- The U.S. Supreme Court now has another challenge against Illinois’ gun ban on its docket.
- Illinois on Jan. 10 banned the possession and sale of more than 170 semi-automatic firearms and magazines over certain capacities. A week later, lawsuits started to be filed challenging the constitutionality of the law. Cases are still pending in the district, appeals courts and now the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court docketed a case out of Naperville where plaintiffs challenged the city’s and state’s gun and magazine ban. Plaintiffs are seeking an emergency appeal of the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals three-judge panel ruling for the state.
