I’m starting to wonder if pushing all of these blatant unconstitutional laws is to get us used to normalizing “Judges soon creating/applying laws”?

Very true.

It was also very true in 1775:

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

advancing "ideology over public safety"

you mean like leaving citizens unprotected from criminals, the same criminals Government fails to arrest, let’s out on No Bail, fails to prosecute for having guns illegally, empties the jails and prisons? Government which calls for defunding the Police? That type of "ideology over public safety"?

Perfect example of “when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”

One one hand they are doing everything they can to take guns from NON-VIOLENT citizens. On the other hand, they are NOT prosecuting crime committed by VIOLENT criminals and NOT even attempting to take guns from VIOLENT criminals.

Morrison's ruling only applies to 850 plaintiffs listed in the lawsuit in Effingham County and four licensed gun dealers.

Before you get too excited. The rest of the state can go pound sand

I remain confident that the courts will uphold the constitutionality of Illinois' law, which aligns with the eight other states with similar laws

No, they will strike down the other eight too.
