• There is open rebellion in Illinois against the state’s new ban on certain guns the legislature deems assault weapons.
• Lawsuits already have been filed and more are in the works.
• Last week, on the final day of the 102nd General Assembly, the legislature and Gov. J.B. Pritzker approved a ban on certain semi-automatic firearms. No future sales are allowed. Guns already in possession must be registered with Illinois State Police by Jan. 1, 2024. Non compliance can bring a Class 2 felony. Magazines of more than 10 rounds for rifles and 15 rounds for handguns also are banned. Possession could be a petty offense and a fine of $1,000 for each violation.
• Dozens of Illinois’ 102 counties have said they will not enforce the law.
