A federal judge denied a Naperville gun store owner and other plaintiffs a temporary restraining order against the Illinois assault weapons ban.
The ruling, issued by the Seventh Circuit Court, rejected the lawsuit partially on Second Amendment grounds, writing, "Because assault weapons are particularly dangerous weapons and high-capacity magazines are particularly dangerous weapon accessories, their regulation accords with history and tradition. Naperville and Illinois lawfully exercised their authority to control their possession, transfer, sale and manufacture by enacting a ban on commercial sales.
Two state lawsuits, filed in White County and Effingham, have succeeded in getting temporary restraining orders against the ban for thousands of plaintiffs, including failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Baily. This is the first ruling issued in federal court, and the first to deny a temporary restraining order against the ban.
