The Supreme Court has upheld an Illinois law banning high-powered semiautomatic weapons, denying a request for a preliminary injunction from the National Association for Gun Rights.
The law, signed by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, imposes penalties for possession, sale, or manufacture of assault weapons and .50 caliber rifles, as well as accessories that increase fire rate and certain magazines.
The law will remain in place during litigation in lower courts. (Trending: Kid Rock Rages Against ‘Woke’ Target)
The National Association for Gun Rights expressed intent to return to the Supreme Court, emphasizing the impact on freedom.
“A right delayed is a right denied, and every day these gun bans are enforced is a travesty to freedom. We will be back to the Supreme Court as soon as our legal team finishes drafting our cert petition, and they will have to decide if they really meant what they said in Heller and Bruen,” said Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights.
The law was previously upheld by the Illinois Supreme Court and the 7th District U.S. Court of Appeals.
