ILLINOIS (WSIL) -- The Illinois State Rifle Association filed a motion for preliminary injunction in a federal lawsuit on Wednesday in regards to the assault weapons ban.
A statement was released from the ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson.
“Today, the ISRA, along with our co-plaintiffs, filed a motion for preliminary injunction in our federal lawsuit. Every day this statute exists, law-abiding gun owners are harmed, and we are stripped of our constitutional rights. Based on the merits of our lawsuit, we believe the court needs to stop the harm NOW.�
Earlier in January, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed the weapons assault bill (House Bill 5471) into law.
Afterwards, multiple Illinois sheriff’s departments issued a statement on how they will not be checking to see if their residents within the county are in compliance with the new law.
