Illinois ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban to be heard by SCOTUS

[jasper2408]

Here's the story so far:

The Supreme Court of the United States received and docketed an emergency application seeking an injunction against enforcement of Illinois’ “assault weapons” ban while the appeal process is ongoing.

The case is National Association for Gun Rights v. City of Naperville, Illinois. The plaintiffs include the National Association for Gun Rights, Robert C. Bevis, and Law Weapons, Inc. d/b/a Law Weapons and Supply.

The plaintiffs seek an en banc hearing before the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and an injunction against enforcement of the Protect Illinois Communities Act until the hearing is held.

The Supreme Court’s Office of the Clerk of Court responded to the emergency application by noting that Justice Amy Coney Barrett has ordered a briefing.

The Protect Illinois Communities Act bans the sale of AR/AK-style rifles in the state, allowing those who already own them to keep them as long they register the guns on a state database. The ban covers more than 160 firearms and Illinois residents have until January 1, 2024, to register those firearms in the database.

The emergency application is for National Association for Gun Rights v. City of Naperville, Illinois, No. 23A486 in the Supreme Court of the United States.

Well quoted (from elsewhere) from tyrants:

[FONT=&quot]Adolf Hitler - “To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Mao, 1949: “All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The Communist Party must command all the guns; that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.” [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Benito Mussolini – “On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Vladimir Lenin - “One man with a gun can control a hundred without one.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Joe Briben – “We must ban all guns, except for our own, taxpayer funded, private security forces that guard us 24 hours a day.”

Pritzker fits well within this cabal of fiends, his "friends" and mentors.

Do not give an inch on 2A.[/FONT]

Well, update.
Yesterday Justice Coney Barrett declined to step in and grant a preliminary injunction.
Such a step, by stepping ("interlocutory") in before the case is fully gone through the courts, is very rare by SCOTUS by accounts I have read, so guess this should not be a complete surprise, although there was hope.
But it does mean that a normal appeal can now be done. So the entire case is not done yet.
