The federal appeals court in Chicago has its first opportunity to weigh in on Illinois’ controversial assault weapons ban, as challenges to the law continue to advance.
They told the 7th Circuit the matter “is not a close case.”
“Cash reserves have been depleted, and as a result, [Law Weapons & Supply] has had to lay off employees and ask Bevis’ family to work without pay,” Bevis’ lawyers wrote. “Bevis has extended his personal credit, missed personal payments like home and car payments, maxed his credit limits, and taken out loans to pay the monthly bills.”
“In short, [Law Weapons & Supply] will be put out of business if these laws are enforced,” they wrote. “By design and in practice, they exist for offensive infliction of mass casualties,” they argued in a recent brief.
