  • IL Gun and Magazine Ban

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to All on Tuesday, December 17, 2024 09:17:00
    Per the January 2025 edition of American Rifleman, the US District Court
    for the Southern District of Illinois struck down parts of the Protect
    Illinois Communities Act (PICA) that restricted "assault weapons" and "large-capcacity magazines" in the case of Barnett v. Raoul.

    Using the SCOTUS text-and-history test, the court found that these weapons
    and accessories are "common arms," but not "dangerous and unusual," which
    means that they are protected by the US Constitution's 2nd Amendment.

    This happened on November 8 of this year.

    I tried to find a link online to this info but was not successful.

    Good! Hopefully this will end up as a basis for challenging Connecticut's unconstitutional "assault weapon" and "large-capacity magazine" bans.

    Yes, we can sure hope so!
