Downstate judge rules Illinois assault weapons ban violates state constitution
A downstate judge has entered a new ruling against Illinois' assault weapons ban.
Have we all forgotten on the left works? Business as usually until a SCOTUS ruling and then, like NY, IL will ignore it and pass restrictions on where you can posses one through a permitting process that if violated results in a felony conviction and loss of the 2A right. For us it's repeat the appeal all over again. This is the strategy and it is working.And they may .The Tower of Anti-Gun Laws built from Jenga Blocks is coming down one case at a time... problem is by the time it's truly ready to fall, the Left is going to either kick off a Civil War or start WWIII which will allow them "emergency powers" to do things they truly should be shot for.
I haven't been counting my chicks yet... and I plan to keep it that way until after a decision to see where we are at.We will know more in a few weeks here.
Maybe their choice has to do with venue? It may be a better path this way than through federal court?Illinois Supreme Court will almost certainly reverse, unless another case on point makes it to SCOTUS first. From there it’s a writ of cert to SCOTUS with nationwide effect if they grant it, but likely to wait in line behind other cases in the pipeline.
Interesting choice to go after this in county court rather than federal district court. A 2A case can be started either place. In federal court you have an appeal as of right to the federal circuit from the district. In state court it goes up appeals to the highest state court before you can appeal directly to the US Supreme Court on federal issues if they take it, which they rarely do.
I agree, and while hopeful I think, if your referring to the 20th of March hearing date I'm taking a "long game " approach. I feel certain that if ruled in our favor I nearly guarantee an appeal to an en banc panel of more judges of the second. Basically, this won't be over this month as thier goal is to prolong this as much as possible and another appeal does just that. They don't want or care that;I haven't been counting my chicks yet... and I plan to keep it that way until after a decision to see where we are at.
And they may .
Over the past few years, there have been an awful lot of things which people would either have been shot for or hung for, not so very long ago.The Tower of Anti-Gun Laws built from Jenga Blocks is coming down one case at a time... problem is by the time it's truly ready to fall, the Left is going to either kick off a Civil War or start WWIII which will allow them "emergency powers" to do things they truly should be shot for.
Yup. Here at home the kettle is on the stove and fire is lit. In time the water will come to a boil.Both the Civil War and WWIII are already under way.
