A downstate judge issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting the state from enforcing the ban against hundreds of gun owners and four gun dealers.

Illinois Senate President Don Harmon said in a statement,"We passed the Protect Illinois Communities Act to get dangerous weapons off the street and create a safer state. This ruling will be appealed. We look forward to our day in court to zealously advocate for our neighbors who are weary of the gun violence epidemic."

But DeVore has said the new assault weapons is unconstitutional. At issue is how lawmakers passed it – he says, in part, by pushing it through too quickly. CBS 2 Legal Analyst Irv Miller said why the lawsuit was filed in downstate Effingham County is no accident. Judge Morrison was previously State's Attorney in downstate Fayette County, and sued the state over a sweeping criminal justice reform bill on similar arguments.
