My guess is hypocritical Fudds and Democrats, and “law-abiding” Vichycons.
Easy for me to say, right?
And only 2.5m FOID cards out of 10m adults? I wonder how many guns are held without the card…

Deliberate Indifference
Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denies motion for en banc hearing of challenge against Illinois’ gun and magazine ban. “No judge in regular active service has requested a vote on the petition for rehearing en banc, and all members of the original panel have voted to deny panel rehearing,” the docket said Monday. “The petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc is therefore DENIED.” [More]

Illinois Shows Disinterest in Judicial Conflict Challenge as More Evidence Emerges
It’s fair to ask how, in anyone’s universe, such conduct would not be grounds for removal from the court, disbarment from the practice of law, and criminal prosecution. [More]
Do radical Democrat prohibitionists really want to tell tens of millions of gun owners that the courts are no longer available to them to seek redress against infringements of their fundamental rights?

[T]he research and publicity this article has caused has led to a petition with the US Supreme Court on Caperton V Massey grounds, which was first brought up in this piece.
Take it from someone who knows what it’s like to be “bigfooted” out of a story by the media and latecomers.
