Lawsuit Filed Against Illinois Assault Weapons Ban, With More Likely
Pearson’s group will also seek a TRO to prohibit implementation of the legislation.
Another lawsuit was filed in Crawford County by attorney Thomas Maag. His suit alleges that the bill violates the Second Amendment right of citizens to bear arms, but it also goes a step further, alleging that the state violated Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and 14“My clients want to protect their rights, family rights and friends’ rights, and I think they have a very good case,” he said.
Maag says that he is encouraging residents to comply with the law until the legal actions have been taken through to completion, but says that he believes history is on their side. Pritzker and other state Democrats have said they are confident the bill will stand up to legal scrutiny, but the road ahead will likely be full of litigation with plaintiffs and groups lining up to challenge it.
