Chicago AR ban lifted - Mr645 - 05-01-2023
Received an e-mail from a big mail order firearm retailer saying that rifle shipments to Illinois will be prioritized and asked customers in other states to please be patient in their orders take a couple of extra days.

I wonder how many people will die because of this one action.

Illinois state law (not City of Chicago) on hold pending appeals.
Only went into effect in January of this year.

Remember, southern Illinois is western Kentucky and eastern Missouri.

Chicago is all handguns, rifles shouldn't have any effect

Live by the sword, die by the sword.
I hope all these gun advocates opposing sensible gun regulation meet their fate.

History will judge us as being totally ineffective at addressing an obvious problem.

Thanks God nuclear weapons were not available when they passed the second amendment.

I think what people are failing to realize, is that if the PICA legislation gets gutted, is that each and every legislaturist in Illinois who voted for this, voted to strip their constituents of Right guaranteed by the Constitution. And they knowingly did this after the Bruen decission was passed. They KNEW it was a civil rights violation, and they didn't care. THEY DIDN'T CARE THEY VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION.
"Can the senseless crimes of a relative few be so despicable to justify the infringement of the constitutional rights of law-abiding individuals in hopes that such crimes will then abate or, at least, not be as horrific? More specifically, can PICA be harmonized with the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution and with Bruen? That is the issue before this Court. The simple answer at this stage in the proceedings is “likely no.” and "The Supreme Court in Bruen and Heller held that citizens have a constitutional right to own and possess firearms and may use them for self-defense,” the judge wrote in his ruling. “
You all should read the judges court order https://www.dropbox.com/s/kw25u7qgn6wjhq2/%28Barnett%29%20Order%20of%20PI%20of%20042823.pdf?dl=0
The California magazine capacity ban was ruled in violation as well, but the district court in California is dragging its feet, and at some point the Feds will step in. Washington's Assault Weapon ban that just went into effect, as well as their magazine ban from last summer should be stayed within a day or two, especially in light of the Illinois stay. Washington's I-1639 from a few years ago was already kicked back to the district court that upheld it, in light of the Bruen decision. Washington is dragging its feet as well. Likely a result of their governor and AG applying pressure. The Oregon ban just had paperwork filed last week, and their should be a temporary ruling this week.
If this was a Right that most people here cherished, you would be kicking and screaming, and foaming at the mouth. But since You don't value it, screw those who do.
Really hypocritical that you expect people to value your rights, when you don't value theirs, or at least respect that their views may be different, but it is their Right to have them.
