On Friday, Judge Stephen McGlynn of the Southern District of Illinois granted a statewide injunction against Illinois’ weapons ban.

The ban, which was signed by Governor JB Pritzker back in January, ended the sale, delivery, and purchase of certain firearms and high-capacity magazines.

According to our news partners at WAND TV, the injunction blocks enforcement of the law across the state.

McGlynn wrote that the plaintiffs “satisfied their burden for a preliminary injunction” and that they have “shown irreparable harm with no adequate remedy at law, a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits, that the public interest is in favor of the relief, and the balance of harm weighs in their favor.”

It is likely that the decision will be appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Multiple cases regarding the controversial ban are pending across Illinois.

The Attorney General’s Office confirmed that they plan to file an appeal and are committed to defending the constitutionality of the Protect Illinois Communities Act.
