Lawsuits challenging Illinois’ gun laws are well under way in state and federal courts with separate challenges to the constitutionality of the recently enacted gun and magazine ban and the decades old Firearm Owners Identification card.
In January, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law a ban on more than 170 semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and handguns. He also banned the sale and possession of magazines with more than 15 rounds for handguns and 10 rounds for rifles.
