Any bets that the State asks for an extension ?

 

1,000,000% they ask for and get an extension.

Yesterday, the Defendants-Appellants (The State) filed their Opening Brief in the 7th Circuit on time.

#2 is explicitly requesting interest balancing for a 2nd amendment question, where interest balancing was explicitly disallowed by NYSRPA v Bruen in 2022.

"Especially Dangerous" Umm what? Wasn't the standard dangerous and unusual then going to at the time....? So dangerous is okay, but not especially dangerous. Also, who defines what firearms are ED. Also, if it's ED how can it be dangerous? "Pardon me while I whip this out;"  So flaccid, would not be dangerous or especially so?

Does this mean I'm banned?

Well, obviously!

So basically all of the “military grade” weapons meant to do destruction on battlefields were in private hands when the 2A was written and the 2A was written so citizens could overthrow a tyrannical government with “military grade” weapons if necessary but, according to Illannoy, if we stare at the  simple wording of “shall not be infringed” long enough we will find the magic exclusion?  Huh…

 

Remind me again, do we drug test government employees and leadership in IL?

I would settle for an IQ test.

How about a test on "Constitutionality"?  Or maybe, a better understanding of their Oath of Office and how what they are doing violates that oath.
