Illinois Weapons Ban Assaulted
The Protect Illinois Communities Act assault weapons ban was signed into law by Governor JB Pritzker as promised. The sweeping ban is reminiscent of the problematic 1994 Federal Assault Weapon Ban, and was almost immediately challenged in the courts.
An Ilinois Effingham County judge placed a temporary block on the ban, based on a lawsuit arguing the ban violated the state constitution’s due process and equal protection clauses. Judge Joshua Morrison agreed and ruled “The Court finds the Plaintiffs have shown a likelihood of success in relation to the equal protection clause of the Illinois Constitution.”
Federal lawsuits soon followed. AW1 Rod sends.
Federal judge in Illinois’ gun ban cases orders state to show ‘each and every item banned’
By Greg Bishop
Three federal lawsuits against Illinois’ gun ban made some movement Monday as a federal judge ordered a response from the state to show “each and every item banned.”
In the Southern District of Illinois, four cases are pending. One is from the Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois. Plaintiffs in that case filed a motion for preliminary injunction last week.
In three other cases, federal Judge Stephen McGlynn ordered state defendants to provide “illustrative examples of each and every item banned” under state law.
Thomas Maag, who brought the state level Crawford County case that was transferred to federal court, said the judge’s order will make it difficult for the state to comply.
“Because the ban is so all encompassing and uses a great many vague terms that I’m not even sure that exactly what is banned and that’s probably why judge McGlynn ordered the state to do that so that we could find out what exactly we are arguing about,” Maag told The Center Square on Monday.
Progs were all hugs and high-fives for Having Done Something in reply to the tragic Highland Park July 4th shooting. With the governor’s signature, the law banned the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, along with rapid fire devices. Now that adults are asking serious questions the completely expected fallback from Pritzker is to attack the plaintiffs.
Thanks, Rod.

“…Shall not be infringed…”
So good to see the draconian “gun control laws” have made Illy Noise, and particularly Chitcongo, such a safe and crime free Utopia.
It is control of We, The People, that is their goal.
