Gun Laws

The Supreme Court said Wednesday that Illinois can, for now, keep in place a new law that bars the sale of certain semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines.

The ban prohibits the manufacture, distribution and possession of more than 190 types of assault rifles.

Moms Demand Action want to see bills focused on blocking access to guns for people with domestic violence backgrounds and improving clearance rates for unsolved shootings.

The appeals court has refused to stop the law from being enforced while it considers the cases. But that could change.

A Naperville gun shop owner says the city's ban on some high-powered rifles is driving him out of business.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he’s thankful that “Illinois law enforcement can continue to enforce the ban on the sale of high-capacity magazines and assault weapons while this case makes its way through the courts.”

A federal judge in Illinois has granted a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of a gun law that bans some semiautomatic rifles as well as high-capacity magazines.

Indiana state Senators advanced a bill Tuesday that would make state funding available for teachers seeking firearms training, a move critics have said could increase the number of guns in school to the detriment of students.

The 7th Circuit now has the opportunity to block the measure signed by Gov. JB Pritzker on Jan. 10 — which immediately banned the sale of military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.
