Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main lawsuits challenging suppressor bans in Illinois?

The primary lawsuits are Moore v. Raoul and Anderson v. Raoul, filed in federal district courts in Illinois. These cases aim to remove the state's ban on firearm suppressors by arguing it violates the Second Amendment.

What is the legal basis for challenging suppressor bans under the Second Amendment?

Plaintiffs argue that suppressors are 'bearable arms in common use' and are not 'dangerous or unusual,' citing Supreme Court rulings like Heller and Bruen. They contend that the Second Amendment protects modern arms, not just those from the 18th century.

What is the significance of the consolidation of the suppressor lawsuits?

The consolidation of the Moore and Anderson suppressor lawsuits under Judge David Dugan is expected to streamline legal proceedings and potentially lead to a more efficient resolution. This move is seen as significant for the future of NFA item ownership in Illinois and other states with similar bans.

How did Judge McGlynn's ruling on assault weapons impact suppressor lawsuits?

Judge McGlynn's preliminary injunction against Illinois's assault weapon ban (PICA) indirectly affected the suppressor lawsuits by lifting a hold that had been placed on them. This allowed the Anderson and Moore cases to move forward after being stayed.
