BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled Illinois can keep in place a new law that bars the sale of certain semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines while court battles play out.
The order denying the injunction was issued by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who handles emergency appeals from this region.
The case involves challenges to both an ordinance passed by the city of Naperville that bans the sale of assault weapons and the Illinois state law that went into effect this year that bans the sale of certain weapons and large-capacity magazines. Those who already owned firearms covered by the state law were allowed to keep them, but they were required to register them with the state before January 2024.Among the guns classified as “assault weapons” under the Illinois law are various AR-15 style guns.
The state law also limits magazines, including nothing over 15 rounds for handguns or 10 rounds for long guns, like rifles.The bans were passed in the wake of a Fourth of July parade mass shooting in suburban Highland Park that left seven people dead. A federal trial court in February also declined to put the law on hold while the case continues, as did a federal appeals court.
