State's Gun Owners Continue to Wait for Final Rules on Illinois' Ban on Assault Weapons

The state’s gun owners are waiting for a set of final rules on Illinois’ ban on assault weapons and other gun accessories. And they will continue to wait on the US Supreme Court to offer an opinion.

 

Thursday the court again rejected a request for intervention and to stop the law. Governor JB Pritzker says he still believes the law will pass constitutional muster.

 

 

The state is operating under “emergency” rules in place for registering assault weapons. The legislative committee that approves them won’t meet again until January.
