Illinois has a likelihood of succeeding on the merits of defending the state’s gun and magazine ban. That’s according to the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which released their ruling Friday.
The ruling comes as plaintiffs challenging Illinois’ gun ban are back in the Southern District of Illinois federal court with an amended complaint to block the Jan. 1 gun registry deadline as public comments about the rules continue.
The Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals heard the Second Amendment challenge of Illinois’ gun and magazine ban in late June. Friday, the three-judge panel issued their opinion.
