Illinois' Assault Weapons Ban Faces 1st Legal Challenge With Emergency Hearing, Hundreds of Plaintiffs
"The ISRA leads the charge in opposing Illinois' new gun legislation, which we believe to be unconstitutional," a statement from Richard Pearson, Executive Director of the ISRA said Tuesday."We will be filing a federal lawsuit imminently."The legislation bans the delivery, sale and purchase of any assault weapons in the state, and affects dozens of specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, .50-caliber guns, attachments and rapid-firing devices.
Five states — California, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey and New York — require registration of guns purchased previous to the law, Schardt said. The other three states with bans are Delaware, Maryland and Massachusetts. Their arguments center around their stance that the bill, which makes it illegal for Illinois residents to purchase, transfer or manufacture assault weapons and extended magazines, violates the Second Amendment.
