It went into effect in January.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Robert Bevis, the owner Naperville firearm store Law Weapons, sued over the ordinance, and the National Association for Gun Rights joined his effort.<\/p>\n<p>They later added to their lawsuit a challenge to the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which was enacted Jan. 10 and\u00a0banned the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines statewide. Residents who already owned such weapons could legally keep them.<\/p>\n<p>A federal district judge in a preliminary ruling declined to block either the state law or the city ordinance in February. Late last month, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined a request to put the measures on hold as the gun rights advocates appealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The advocates then brought the request to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>A separate lawsuit recently caused the state law to be briefly\u00a0put on hold, but the measure was quickly put back into effect.<\/p>\n<p>The justices in the dispute took a similar route to how they handled two other emergency requests to block New York gun laws earlier this year.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Attached to one of those rulings, conservative Justice Samuel Alito,\u00a0joined by fellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas,\u00a0wrote in a statement\u00a0that advocates \u201cshould not be deterred\u201d and that the court declining to step in was over procedural considerations, rather than expressing a view on the merits of the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
