The Second Amendment Law Center is thrilled to announce that one of the lawsuits it supported, FFL-IL v. Pritzker, has prevailed, receiving a final judgment from Judge McGlynn. The ruling strikes down Illinois’s bans on so-called “assault weapons” and their parts and “large capacity magazines” as well as its related registration scheme. While Judge McGlynn’s ruling covers four different consolidated lawsuits, only our lawsuit challenged the registration requirement, and we prevailed on that one too, relieving Illinois residents of that unconstitutional burden as well.
We will have more information soon after we have reviewed the ruling in detail. In the meantime, 2ALC salutes Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois and the many plaintiffs who have pushed these cases forward. And thanks to all of you who supported this winning effort!
