This video discusses the Firearms Policy Coalition's (FPC) filing of an en banc petition with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the Illinois assault weapon and magazine bans. The petition follows a panel's reversal of a preliminary injunction.

The ultimate goal is to bring the case to the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) for a definitive ruling.

This video discusses a legal strategy challenging mandatory firearm registration laws, particularly in Illinois, by leveraging the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination.

This video features constitutional attorney Mark W. Smith discussing the intricacies of the Illinois assault weapon and magazine ban. Smith, an expert on Second Amendment law, breaks down the specific round count limits for long guns (10 rounds) and handguns (15 rounds) and explains the highly restrictive 'grandfather clause' for pre-owned magazines.

This video discusses a legal brief filed by the National Association for Gun Rights and Robert Bevis concerning the Illinois 'assault weapon' and magazine ban. The brief argues that semi-automatic rifles and magazines holding more than 10 rounds are in common use and therefore protected by the Second Amendment, citing Supreme Court precedent like Heller and Bruin. The discussion emphasizes that the 'common use' test, not frequent use for self-defense, is the standard for Second Amendment protection.

A federal appeals court judge has issued an administrative stay, temporarily halting a lower court's decision that found Illinois's assault weapon and magazine bans unconstitutional. This stay allows the bans to go into effect while the appeals court considers the case further. The decision was made by Judge Frank Easterbrook, who has a history of rulings not favorable to Second Amendment rights. This development is occurring in parallel with another case, Bevis v. Naperville, which is also heading towards the Supreme Court.
