Illinois Supreme Court finds assault weapons ban constitutional

The Illinois State Supreme Court found a strict assault weapons ban passed after the Highland Park shooting to be constitutional in a ruling issued Friday.

The ruling came in response to a lawsuit that claimed that the ban violated the equal protections clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The court reversed a lower court finding and said that the law does not violate the equal protections clause. However, the Supreme Court did not comment on claims that the law also violated the Second Amendment.

This comes as no surprise. This ruling will be appealed before the US Supreme Court and get bitch slapped down.

  2. They have to infringe.
    It's their nature.
    We keep our freedom by staying armed against that cowardice.

  3. So what else did anyone expect? Supreme Court precedent (e.g. Heller, McDonald, and Bruen) be damned; Illinois can create its own laws and say FU to the Supreme Court.

  4. Agree SCOTUS (certainly in present makeup) will slap down. Problem is, this might not reach Supreme Court for a few YEARS. That’s horseshit when 2A is constitutionally prominent.

  7. Good.
    Hope the challengers file suit against the governor and legislators who imposed it.
    Way past time to revisit the Supreme-Court-fabricated extension of the 11th Amendment to protect state politicians.
