HB 5471 “bans the delivery, sale and purchase of any” of those so-called “assault weapons” in Illinois. It also doesn’t allow a rifle “to accommodate more than 10 rounds, with a 15-round limit for handguns.”

Effingham County-based Accuracy Firearms filed a lawsuit against the state, alleging the law violated the Second Amendment. Another “lawsuit was filed in Crawford County,” claiming the law violated the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

The Illinois State Rifle Association and gun stores filed a federal lawsuit against Illinois.

Morrison’s decision addressed Accuracy Firearms and the other plaintiffs, coming to over 860 Plaintiffs.

The decision only affects those Plaintiffs, not everyone in Illinois.
