On Friday morning, the Illinois Supreme Court issued a ruling that upholds the controversial assault-style weapons and magazines ban law. The U.S. Supreme Court will likely decide the issue. In response to the ruling, State Senator Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport), issued the following statement:
“I am disappointed, yet not surprised, that the highly politicized Illinois Supreme Court has chosen to act yet again as a rubber stamp for the Illinois Democratic Party. As long as Democrat lawmakers continue to go after law-abiding citizens rather than the criminals who abuse their gun rights, crime in all forms will continue to rise.”
