SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) A judge issued a temporary restraining order Friday blocking the new Illinois law banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.
Effingham County Judge Joshua Morrison issued the order after former Republican candidate for attorney general Tom DeVore sued to block the law. DeVore said hes representing hundreds of people from dozens of counties who argue the law violates their constitutional rights.
Morrisons ruling only applies to 850 plaintiffs listed in the lawsuit in Effingham County and four licensed gun dealers.
Gov. JB Pritzker said he was not surprised by Morrison's ruling.

This is the Congressional District of "Illinois Nazi" Mary Miller, who is aligned with the Matt Gaetz wing of the Republican Party and quoted Hitler when she gave her speech at the January 6 rally.

But gee, it seems reasonable that a town with 1% of the population would get to decide for the rest of us. Or, perhaps not so reasonable.
