BREAKING: Seventh Circuit, in 2-1 vote, upholds Illinois and local laws banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. media.ca7.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/Opin...

The State of Illinois, in the legislation that lies at the heart of these cases, has decided to regulate assault weapons and high-capacity magazines—a decision that is valid only if the regulated weapons lie on the military side of that line and thus are not within the class of Arms protected by the Second Amendment. Several municipalities have done the same. The plaintiffs in these cases challenge that conclusion. Using the tools of history and tradition to which the Supreme Court di- rected us in Heller and Bruen, we conclude that the state and the affected subdivisions have a strong likelihood of success in the pending litigation. We therefore affirm the decisions of the district courts in appeals No. 23-1353 and 23-1793 refusing to enjoin these laws, and we vacate the injunction issued by the district court in appeals No. 23-1825, 23-1826, 23-1827, and 23-1828.

So I guess the founding fathers included the phrase "shall not be infringed" just to improve poetic flow?

Assault weapons must be banned. Assault weapons kill too many Americans.

Here’s my report at Law Dork on an unexpectedly big day for gun regulation news: www.lawdork.com/p/illinois-g...

Appeals court upholds Illinois assault-weapons ban, SCOTUS takes "bump stock" case
Appeals court upholds Illinois assault-weapons ban, SCOTUS takes "bump stock" case

Two significant gun regulation developments — days before Supreme Court arguments in a third gun-related case. And: A second trans care case at SCOTUS.
