Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- The state has until Thursday to reply to plaintiffs in four federal lawsuits looking for injunctive relief against the state’s gun ban and registry.
Oral arguments have been set for mid-April. Friday, the Southern District of Illinois consolidated the cases. Saying he doesn’t want to be “papered to death,” Judge Stephen McGlynn set the schedule for the state to answer the Second Amendment charges.
Todd Vandermyde is consulting for plaintiffs in the Illinois Gun Rights Alliance case against the ban. He said the judge seems on top of the issues.
The Fifth and 14th Amendment allegations from the Crawford County case will come out at a later date. Vandermyde said that was about case management.
Oral arguments will happen in East St. Louis April 12.
