An "emergency?" NOT!

[Fantine]

Illinois' assault weapon ban is headed to the Supreme Court, and the plaintiffs are asking Justice Barrett to grant an "emergency" block of the law while the case is being decided.

When is an emergency not an emergency? The assault weapons ban is a tempered, sensible response to the very real emergency of too many murders, particularly in Chicago.

Just tell the plaintiffs to carry some other gun in their arsenals. I am repulsed that they would be depraved enough to call only having numerous other guns to choose from an "emergency."

“At least 20 million AR-15s and similar rifles are owned by millions of American citizens who use those firearms for lawful purposes,” plaintiffs stated in a brief

It’s a dumb law. Good for them for trying.

It’s a dumb law. Good for them for trying.

Good for Illinois for trying or for the folks who filed suit?

Those who filed suit. It’s a dumb law that won’t change anything anyway.

The vast majority of gun violence in Democratically controlled Illinois, particularly Chicago is minority on minority crime, typically gang and drug related. It has been an emergency for decades - one being largely ignored by the media and politicians in non voting years.

I remember back in 2013:

From January 2006 through August 2013, thousands of cases involving a weapons violation were thrown out in Cook County’s criminal courts, The Chicago Reporter found. More than 13,000 cases that included a gun violation have been dismissed during that period, shows the Reporter’s analysis of records maintained by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County. In fact, more felony cases involving a gun–from illegal possession to unlawful sale to a felon–have been thrown out than cases with any other type of charge.​

It continued in 2020:

REPORT: Chicago Prosecutor Dismissed Thousands Of Felony Cases Including Gun Crimes Cases

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx pledged Monday to bring the dozens of looters and rioters who did a reported $60 million in damages Sunday night to justice, but a new report from the Chicago Tribune calls into question Foxx’s commitment to seeing certain felony cases through.According to...

In all, “25,183 people had their felony cases dismissed” per the Trib.​

IMHO - if these career Democrats really want the murder to stop in the cities they have control over - how about locking up the criminals.

That doesn't make gun violence more acceptable. All the more reason the law to pass muster.
