Highland Park Assault Weapons Ban is under "Strict Scrutiny" in the Federal Courts.
The H.P. Assault Weapons Ban is under fire at the Federal Court level. Due to the SCOTUS Cases of Heller and McDonald, the Illinois Supreme Court stated that all cases involving the Constitutionality of any law infringing upon that Right, must be done under "Strict Scrutiny". The days of Home Rule Communities Passing any half baked gun-control ordinance are over. Thanks to groups like The Second Amendment Foundation, The Illinois State Rifle Association and the NRA, we are winning back our Second Amendment Rights and making it harder for the opposition to even try to Pass new ones. The H.P. AWB Case, will serve as a good precedent and will help to nullify the AWB's in Evanston, North Chicago, Chicago, Skokie and others. Last week a motion to invoke a temporary injunction was introduced. That is a good starting point, before striking down the AWB Ordinance entirely.
