(Undated) — The state’s gun owners are waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court to offer an opinion on Illinois’s “Assault Weapons Ban.” Yesterday Justice, Amy Coney Barrett, denied an emergency request for an injunction. A similar request was denied by the court in May. Governor, JB Pritzker, says he still believes the law will pass constitutional muster.
The state is operating under “emergency” rules in place for registering assault weapons. The legislative committee that approves them won’t meet again until January.
