[Breitbart] On Thursday a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit upheld the "assault weapons" and magazine bans in Illinois.
The case is Barnett v. Raoul.
The three-judge panel ruled two to one in favor of the ban, claiming the ban’s restrictions on "AR-15s and thirty-round rifle magazines...are consistent with the principles that underpin our Nation’s tradition of firearm regulation."
Chief Judge Michael B. Brennan dissented, noting that the AR-15 is "the best-selling rifle in America" and the banned magazines are "standard capacity." |
