DeVore: Gun-ban lawsuits revving up with subpoenas for Pritzker, Welch, Harmon, others – Center Square

"(T)his judge made it very clear that the equal protection clause of the Illinois Constitution has been violated and he doesn't think the governor or the General Assembly will ever overcome,” attorney Thomas DeVore said. He argued the law, which doesn’t apply to retired or active duty law enforcement or others in the security sector, violates Illinoisans equal protections rights because the law enforcement community is treated differently.

There are hundreds of gun laws already in the criminal code. How about enforcing existing laws and send violent criminals to jail with enhanced penalties for using a firearm? This approach is not acceptable because doing that would impact the people who are mostly responsible, blacks and hispanics. Can’t do that so let’s pass this abhorrent SAFE T act and make life more comfortable for real criminals and let’s go after innocent gun owners who have done nothing wrong.
