After court ruling, local leaders say they will enforce state gun ban 'as any other statute'

Local law enforcement officials said Friday they will enforce the state's ban on sales of high-powered weapons, following an Illinois Supreme Court ruling upholding the law.

Friday's ruling by the state court did not address the Second Amendment issue, because the plaintiffs in the case did not raise it, according to the ruling.Conroy said she has not heard anything from DuPage Sheriff James Mendrick since the decision came out. She referred to their joint news release from a few months ago and said she anticipates he will comply.

Mendrick and Tadelman said in January, when the law was signed, they believed it violated people's Second Amendment constitutional right to bear arms. Robert Bevis, owner of Law Weapons and Supply, has been waging a court fight with the city over its local ordinance passed last year banning the sale of certain high-powered weapons.
