SCOTUS Declines to Block Illinois AWB

[alsaqr]

while challenges are underway in lower courts.

"In an unsigned order on Wednesday, the Supreme Court declined to block state and local laws barring the sale of assault-style weapons in Illinois while challenges continue in lower courts. The order came in one of the first gun rights cases to reach the court after last year’s landmark Second Amendment ruling."

Unless I read it wrong (and that's entirely possible), all that happened is that SCOTUS refrained from upholding a Stay of enforcement for the now-unified cases against the IL AWB pending in District Court.

Since the Northern and Southern Districts ruled in opposing fashion on staying the enforcement, sadly, this means, the law goes into effect, until the case is decided.

There's a ton of non-THR politics involved. I grieve for our Illinois members of the gun community, that they are subjected to this nonsense.

You read it correctly CapnMac.
AND, just to add even more confusion to this mess, anybody that bought AND took possession of a prohibited firearm during that week will NOT be allowed to register their firearms later this year NOR will they be able to possess them after 1/1/24 NOR can they sell or transfer them, not even through an FFL to a buyer out of IL-ANNOY.

Does the ISP have a some type of registry or database, where it can look up who purchased what and when it was purchased?

The dealer's bound book that they are required to keep by the BATFE goons.
