Illinois gun law faces temporary injunction from federal judge.

A federal judge in Illinois has granted a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of a gun law which bans some semiautomatic rifles as well as high-capacity magazines. The ban, signed by Democratic Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker in January, includes penalties for individuals who carry or possess, manufactures, sells, delivers, imports, or purchases any assault weapon or .50 caliber rifle. The ruling from former President Trump appointed judge McGlynn came shortly after United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois judge Lindsay Jenkins, appointed by President Biden, declined to block the law's enforcement.
