In light of Bruen it’s hard to see how this law passes Constitutional muster. Even the Illinois courts have to acknowledge that.
But this is Illinois, so….

There are three separate lawsuits, filed by three different sets of plaintiff's in at least two different counties.
The counties that lawsuits were filed in are Second Amendment friendly. Hopefully they'll get put in front of a Second Amendment friendly judge. Chances are good there, I think.
I'd be shocked if at least one downstate judge didn't put an order in place suspending this un-Constitutional law, which should then force this through the state courts quickly.
I'm no lawyer (never played one on TV, didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night either) and my own opinion is that Governor Fatass here in Hellinois is going to appeal this all the way up to the US Supreme Court.

I think none of Illinois’ restrictions, starting with the FOID card, pass constitutional muster: you can’t require a license to exercise a right. The ludicrous restrictions on where you can carry concealed will be the next to go. Maybe the ban on fully automatic rifles might standup at SCOTUS, but that’s about it.

Of course he'll lose, as he should.
I've been reading that the FOID and Conceal/Carry permit here in HELLINOIS are on the verge of being declared un-Constitutional as well. Have you been reading same?

Joe Biden says I need an F15 fighter jet. I want it.
To: Lurker
Yes, and I think the Supremes are wise to Illinois’ games with gun control laws by now. There shouldn’t be any “we’ll give you 6 months to correct this” nonsense anymore.

IIRC in Caetano v Massachusetts SCOTUS ruled,among other things, that a firearm need not have existed at the time of the Founding to be protected under 2A and that a weapon needn't be suited for use by the military to be protected under 2A. I wonder if that means that SCOTUS would strike down laws like this.

Remember, Joe says he will use f-15s against us Americans and Eric Swalwell said he would use nukes against US citizens. That is the mindset of Democrats.

The current make-up of the Illinois Supreme Court is VERY liberal, with five of the seven being women; three of the seven being black.
The Constitution will not fare well here.
