A federal appeals judge in Chicago has put a hold on last week's ruling that blocked enforcement of Illinois' assault weapons ban.
Appellate Judge Frank Easterbrook agreed Thursday to stay the ruling, at the request of the state's lawyers, while last week's decision is reviewed by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.As a result, Illinois' assault weapons ban appears to be back in effect - for now. The move comes after the appellate court earlier declined to block the ban.
State lawyers appealed to the 7th Circuit and, on Tuesday, asked it to block McGlynn's ruling. They called it "unprecedented" and noted that it conflicts with two rulings earlier this year in Chicago's federal court.They also said it "is the only federal decision in the country" they are aware of that "enjoins restrictions on assault weapons" or large-capacity magazines under a decision handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court last year.
They also wrote that McGlynn's ruling followed, but did not acknowledge, the 7th Circuit's recent decision not to block the law in a case that had reached it earlier.
