Thursday, the state successfully got the appeals court to issue another stay before McGlynn&rsquo;s lifted Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Kwame Raoul praised the decision, saying the ban remaining in place during the appeal will &ldquo;prevent weapons of war from being used in our schools and on our streets.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My office will continue to prosecute the appeal, and the Protect Illinois Communities Act remains the law of the land as the litigation is pending in the lower courts,&rdquo; Raoul said.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois State Rifle Association&rsquo;s Ed Sullivan wasn&rsquo;t surprised by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/amtrak-takes-over-union-station-what-riders-need-to-know-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Amtrak takes over Union Station: What riders need to know - Washington Examiner\">appeals court&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s ruling. He said <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">gun control advocates don&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t understand firearms.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And where&rsquo;s the outcry for the deaths and the destruction of our communities in the city of Chicago yet we&rsquo;re going to go after something we need to demonize to make it look like we&rsquo;re doing something about violence when the reality is they aren&rsquo;t,&rdquo; Sullivan told The Center Square.<\/p>\n<p>Gun control group G-PAC welcomed the action, which keeps the gun pan in place for now. The group said citizens will continue to be protected against weapons designed for military purposes.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Judge McGlynn was and continues to be an outlier whose negative view of a state&rsquo;s constitutional power to ban these weapons of destruction has found no support from any higher court,&rdquo; said John Schmidt, a G-PAC executive committee member. &ldquo;We expect that will continue to be the case.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan said the district court showed commercially available civilian semi-automatic rifles are not military grade. He&rsquo;s not sure the appeals court will be swayed and it may take the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;March is critical because that&rsquo;s where we could file for cert and still have a potential prospect of being in front of the U.S. Supreme Court this summer,&rdquo; Sullivan said.<\/p>\n<p>With the injunction against the gun ban on hold pending the outcome in the appeals court, it&rsquo;s unclear when the issue will be resolved. The appeals court has yet to announce a briefing schedule.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to have people that are on our side to be upset about this, but I think this is a 2026 case,&rdquo; Sullivan said.<\/p>\n<p>There are two other challenges to local gun bans in the Seventh Circuit. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court may consider taking a challenge to Maryland&rsquo;s gun ban for their coming term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1905783\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1905783\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Groups respond to appeals court&#8217;s stay on IL gun ban<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2377528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/guns-california-firearms-laws-scaled-1024x626.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32324,16596,6413,33211,32209],"class_list":["post-2377527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-appeals-court","tag-gun-control","tag-illinois","tag-legal-news","tag-second-amendment"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/guns-california-firearms-laws-scaled-1024x626.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2377527"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2377531,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377527\/revisions\/2377531"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2377528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2377527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2377527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2377527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
