A recap,
Earlier this week, another IL judge said the law is constitutional. The state used the argument that with a change in technology, so can gun restrictions. So there is no need to show historical analogy back to 1800's. Later in the 1920 and the Tommy gun is sufficient. And the ban on the Bowie Knife is also sufficient. State also argued that since the mags/ARs are not in "common use for self defense" they can ban them. The state used the NRA stat that for self defensive shootings, 2.2 rounds are used on average. The plaintiff is an ER doctor and may have to handle an AR and mags to secure them if an injured SWAT or other officer comes into the ER. He has had to do this once. Or if he has to go on site, which he has had to do for on site training. The judge stated that these events don't happen very often (not common), so his reason holds no weight. Again, the anti 2a are trying to push "reason" to ban stuff (public safety), which violates Bruen.
This judge ignored "IN COMMON USE" and applied "in common use for self defense" , which violates the SCOTUS McDonald ruling.
It's nice to see a judge now make the right decision. Basically ,if the firearm and parts are in common use, then that's it. No more info needed.
