Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul recognizes the challenges ahead in defending Illinois gun control laws in the facet of recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent.
Raoul’s office is defending the state’s gun ban in federal court. Illinois is not the only place Raoul is defending gun control laws. He’s filed friends of the court briefs in other federal courts supporting gun control laws in Massachusetts, Minnesota and beyond.
But, recent U.S. Supreme court precedent in the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association vs. Bruen decision spells out gun control laws must be in line with the Second Amendment’s text, history and tradition.
A bench trial in the case challenging Illinois’ gun ban is set for September 16th in East St. Louis.
