The US Supreme Court will not step in and directly review the state’s assault weapons ban.

That leaves the law in place and directs lower courts to hear cases before any action could be taken by the nation’s highest court. The ruling came two days before the second anniversary of the mass shooting at the Highland Park Fourth of July Parade. After 7 people were killed and dozens more injured, the state passed measures banning assault style weapons, bump stocks and other gun accessories. Governor JB Pritzker has maintained those laws make Illinois safer.

Pritzker is in Washington today with a number of Democratic governors meeting with President Joe Biden.
