Illinois' Assault Weapons Ban Faces 1st Legal Challenge With Emergency Hearing, Hundreds of Plaintiffs

"The ISRA leads the charge in opposing Illinois' new gun legislation, which we believe to be unconstitutional," a statement from Richard Pearson, Executive Director of the ISRA said Tuesday."We will be filing a federal lawsuit imminently."The legislation bans the delivery, sale and purchase of any assault weapons in the state, and affects dozens of specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, .50-caliber guns, attachments and rapid-firing devices.

Five states — California, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey and New York — require registration of guns purchased previous to the law, Schardt said. The other three states with bans are Delaware, Maryland and Massachusetts. Their arguments center around their stance that the bill, which makes it illegal for Illinois residents to purchase, transfer or manufacture assault weapons and extended magazines, violates the Second Amendment.

Governor JB Pritzker is the worst governor in Illinois history

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.”

My brother used to work for an AR-15 parts manufacturer in Princeton. They lost the contract when it was discovered most of the weapons the parts were put in didn't work.

Sounds like the plaintiff's just gave the state a nice list of where the guns are located. I thought they were against gun registration?

Illinois need to hold your ground and get as many guns out of our state as possible. that madness has to stop.

Where’s the rush when schools are being shot up by the same guns? Children are murdering each other but yes let’s protect the gunmakers right to profits. FOH.

First Lawsuits Filed Against Illinois Assault Weapons Ban, With More to ComeOpponents of Illinois’ new ban on assault weapons and extended magazines promised legal action, and at least one suit has already been filed against the measure in Effingham County. Il government and Prizker is embarrassing. The lawsuits will expose just how inept they are I personally can't own a gun...but there's no better time then the present to probably own one. Many people wishing to break the law have very powerful guns. You can't take a butter knife to a gun fight.
