Frequently Asked Questions

What is the latest development in the Illinois AR-15 and magazine ban case?

Judge Steven McGlynn has issued a new order outlining the factual findings required for the case to proceed on its merits. This follows a Seventh Circuit ruling that vacated his previous injunction against the ban, requiring him to follow their precedent.

Why does Judge McGlynn disagree with the Seventh Circuit's ruling on the Illinois gun ban?

Judge McGlynn believes the Seventh Circuit's test, as applied in the Bevis case, incorrectly shifts the burden of proof to citizens to demonstrate their firearms are protected, rather than requiring the government to justify its ban based on historical tradition.

What is the significance of the Bevis case in the Illinois gun ban litigation?

The Bevis case, decided by the Seventh Circuit, resulted in a 2-1 ruling that vacated Judge McGlynn's preliminary injunction against the Illinois ban. This ruling is now binding on Judge McGlynn, despite his stated disagreement with its interpretation of Second Amendment law.

How is Judge McGlynn guiding plaintiffs in the Illinois gun ban case?

Judge McGlynn is instructing plaintiffs to present evidence that satisfies both the Supreme Court's Heller and Bruin standards, as well as the Seventh Circuit's Bevis standard. This dual approach aims to preserve arguments for potential Supreme Court review.
