Assault rifle sales ban goes into effect in Naperville after federal judge denies temporary injunction – Chicago Tribune/MSN

U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall said in opinion that both Naperville's ban passed in August and Illinois' ban approved five months later are "constitutionally sound...Illinois and Naperville compellingly argue their laws protect public safety by removing particularly dangerous weapons from circulation."

Someone should have asked the Judge exactly what is an “assault weapon”.

Hopefully this gets appealed quickly and this propagandizing Judge who is ruling on politics and her own beliefs rather than the law will get slapped down by the appeals court.

Perhaps U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall should check statistics about the number of long guns involved in shootings.

Just a teaser … most shootings/assaults are perpetrated with handguns, not so-called ‘assault weapons.’

“their laws protect public safety by removing particularly dangerous weapons from circulation”

No – they remove constitutional rights of law abiding citizens. Another win for the criminals.
