Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to block an Illinois law banning assault-style weapons, leaving the measure in place while proceedings before a federal appellate court continue.
The decision from the justices, with no noted dissents, marks the second time they have declined to halt Illinois' statewide ban, which a gun rights advocacy group and gun shop owner argued violates the Second Amendment. It has also left in place a similar ordinance in Naperville, a suburb of Chicago.
The unsigned order from the court rejecting the request from the pro-Second Amendment organization comes on the heels of the latest spate of shootings, on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, campus and in Austin and San Antonio, Texas. The shootings have reignited now-familiar calls from President Biden for Congress to pass a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

A bad omen, none-the-less...................
Following the process.
Exactly - basically saying let the Appellate Court do their job until they don’t.
Yeah the SC does not like leap frogging unless your name is Smith and you are trying to destroy a man named Trump
thanks for the explanation- it still has hope then if the appellate court doesn’t deliver in favor of gun owners- we just gotta be patient and let the process play out-
They haven’t leap-frogged on that yet either. Still have to decide. I suspect they will do the same, let it go through the appellate. There is no argument to be made by Smith that justifies hold the March 4 date (other than election interference).
In true FR fashion, I dont always read the article, but I do try to find the relevant bits. :)
We are proud of you for upholding the FR’s longstanding tradition of never actually reading articles. You, sir, are a credit to the site.
We shall see
The Supremes have declined to hear cases before, that have not gone through the entire appeal process.
Well, it’s something we are all guilty of from time to time. I think I bat about .800.
Bingo. As a HELLINOIS resident who made it a point to read the local newspapers and watch at least two TV newscasts last night, I have to say that they're all LYING when they called this a "victory" for JB Pricktster and essentially presented the AWB as a "done deal".
The lying liberal lamestream media in this state just so pisses me off, it's the reason I never look at it, yesterday being an exception. They didn't disappoint with their "spin."
Nonetheless, those of us who watch Freedom's Steel on YouTube (Todd Vandermyde, former NRA lobbyist) know exactly what happened and exactly what the result really was.
It will not be long until the USSC does finally take up this case and strike it down, along with HELLINOIS' Firearms Owner ID requirement (TAX to use your rights.) Rumor has it that day is coming in January, 2024.
For those who want the pure, unadulterated truth, follow Freedom's Steel on YouTube. Todd knows his stuff.
The way things have been going around 2nd amendment jurisprudence, it is impossible to know what might happen. Is IL going to come in and argue these are military weapons? If so that could lead to an even broader interpretation of the 2nd amendment because at the time of the founding, there were no restrictions preventing citizens from having the same arms that the military did.
Unless your name is smith.

Precisely....so many people fall for this hyped crap to attract eyeballs when it’s nothing more the standard process.
Also if you read some of the comments below the video, Pritzker's comments after the SCOTUS ruling is that "we don't want automatic rifles in Illinois."
