A downstate judge is expected to rule Friday on a temporary restraining order for the IL assault weapon ban passed earlier this month.
A downstate judge is expected to rule Friday on whether to grant a temporary restraining order to put a "pause" on a new law that bans many assault weapons in Illinois.Since then, it's faced push-back from gun owners and even some area sheriffs.An emergency hearing was held Wednesday to try to stop the new Illinois assault weapons law from being enforced.
The suit was filed by Tom DeVore, last year's Republican nominee for Illinois attorney general, on behalf of hundreds of plaintiffs."The Illinois legislature wants to pass a law that restricts gun rights? Then they need to pass it procedural appropriate," DeVore said."Whether a restriction is good, bad, illegal or not, or violates the Second Amendment, those are for the federal court.
The suits name a number of defendants, including Gov. JB Pritzker and Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly. It calls the law unconstitutional, saying this assault weapons law was adopted for "self serving political purposes."
