Appeals Court Eliminates Second Amendment in Illinois
Timothy Birdnow
Just what part of "shall not be enfringed" don't these people get?
It's disgraceful that this will have to go to the U.S. Supreme Court and tie up the overworked court but that's where this is heading. Any rational court of law should have tossed this law before the state AG's opening statement was concluded.
A lower court had found the Illinois ban on such weapons unconstitutional but the 7h circuit overturned t
The law was passed in response to a deadly Independence Day shooting.
Why didn't Illinois beef up police presence instead of disarming people who need those guns since the cops are nowhere to be found?
The presiding judgre in the case said that the AR-15, which the law bans, is the "weapon of choice" of Americans and so should not be banned.
Actually it shouldn't matter what is their "weapon of choice"; firearms are protected by the Constitution. There is no exception. Part of the reason for that is the Founders wanted the People to have the tools they would need if the government should need to be removed by force. (BTW there is a federal law against planning to remove that same government by force, something the Founders thought would be necessary "the tree of liberty must be replenished by the blood of patriots and tyrants from time to time". To do that we must have an armed citizenry.
I don't know if tub-o-goo Pritzker know that or not; he's not real bright. But certainly the 7th circuit judges should know that.
The Supreme Court has already issued ruling with a strict interpretation of such laws.
The Left has systematically taken over most courts and it shows with rulings like this.
These judges should be impeached, if only for criminal stupidity.

The Left wants only themselves to have guns and obviously are doing everything in their power to make it happen. And they're counting on SCOTUS's being too busy to deal with every little pop-up like this one to try to sneak it through. Well, smart people aren't moving to Illinois.

Agreed. And you know what they will do? When they get power they will then argue SCOTUS is overworked and thus they will need to expand it. It will only be overworked because they forced it to be with endless frivolous suits and radical judges writing their own law but they won't say that - they will say they are overworked and we need more Justices. A lot of boneheads will fall for that too. (Adding Justices won't solve any backlog problem but you know people will think it will.)
You'd have to be nuts to move to Illinois these days. It's too bad; Southern Illinois, especially the Little Egypt area, is absolutely beautiful. And the rest of it is quaint German towns and lovely farm country. It should secede from Illinois and join either Missouri or Indiana.
