Notes from the Resistance
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul appealed to the 5th District Appellate Court in Mount Vernon Monday to overturn a temporary restraining order against the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which bans dozens of handguns and rifles, .50-caliber guns, certain attachments and accessories, and limits cartridges to 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for pistols.

On the plus side, it’ll end up heading to the Bruen court…

NRA challenges Illinois semiautomatic gun ban in court: ‘Blatant violation’ of Second Amendment rights [More]
So all the big dogs are in.
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) joined a federal lawsuit filed today challenging Illinois’s latest ban on so-called “assault weapons.” The Second Amendment Law Center and the Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois are also lead plaintiffs in this suit, along with others as well. [More]
The more the merrier…
Forgive me for wishing we had resolved all this decades ago…
“Is he going to enforce our automatic weapons ban if that’s an unregistered weapon?” Stava-Murray said. “He said no, he’s not going to. That seems very dangerous.” [More]
Who does she think she is? Kenny Akers?
Do you think she’s really that ignorant, or is she calculating enough to assist with the lie?
And any bets on if the sheriff will stick to his guns?

A judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the new Illinois law banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines [More]
Related, just to show how worlds apart we are:
“They took an oath of office to enforce the laws of the state of Illinois, and they will do so,” Pritzker said of the sheriffs Friday in Chicago after signing a law protecting abortion and gender-affirming care.
That’s not what the oath is to, but funny how this disgusting pig of a privileged elite domestic enemy now demands his enforcers be “oath keepers”…
That’s not without precedent.

SAF FILES FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST ILLINOIS GUN BAN [More]
Look at all the legal actions, just for this group.
You’d better believe part of the enemy’s legal strategy is to use their virtually unlimited tax plunder resources to deplete their victims’ resources.
I’d really like to see a concerted effort by the “gun lobby” to go after qualified immunity for enforcers abetting tyranny.
While I am a believer in our Constitution and our 2nd Amendment, I firmly support the ban on assault-style rifles and I truly hope our federal government follows to ban them nationwide. Since our Constitution and the 2nd Amendment were formed, firearms have become much more sophisticated and much more deadly. Our Founding Fathers were not loading .223 rounds into their muskets. They were not using firearms designed to disintegrate human bodies. As I said following the Highland Park mass shooting, these weapons of war do not belong on our streets. They’re used to kill our police, used to kill innocent people, and used to inflict maximum carnage on their victims. [More]
The hand on the Bible is always a good clue.
Some of the cud-chewers in “Comments” certainly have the government they deserve.
UPDATE:
Never mind that this is illegal under current federal law. But who cares, right? [More]

Why Illinois’ new assault weapons ban might not hold up in court [More]
True, but it’s not like it costs the subversives anything, and those they’re persecuting will need to spend big bucks to fight it.
David Cardenas, a gun owner who was headed to the target range at Shore Galleries, said he supports the assault weapons ban, although it won’t affect him because he doesn’t own them. “I’m glad they did it,” said Cardenas, a Chicago-based artist. He said the ban would prevent people with mental illness from purchasing the weapons. “So I think it’s a step in the right direction.”[More]
If I owned Shore Galleries, I’d tell him to get the hell out.

With the stroke of his pen, Governor JB Pritzker made Illinois the ninth state to ban assault-style weapons. [More]
So how soon until we see that challenge we’re told groups are “gearing up for“?
UPDATE (Via President Non_Fudd)
IL State Police sent this out to all IL FFL’s last night
And if you disobey, they’ll be happy to bring up to lethal force to bear to ensure that you comply.
Not all agree:

Attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation and its allies have filed a brief supporting their earlier motion for summary judgment in a federal challenge of Illinois’ ban on concealed carry by young adults in a case known as Meyer v. Raoul. [More]
Remember all those laws from the Founding era making it a crime for 18-20-year-olds to have a gun?
Me neither.
Illinois House Executive Committee passes assault weapons ban [More]
Now we see if they can ram the whole thing through, at which point I’m sure challenges requesting an injunction are already set to go.
Illinois Dems Introduce Gun Control Bill Targeting Assault Weapons, Age Restrictions [More]
My bet is it passes and then we’re in for years of challenges based on the Bruen standard. Then all the Republicans need to do is blow everything so the Democrats can restack SCOTUS and go for a reversal.
Any takers?

Authorities said Lopez left a loaded .45 pistol in his living room when he went to bed. The following morning, officials said the 6-year-old boy found the gun and began playing with it when it went off, killing him. [More]
Tragic. Outrageous. If he’s an otherwise decent human being, he’ll suffer hell on earth for the rest of his life.
And it’s so unnecessary. We raised two boys. Rational coexistence simply isn’t that hard to attain.
