The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit heard oral arguments regarding Illinois’s law that banned magazines holding more than 10 rounds and most semi-automatic long guns, such as the popular AR-15.
DOJ Civil Rights Division shocks gun owners by seeking to argue against Illinois’ AR-15 & magazine ban at the 7th Circuit.
The Department of Justice, in its amicus brief, maintains the stance that the AR-15 and similar rifles can not be banned.
The stay on the injunction issued by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn in Barnett v. Raoul against the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA) is due to expire on Sunday night.
