Suburban gun shop owners were swamped with weekend crowds after a federal judge in the district court for the Southern District of Illinois issued an injunction Friday, blocking enforcement of the state’s January ban on military-style firearms.
When Roger Krahl, owner of RGuns in Carpentersville, heard about the injunction, he said the phones in his office lit up like a Christmas tree.
“Within 15 minutes, we had people coming in,” Krahl told the Tribune on Saturday. “There was a line outside the door before I could open up this morning. There will be no lunch today, because we’ll be going nonstop.”
Krahl told the Tribune he was “overjoyed” when he got word of the ruling by Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn.
Writing that “a constitutional right is at stake,” McGlynn found the plaintiffs in the case showed the law caused an “irreparable harm” by denying them the ability to “purchase their firearm of choice” and “exercise their right to self-defense in the manner they choose.”
Two other federal judges from northern Illinois have upheld the ban, and Democratic Attorney General Kwame Raoul has filed an appeal to McGlynn’s ruling and Raoul has also filed a motion in federal court to have the ruling not go into effect, pending the outcome of the appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit.

Democrats and their covid checks have no idea how much they have and continue to prop up the gun industry.
Dumber than dirt.
I would recommend buying in a different state and paying cash.
We have done business with Roger several times. He makes excellent products and stands behind his work.

Nice Izzy parts kits. I doubt that it really includes the disconnector pictured.
They should have been standing in line before the ban went into effect. The time to get an “assault weapon” is yesterday.
Thanks for the link. Last time I bought a firearm I went to Marengo.
I will check them out next time.
I don’t know about other states, but a Tennessee FFL dealer can only sell long guns to connecting states.
...buying in a different state...? when I lived in Virginia, only Virginia residents could legally buy firearms; here in Texas, only Texas residents can legally guy firearms, and even with private sales, you need to show legal Texas ID (drivers license or License To Carry, etc).... maybe I am off the mark....
long guns can be bought by non-residents in some state I believe
Biden’s new ad takes credit for signing this into law. It’s a federal statute glommed on top of a local misdemeanor statute. So, can you be “convicted” twice for only having committed one misdemeanor crime?

So, for example, as a Texas resident I can legally purchase "firearms, ammunition, reloading components, or firearm accessories" from private sellers in any state where it is legal for them to sell it to me.
ROAD TRIP!
