## Resource

A major win for gun control: A Chicago federal appeals court upheld Illinois’ assault weapons ban, rejecting claims it violates the Second Amendment and aligning with historical firearm regulations. The ruling, a reversal of a prior decision, directly ties these weapons to mass shootings and celebrates the law as a public safety measure following the Highland Park tragedy. Governor Pritzker and AG Raoul hailed the decision, but gun industry groups are already preparing appeals, with the Supreme Court poised to weigh in — potentially reshaping gun laws nationwide.
