Illinois racing to catch up with NJ, NY, OR to "...eviscerate their citizens' Second Amendment Rights"

[DougC]

Elsewhere on this forum there has been discussions about blue states passing new anti-2A laws after the SCOTUS Buren decision. Now IL is doing its best to double down on that theme. In the Land of Lincoln they have the votes to pass this bill.

In this video Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the ongoing game of "oneupsmanship" occurring between several very blue states who are feverishly competing with each other to see which one can eviscerate their citizens' Second Amendment Rights the quickest.

As proposed IL HB 5855 would just about ban any and all semi-automatic pistols, rifles and shotguns along with 10 rd magazine ban. This would help IL catch up with OR who's new Measure 114 goes into effect today. OR's law can have the effect to stop all gun sales without a state permit. And there is no means now to get this permit as there is no training setup yet which is required before getting permit.

New York Governor Hochul Is Caught Between A Rock & Hard Place

Once the High Court finds the CCIA unconstitutional, it could go one step further, finding the entire New York concealed handgun carry licensing structure unconstitutional.

Unless you accept NY and these other states believe that SCOTUS doesn’t have the ability to enforce decisions.

That's not quite accurate.

Every single part of Measure 114 is now on hold until at least March 7 or after; per Court Order, the State must have permitting process functional before the full trial on the Measure's Constitutionality will be held.

Pre tell. How does SCOTUS enforce decisions? You think Garland is going to enforce anything?

If LEO’s attempt to enforce laws deemed unconstitutional by the courts, we will have a constitutional crises between the executive and judicial branches…IMHO it will kickoff the Big Igloo.

They don’t have any ability to enforce a decision.

Hell, Biden has already blown one off at least two that I can think of.

From WTTW News website:
"A ban on so-called assault weapons could soon become law in Illinois.

On Monday evening (1/9/2023), the Illinois state Senate passed an assault weapons bill with some changes to the version passed by the House on Friday. The bill will now return to the House for a concurring vote before heading to the governor’s desk."

Thanks for sharing. I have been following Washington Gun Law YoulTube channel for these NY developments. All of these blue state new gun laws to get around the SCOTUS Bruen decision are getting called into court and not doing so well.

‘See you in court,’ Illinois Senate President says as chamber passes gun ban

(The Center Square) – The Illinois Senate late Monday passed a bill that seeks to ban the future sale of certain semi-automatic guns and magazines with various capacities despite threats of a lawsuit that the measure is unconstitutional.

Redundant threads merged.

This wont survive Constitutional scrutiny; and the lawsuits have probably already been filed.

But in the meantime... it's a good cautionary tale.

I had the misfortune of having to work in chicago a few times when I worked for Sunoco and I hated every hour of it.
The last trip I was there they had added an additional tax on soda products. IL and CA are two states that I will never enter again.
