Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- Three federal lawsuits against Illinois’ gun ban saw some movement Monday as a federal judge ordered a response from the state to show “each and every item banned.”
In the Southern District of Illinois, four cases are pending. One is from the Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois. Plaintiffs in that case filed a motion for preliminary injunction last week. In three other cases, federal Judge Stephen McGlynn ordered state defendants to provide “illustrative examples of each and every item banned” under state law.
Thomas Maag, who brought the state level case that was transferred to federal court, said the judge’s order will make it difficult for the state to comply.
The state has until Feb. 28 to respond in Maag’s case. In the case brought by the Illinois State Rifle Association, the state has until March 1 to respond and March 2 to respond in the case brought by the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
