SCOTUS Could Use Bump Stock Case to Derail Illinois Semi-Auto Ban
For several weeks now the Court has held on to a cert request filed in a half-dozen challenges to the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which banned hundreds of models of semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and handguns by labeling them “assault weapons”. A U.S. District Judge granted an injunction against the ban, but his decision was overturned by a three-judge panel on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which concluded that the law is likely to pass constitutional muster because the guns that are banned are “like” machine guns and are therefore beyond the scope of the Second Amendment.
