(The Center Square) – After hours of oral arguments Wednesday, a federal judge now has the case challenging Illinois’ gun ban with a ruling on a preliminary injunction expected in the weeks ahead. Plaintiffs say they are confident they’ll get the law overturned.
The law Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed and enacted on Jan. 10 bans more than 170 semi-automatic firearms and certain magazine capacities. Four plaintiffs groups that sued in federal court allege the law violates the Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”
