Pritzker: ‘Better than 30%’ odds gun ban survives federal courts
(The Center Square) – Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker appeared to concede that his and Democratic lawmakers' ban on a wide variety of semi-automatic handguns and rifles has a less than 50-50 chance of surviving in the federal court system.
During a discussion the governor’s office said was about “gun violence prevention” at Temple Jeremiah in Northfield Thursday, Pritzker was asked about the chances his ban on certain semi-automatic firearms and magazines survives a challenge in the federal courts.
Gun owners continue to wait for an opinion from the federal appeals court on the challenge against the state’s gun and magazine ban. It’s unclear when those will be issued, but the federal case is expected to go to the U.S. Supreme Court either way.
To one question asked about implementing “extreme” taxation on ammunition, Pritzker said that would be shut down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Where is this all going? We need to make sure that people are appointed to the Supreme Court who are going to do the right thing,” Pritzker said.
