    Because they are colluding with and paid for by the same national interests.
    Maybe... But U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn, who is based in southern Illinois, temporarily blocked enforcement of the assault weapons ban Friday.
    He is a Trump appointee in 2020. Not only AR-15- & LCM, But a political football with Trump appointment of Judges.

    But Judge Easterbrook of the 7th Circuit Court stayed (put on hold) Judge McGlynn's injunction which put the ban back in place.

    Not 7CA as a whole, but definitely Judge Easterbrook, who has been a problem child for years. There were other judges in 7CA who made Illinois shall-issue well before Bruen. The AWB mess is all on Easterbrook's hands and hopefully the SCOTUS rebuke will be personal.
    Judge Easterbrook was the judge that originally wrote the opinion in the McDonald case which the Supreme Court overturned thus insuring that the Heller decision applied to all the states.

    Yes. Exactly. https://news.aroutfitting.com/2023/05/07/ar-15-ban-case-known-anti-2a-judge-ignores-scotus/

    And Here. Judge Frank Easterbrook of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals entered a stay of Judge McGlynn’s order enjoining the enforcement of Illinois’s bans on semi-auto rifles and magazines. Mark Smith discusses this decision and talks about Judge Easterbrook’s prior rulings against 2nd Amendment rights.

    And now at SCOTUS

    If I'm reading the SCOTUS docket correctly, the appeal for an injunction, submitted to Justice Barrett, is due a response by May 8 at High Noon.

    Reading the Application for Injunction was almost thrilling, to see every argument by the City and Chief of Police either torn down by reference to Bruen, or mocking the District Court for ignoring the essential questions presented. It's the Bitch-Slap Heard Round the World.

    Imagine a request for injunction being responded to in one week, rather than ignored for several months!

    Why, that's unheard of in Maryland; veritably un-Progressive! I've previously understood the function of the courts is to impede and trample the so-called "Rights" of citizens, and slow-walk decisions until all plaintiffs have died of old age.

    There's a strange odor in the air this evening: it smells like . . . liberty.
    As in Hulbert v Pope???

    Also Easterbrook was the author of Friedman v Highland Park that the opinion was based on feelings, and Cert was denied by SC. So part of his claim for the current stay is McGlynn didn't consider Friedman. And is asking for briefs from the plantiffs on why Friedman is no longer valid.

    Well, HvP is def a slow-walk thru the halls of injustice; my scent of liberty arose from McGlynn's & Barrett's actions.

    My dreams are seeing Rutherford successfully sued for Civil Rights violations, and SCOTUS more or less dismembering ATF.

    Yeah, right.

    This particular writer- By Ian Millhiser May 9, 2023, Is quite inaccurate in their assumptions.

    1 quote that's completely BS.
    Yet Heller also held that “the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited.” And, at the insistence of now-retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, a relatively moderate conservative, the Heller opinion enumerated several specific limitations on the right to bear arms, including a rule permitting lawmakers to ban “dangerous and unusual weapons.”

    They (7th) did this on purpose to keep it from getting struck down nationwide.
