TOMORROW - Protect IL’s Assault Weapons Ban
March For Our Lives and its partners are planning a rapid response action–protecting Illinois’ state assault weapons ban from a constitutional challenge in appellate court on Thursday. Filed in district court just two months after the July 4 shooting that inspired this law, this case is the first challenge to Illinois’ state assault weapons ban to hit federal appellate court. Now, it has expanded to encompass five other challenges to the act, and an adverse ruling would have devastating consequences for both our state and nationwide.
An adverse decision might provide ammunition to every pro-assault weapons group in the country, who could and would weaponize this decision against similar assault weapons bans in other states–and any future federal assault weapons ban. Oral arguments for this case will be held on June 29 at 9:30 am—and we are mobilizing to the courthouse to face them.
