Illinois state Supreme Court allows a ban on assault-style weapons to remain in place following months of legal challenges
State lawmakers in January passed and Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law a measure that would ban assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines. Those who already own such rifles face limitations on their sale and transfer and must register them with the Illinois State Police by 2024.
A Macon County Circuit Court judge found earlier this year that exemptions to the law, including for law enforcement officers and armed guards at federally supervised nuclear sites, violated the equal protection clause of the state’s constitution. The Illinois Supreme Court agreed to fast-track the state’s appeal. In a 20-page opinion, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed the circuit court’s judgment.
