A downstate judge on Friday struck down the ban on high-power firearms and high-capacity ammunition magazines that Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law earlier this year, a ruling the Illinois attorney general’s office immediately appealed to the state Supreme Court.
The scope of the ruling was a subject of dispute, with the attorney for the state lawmaker who was the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit arguing that it applies statewide and Pritzker’s office contending it does not.
“We expected political grandstanding from those more beholden to the gun lobby than to the safety of their constituents and today’s ruling comes as no surprise,” Pritzker spokesman Alex Gough said in a statement, adding that “the governor is confident” the law ultimately will be held constitutional

The one judge who has upheld it in Naperville has been reversed twice in her previous decisions. So expect this thing to be tossed in fairly short order.

“Deshawn Danzler got one heck of a gift last February when a federal judge gave him a sentence of time served instead of twelve years in prison for refusing to testify to a grand jury about a gang-related shooting that killed an innocent bystander. U.S. District Judge Ronald Guzman was apparently swayed by Danzler’s plea to have an opportunity to turn his life around, despite the judge calling Danzler’s refusal to cooperate “extremely upsetting and serious”.”
The above linked article is a classic example of the gun laws in liberal states not being enforced by progressive prosecutors and judges. As has been discussed here before, the left constantly wants to pass new gun laws while not enforcing the laws already on the books. They don’t really want to take the guns from criminals or even stop crime. What they want is to take guns from law abiding citizens who stand in their way of total control over the people.

Here’s a good explanation of what happened. Todd is a member of our gun club and the IL gun law guru.

When judges don’t rule the way the little far left fascist bass turds want them too, the little Nazi Snowflakes and Zeros sure do start pissin’ and moanin’. Damn crybabies. Pay your damn student loans, CRYBABIES. Damn deadbeats. And have somebody change your diaper. Whew. You sure do stink.
By his own admission, someone like Joe Biden considers 9mm to be high powered - enough to blow out a lung out of the body. This is only the beginning of the nonsense; they take and take and take once they are given anything.
Yeah...silliness and ambiguity. I know a guy that was parroting Biden’s idiocy on 9 mm terminal ballistics. He owns several of .38 revolvers, which he assured me were less powerful than the 9 mm.
thnaks- he sounds to understand it pretty well- the left intentionally make things extremely complicated-
Todd is the real deal.

Is that a tribute to ATF behind him?
It is indeed. He’s a funny guy.

He needs an inert bomb.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
News companies can at least get journalists who can look up Wikipedia articles on the subject.
They get this wrong every time.
The club we belong to has a Cannon and Mortar group. They’re loads of fun.
Saw a guy shooting a 4 pound Parrot gun there one day. He’s a hoot. Then there’s the .50 cal shooters group. They’re scary. They issue “1 Mile” patches.

This is how they keep winning and shifting everything leftwards -- by always pushing where they can, and never giving up a single inch of gain without a fight.
Good scary, or dangerous scary?
Todd does awesome work and a great job on explaining why this Prickster led clusterdooodle will go down in flames when it reaches the USSC, assuming the Hellinois Supreme Court is dumb enough to uphold the unconstitutional ban.

A good friend is a member of the cannon group and he’s a hoot! He recruited me into the club. Just renewed my membership too.
