Yesterday afternoon, US District Court Judge Stephen McGlynn issued a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the so-called Protect Illinois Communities Act. The injunction impacts all aspects of the law and as word quickly spread of the ruling, “Freedom Week” started almost immediately at most Land of Lincoln gun stores.
Four lawsuits had been consolidated in the Federal Southern District Court months ago, and the injunction follows oral arguments back on April 12th. Judge McGlynn didn’t fall for the State’s attempt to resurrect the “interest balancing” test on the Second Amendment in spite of the clear language that discredits that in the Supreme Court’s Bruen ruling.
