by authorities in response to a court order. The McCloskeys' case is seen as a rare victory for gun rights advocates in Missouri. The couple's situation drew national attention and sparked debates about gun laws and free speech.
