IL assault weapon ban temporarily blocked by federal judge in southern Illinois

[M14 Shooter]

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- A federal judge in East St. Louis issued an order Friday blocking enforcement of Illinois' ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines until a lawsuit challenging the law is resolved.

Judge Stephen P. McGlynn, of the Southern District of Illinois, said the law known as the Protect Illinois Communities Act, or PICA, is likely to be found unconstitutional when the case goes to trial and the plaintiffs in the consolidated cases will suffer harms without a preliminary injunction to block its enforcement.

My favorite part:

"More specifically, can PICA be harmonized with the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution and with Bruen?" McGlynn asked rhetorically in the opinion. "That is the issue before this Court. The simple answer at this stage in the proceedings is 'likely no.'"

Winning.
