The Supreme Court left in place a Democratic-backed ban on assault-style rifles and large capacity magazines enacted in Illinois after a deadly mass shooting in Chicago's Highland Park suburb in 2022, handing a setback to gun rights advocates
The court denied a request by the National Association for Gun Rights and a firearms retailer for an injunction blocking enforcement of the state law and a similar ban enacted by another Chicago suburb, Naperville, while a legal challenge to the measures proceeds. No justice publicly dissented from the decision.
The law exempts existing owners, giving them a deadline of Jan. 1, 2024, to register their assault weapons with state police. "Commonly owned weapons are protected by the Second Amendment and banning them has to stop," Brown said.
