  1. It would be pretty ballsy for the 9th to take this on appeal, and especially to stay it, after the SCOTUS told them to try again last time. But Dem activist judges don't seem to lack that do they?
  2. He's deliberately ignoring that the common use test is just a tool used to immediately determine that an arm cannot be banned. If an arm is not in common use then other criteria set forth Heller and Bruen apply as to whether or not they fall under 2A protection.
  3. He really just said a homeowner can hit an intruder with an automatic weapon without aiming?
  4. My God Easterbrook is a moron. He thinks an elderly person would shoot better with a fully automatic rifle?
  5. This lawyer is horrible, she's not citing Caetano and not pointing out that "in common use" is not the sole criteria. Common use is just an example of arms that can't be banned.
  6. Allowing enforcement of this obviously unconstitutional law will allow them to drag out the COA decision until well after the law goes into effect. SCOTUS, in an ideal world, should stay the stay of the injunction until final disposition of the case. Would also send a clear message to the 7th.
  7. Only in cases where exercising 1A rights interferes with the rights of others. For example, if you're holding a rally in a park it interferes with the rights of others to use the park at the same time, so each parties interests must be balanced. Carrying a gun in no way prevents other people from exercising their rights, so a fee or permit to carry is on very shaky ground IMHO.
  8. It only becomes binding case law when an appellate court rules. The state can simply let a lower court ruling stand and no case law is created, they lose only that case.
  9. I don't see an issue in a ruling against the state that they could appeal. A ruling against us could be appealed on 2A grounds.
  10. They are the same. Life is an inalienable right, but under law you can be executed for certain crimes.
  11. Let's just hope the people in those counties actually go out and vote in November. More than half of them didn't even bother to vote this year.
  12. I have one of those old cards still, it was actually my second one. It's from the late 80s, I cut the pic out of a picture someone took at a party. I cropped out the beer I was holding lol. You literally had to tape the picture to the proper spot in the application.
  13. I wasn't talking about Illinois law. Yes, we already have the FOID here. FOID should be voluntary, free, and suffice for private transfers.
  14. I know, that's why I'm proposing a new method for private sales. They claim they want background checks, this gives it to them. But what they really want is registration for future confiscation and fees to deter purchases.
  15. Obviously they can't require FFLs to perform a service for free, but they can provide for the buyer and seller to bypass the FFL. For example, a system where a potential buyer performs a NICS check on themselves (free of charge), and upon passing gets a code tied to their name good for 30 days. The seller can then check the code to see if it is valid. No fees, no FFL involved, no registration of any kind since no gun info is required nor even is it proof a transfer occurred.
  16. Unpossible, your FOID and CCL application will be rejected under the theory that anyone moving to Illinois must be insane and therefore ineligible to possess firearms.
  17. I once got a check in the mail for 17 cents as my part of a class action lawsuit I didn't even know I was in. It literally cost them more for the postage than the check!
  18. As far as I can tell it's legal, but "no guns" signs do have the force of law there so be sure to check. This site is a great resource: http://www.handgunlaw.us/
