Of course. Don’t you know citizens and anyone visiting that state are going to be much safer because of that law? Wonder why the obozos never go back to visit?
Question: Most deaths by firearm in Illinois seem to come from gang violence in Chicago — how often is an “assault rifle” used in Chicago gang shootings?
My uncle lives there and his guns aren’t going anywhere.
“RIP Illinois”
?, they just opened the door for all the other cities and states to do the same. This is not just an Illinois problem, this inaction will set a precedent that affects the whole nation.
Premature. SCOTUS will take it up if they need to after the appeals court ruling.
I can see their point. Firearms labeled as “assault” or “assault style” can be really scary. Especially the dangerous end.
Of course my .44 magnum revolver (”the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off,”) could never be an “assault” or assault-style” weapon.
It’s just not scary enough . . .
Thank goodness.....Chicago is saved!
What does Illinois consider an “assault weapon” and where is a the line drawn for “high-capacity” magazines?
The Hill article left out the fact the Seventh Circuit has agreed to expedite the case. That is the reason SCOTUS declined to intervene in the case this early.
The arguments that would have started in 2024 have been moved to June 2023.
This should be interesting to watch. Naperville is a city of 150,000 about 30 miles from ChiTown. It is a city ordinance, not a state law.
This isn’t about states’ rights, rather just a local ordinance. This could open the door to sanctuary gun cities that cast aside state gun laws.
Interesting.
EC
The Supreme court is mostly full of hacks. They can’t even make two consistent decisions in a row.
.
They’re not assault rifles.

Certainly no reason to live in Illinois.
Why did they fail to stop this? Bad attorneys, bad prep, what?
They didn’t step in. They were just allowing the appeals court to decide first. My take is that they want to see if the appeals court gets it right and if Illinois appeals to the SC, they will affirm the lower court if they get it right and hear it if they get it wrong.
Unmentioned on the thread, this is the Illinois Supreme Court, not SCOTUS
OK, folks, this is NOT, NOT, NOT what it seems. Cool your jets, and don’t take any anti-depressants.
This is NOT a Supreme Court decision says that the Illinois ban is OK, it is simply a ruling on a preliminary injunction that was appealed to the Supreme Court. The 7th Circuit denied the injunction, and it was appealed before a decision was even made at the Circuit Court level, to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court *rarely* grants such preliminary injunctions before a lower court has made a decision on the particular case at hand, and all that the Supreme Court did here was to follow its tradition. This was “helped“ by the fact that the 7th Circuit consolidated several similar cases together and decided to significantly advance the hearings on those cases. It is likely that the 7th Circuit will allow the ban to remain in place, at which point the plaintiffs can then appeal to the Supreme Court (where I expect that the ban will be ruled unconstitutional). Only then will the Supreme Court actually pass judgment on the Illinois ban.
