A federal appeals court on Friday upheld Illinois' prohibition on high-power semiautomatic weapons, refusing to put a hold on the law adopted in response to the mass killing of seven people at a 2022 parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. A three-judge panel of the 7th District U.S. Court of Appeals voted 2-1 on the issue.
Those who own such guns and accessories when the law was enacted have to register them, including serial numbers, with the Illinois State Police. That process began Oct. 1. The Illinois Supreme Court upheld the law on a 4-3 decision in August. “The Protect Illinois Communities Act is a commonsense law that will keep Illinoisans safe,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said in a statement.
