The U.S. Supreme Court declined to overturn Illinois’ ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
The ban, enacted after a mass shooting, imposes penalties for possession, sale, and purchase of such weapons and accessories.
Despite claims of violating Second Amendment rights, the court denied the emergency request, keeping the laws in place for now. (Trending: FBI Bribery Probe Caught Joe Biden’s Brother On Tape)
Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a version of the bill that included penalties for any individual who “carries or possesses… manufactures, sells, delivers, imports, or purchases any assault weapon or .50 caliber rifle.”
The verbiage includes statutory penalties for anyone who “sells, manufactures, delivers, imports, possesses, or purchases any assault weapon attachment or .50 caliber cartridge.”
The plaintiffs, including a gun shop owner and gun rights organization, plan to continue their legal challenge.
The Law Weapons and Supply firearm store owned by Robert Bevis, the National Association for Gun Rights, and the National Association for Gun Rights are claiming, “A right delayed is a right denied.”
“And every day these gun bans are enforced is a travesty to freedom,” continued Dudley Brown, the group’s president.
Adding, “We will be back to the Supreme Court as soon as our legal team finishes drafting our cert petition, and they will have to decide if they meant what they said in Heller and Bruen,” .
“In summary, the Seventh Circuit’s decision was manifestly erroneous,” argued the plaintiffs.
“In the meantime, plaintiffs and hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Illinois citizens are suffering irreparable injury because their fundamental right to keep and bear arms is being infringed.” their report continued.
The Supreme Court’s decision follows a trend of rejecting emergency petitions related to gun control.
