Additional Lawsuits Filed Against Weapons Ban

court-2

(Undated) – The lawsuit fighting the state’s assault weapons ban filed last week in Crawford County was just the first of many. Another complaint was filed yesterday in Effingham County by former Republican Illinois attorney general candidate Tom DeVore on behalf of more than 800 plaintiffs. That suit claims the law violates the Illinois Constitution. The Illinois State Rifle Association also announced plans to file a federal lawsuit challenging the legislation.
