to a new statewide ban on the sale of assault-grade firearms barely a week after Gov. J.B. Prtizker signed that order into law.The ISRA and other pro-2nd Amendment groups on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit claiming the ban “infringes on the rights of law-abiding citizens” to possess such firearms and extended magazines “for the defense of self and family and other lawful purposes.”
The lawsuit seeks to have the ban deemed unconstitutional and prevent state officials from enforcing it. Joining the ISRA in its legal challenge are the Firearms Policy Coalition, the Second Amendment Foundation, a St. Clair County resident and a pair of Illinois gun stores. Gun control groups had fought for a statewide ban for years, but gained momentum after the Fourth of July mass shooting in Highland Park last summer that left seven people dead and dozens more injured.
