Per our recent update on the briefing schedule in FFL-IL v. Pritzker yesterday was the due date for the state’s next brief. The case, which challenges Illinois’ PICA law and its onerous restrictions on lawful gun owners, is consolidated under Barrett v. Raoul.
With the Supreme Court having denied a petition to review the case, we’re back at the Seventh Circuit, where Judge Steven McGlynn previously enjoined the law as unconstitutional (see updates below). Under the standard set by Bruen, the state must establish historical analogs for the restrictions imposed by today’s laws. This makes the legal research provided by amicus briefs crucial! 2ALC will again be coordinating amicus briefs in this case that substantiate the plaintiffs’ arguments.
“The framers never envisioned the over-arching restrictions imposed by laws like PICA,”stated 2ALC President Chuck Michel. “As such, with Bruen as our guide, such laws violate the constitution and should be repealed.”
2ALC will continue to fight back and hold the ground that we are gaining in each of these cases across the country. SUBSCRIBE BELOW TO KEEP UPDATED! AND DONATE TO HELP US KEEP UP THE FIGHT AGAINST PICA!
