The battle over the enforcement of the Protect Illinois Communities Act — the new law that includes a state assault weapons ban — is set to intensify. Multiple county sheriffs across the state said they won’t enforce it and others are filing lawsuits.
Former Republican candidate for Illinois attorney general Tom DeVore, who is representing those plaintiffs as well as more than 1,600 others in a fresh complaint filed Monday, said the challenge to the law was not centered on the 2Amendment is involved, it’s a gun regulation so it’s going to implicate the 2Amendment at some point in time in the federal jurisprudence,” said DeVore.
“I think that these claims have all been adjudicated in the past. These are almost identical to the types of claims that they had filed during COVID-19 which almost all of them – in fact I believe all of them — have been struck down by the courts,” said Morgan. “I think we are rehashing some of the same arguments about what the legislature should do and how. I’m confident this will be overturned.”“We shouldn’t be comparing apples to oranges,” said DeVore.
“This really is a pretty limited ruling,” said Morgan. “The law went into effect immediately to ban the sale of these semi-automatic weapons, the sale of these high-capacity magazines. So that is in effect for almost 13 million other people … There’s a number of lawsuits that are going to be filed. That was always going to be the case. I don’t think anyone’s surprised by that.”
