A federal judge in Illinois has granted a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of a gun law that bans some semiautomatic rifles as well as high-capacity magazines.
temporarily blocked enforcement of Illinois’ months-old assault weapons ban Friday, finding that the law not only restricts the right to defend oneself but, in some cases, it "completely obliterated that right."
McGlynn’s ruling comes after requests to block Illinois’ assault weapons ban have been denied by two federal judges in Chicago and the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Those denials came despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last summer that found gun regulations must be "consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation."
He also called "misplaced" an argument that the state law restricts weapons and accessories "not commonly used for self-defense."
