Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main legal challenges to Illinois' "assault weapon" and magazine bans?

The primary challenges are brought through cases like NAGR v. Neville and Herrell v. Ru, which argue that these bans violate the Second Amendment. These cases are seeking Supreme Court review to overturn lower court decisions that have applied an incorrect "military use" test, contrary to established Supreme Court precedent.

Why are the Illinois gun ban cases considered an uphill battle for Supreme Court review?

A major hurdle is that these cases are seeking review on an interlocutory basis, meaning they are appealing preliminary injunction decisions rather than final judgments. The Supreme Court traditionally prefers to review cases that have reached a final resolution in lower courts.

What is the significance of the "military use" test applied by the 7th Circuit?

The "military use" test, applied in cases like Herrell v. Ru, incorrectly suggests that Second Amendment protections do not cover weapons reserved for military use. This contradicts Supreme Court rulings in Heller and Bruin, which focus on whether firearms are in common use for lawful purposes.

Which case has a potentially better chance of Supreme Court review regarding gun bans?

The Bianchi v. Frosh case, challenging Maryland's rifle ban, is considered to have a better chance. This is partly because it's based on a motion for summary judgment (a final merit decision) and was previously Granted, Vacated, and Remanded by the Supreme Court after the Bruin decision.
