Assault weapons ban back in place for now after appellate court’s order – Capitol News IL

Last week’s ruling from the Southern District involved four separate lawsuits that were consolidated because they all centered on the same question. In that ruling, Judge Stephen P. McGlynn said that a temporary restraining order was justified because there was ample evidence to suggest the state law violates the Second Amendment right to bear arms as well as the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection in state laws – the opposite conclusion that judges in the Northern District reached.

Absolute insanity in the courts over firearms. 10 different courts there can be 10 different rulings. One court overturns another upholds. The system is a fiasco. There needs to be one firearm ruling and that ruling applies nationwide. Thousands of gun laws, federal, state, county, city, town village that contradict each other and confusions happens. Enforce existing laws, punish those who commit violent crimes with firearms and be done with it.
