On Nov. 23, the court ordered additional briefing on two questions:   (1) whether the Second Amendment's plain text covers the conduct at issue in Naperville's ordinance banning the sale of so-called "assault weapons," and (2) if so, whether the "regulation is consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol a**'n, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111, 2126 (2022). Briefs are due on December 5, 2022, and should not exceed 20 pages. Mailed notice (lk, ) (Entered: 11/23/2022)

 

The defendant was also given additional time to answer the complaint and after a status report from the parties, the new briefing schedule was set.

 

"so-called".

Maybe they got some side-channel info that the judge wasn't going to grant it, so they want to try better.

And that really is just speculation.

 

Thanks.

Consideration for the motion for a temporary restraining order has been postponed at the plaintiff's request.

Defense's response brief is due December 5. Plaintiff's reply brief is due December 9.

 

Any speculation Euler?

There will be attempts at conversations with house and senate leadership on both sides but I don't know they will listen.  If they persist, there will be lawsuits. Period.

 

Of course, these things cost money. The Income and Real Estate Tax rebates that IL recently mailed out would make excellent sources for donations to help defray the cost of any litigation.

 

I'm just sayin'.

Like that Everytown lawyer who spoke about how Bruen, a National decision, doesn’t affect IL at all.

 

Article VI of the Constitution (second paragraph) says otherwise. To wit:

 

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

What I don't understand (and this goes for the entire gun control movement, not just Illinois) is why they'd attempt a ban that is suspect under Bruen and at risk of being overturned.

 

I get that there's a certain calculus to what they're doing, but aren't there folks on their side giving them an honest, unbiased take on things? If I'm a legislator, I'm gonna want to hear from someone who's gonna give me the unvarnished truth about my bills. How likely are we to get sued? What's our realistic chance of winning in court? I'm not gonna pick a fight I can't win, especially if it establishes a negative precedent for my side.

 

Well, above Flynn said "politics". I'd agree with that, plus add virtue signaling.

If so, they're going to "make that happen" right into a losing lawsuit for the state.

They will comply, and they'll vote D again in 2024 and 2026. It's for the children.

 

I think the odds are that more of them would be supportive of any legal action required to protect their firearms.....THEN they'd keep voting D.

Rural Tennessee is what we are holding out for it's on the schedule in a few years as long as prices and interest fall back down, close enough to drive back here to see the family for the weekend and close enough for weekend trips to the Gulf and much shorter vacation drives to Florida...

 

Drove through TN (both ways) on I-24 a couple of weeks ago. Very pretty down that way.

And (if it happens) it'll get shot down by the courts. But, it will make the Lefties feel good.

One of the things dems want to do is to tax retirement income and there is talk of applying an exit tax on public sector pensions.  People who leave IL will have their state pensions reduced. 

 

Would the Illinois Constitution have to be amended to tax pension income?

Drives me crazy to see Pritzker's political ads claiming he has solved the state's financial problems, when what he did was shuffle around some of the Federal funds that were thrown our way for Covid.

 

All the structural problems remain, and he has shown no indication of being even slightly interested in tackling them.

 

Allow me to give an example of the mentality that JB's campaign seeks to attract. A few months ago, there was a commercial running down here in the United States (a.k.a. Downstate) that featured an individual bragging that JB had postponed the state's gas tax increase so that "we get the money instead of the oil companies". Exactly how the state postponing an increase in it's own gas tax serves to decrease oil company revenues is beyond me. But hey...like I said...it's the mentality his campaign seeks to attract..

[Bailey or Pritzker]

I'm voting for Bailey, not Tulsi. And if she helps him get elected, good for her. And us as well.

..........Bailey's voice is a breath of fresh air. His "country twang"  as some people describe it, is not uncommon at all down state. As a matter of fact, it is very soothing over the voices of fat boy or any other Chicago political prostitutes.

 

Well, I've read that Abraham Lincoln's voice had a nasally twang. And we all know that was obviously disqualifying in his case.

I'm not seeing the JB commercials down here just so I can turn them off. And he certainly doesn't have electoral "coattails" downstate. Perhaps they aren't quite as confident as they'd like to be.

Every time you look at it, you can remind yourself that having the same physical card forever and ever was the goal for which ISRA bargained away private transfers.

 

That would be the ISRA that I cancelled my membership with.
