Illinois ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Overturned…For Now
Illinois, one of the most anti-gun, anti-2A states in the nation, has just seen a reprieve from an unconstitutional law enacted two years ago. Federal Judge Stephen McGlynn has permanently blocked the “assault weapons” ban portion of the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA). The state has already filed an appeal, and only time will tell whether the injunction will stand or be overturned.
