Effingham, IL county is where my home town is.

Very rural - corn fields, cows, corn fields, pigs, corn fields and some more corn fields.

My town's population this past year was 410.

My senior class from High School had 17 of us in it.

As an IL born, former 3+ decade resident of IL, I'm happy for them. But even happier to no longer reside there. Of course PRoMD isn't much better.

Talk about a state dominated by a disconnected Liberal city

At least MD isn't bankrupt. Yet.

I did listen to the 7CA yesterday and it seems they really did give the state a very hard time and most of her arguments did not hold water at all. They ended up taking about the M16 for the most part which of course the AR15 is a cousin of that but all in all the state did not do very well IMHO

Holy cow. The state Supreme Court keeps the new gun law in place. Makes no sense. And this tid bit boggles my mind:

"Second, plaintiffs expressly waived in the circuit court any independent claim that the restrictions impermissibly infringe the second amendment"

Is this a way for them to deter them from appealing to SCOTUS? How could they say plaintiff waived a CORE reason for the litigation?

WTF??

Not surprising. The Cook County Democrat Party controls the state legislature, and with a Dem Governor, the Justices are chosen for loyalty to the Party line.

When there are no repercussions for doing so, why are we surprised that they did?

CA5 or CA7?

CA5 or CA7?

From the article linked in the OP:
"The temporary restraining order against Illinois’ gun ban issued by an Effingham County judge has been upheld by the Fifth District Appellate Court of Illinois."

State court not federal.
