  1. Wording from ISRA In a serious blow to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s assault weapons ban, the 5th District Appellate Court affirmed on Tuesday Effingham County’s Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), and goes beyond the original 866 plaintiffs in the original lawsuit, and is now binding against all courts statewide. The lawsuit is based on alleged violations of the Illinois Constitution. One alleged violation is the Equal Protection Clause, because the Assault Weapons Ban provides exemptions for certain groups – for instance, active and retired law enforcement are exempted from the ban, as well as active military and private security guards. Retired military, however, much like the general population, are not exempted from the ban. DeVore argues that these exemptions create unconstitutional classes of citizens where legislators have decided who is subject to the ban and who is not. The Equal Protection argument was enough for the Appellate Court to affirm Effingham County Judge Joshua Morrison’s TRO. Last Wednesday, White County Judge T. Scott Webb heard arguments from representatives of Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s office, and from Tom DeVore, who is representing over 1,600 plaintiffs, including former Illinois State Senator and Republican nominee for governor Darren Bailey; 68 federal firearms dealers and 92 counties, saying the case is “under advisement” and that he would issue a ruling after further review. However, this Appellate Court ruling will also bind Judge Webb, and will force him to issue a TRO.
  2. This is the most retarded thing I have read since the foid card began. Kiss online ammo sales goodbye! Does anyone seriously think retailers are going to take the step to check foid card? No, they will put SORRY, NO SALES TO ILLINOIS. AND IF A DEALER DID AGREE TO using that system, HOW HAS THAT SYSTEM worked out in the last year or so? 5. Ammunition sales: Due to not having the expiration date on the cards, dealers will have to verify the validity of the card electronically or by phone for ammo sales
