NRA, lawyer who helped win U.S. Supreme Court case train sights on Illinois’ assault weapons ban – Chicago Sun-Times

Although the NRA is not listed as a plaintiff, it joined the National Sports Shooting Foundation to bring forth the suit, similar to what it did in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which was ultimately taken up to the U.S. Supreme Court.  In that case, the court struck down New York’s concealed carry gun law with a 6-3 majority, ruling the law prevented law-abiding citizens from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.
