The U.S. Supreme Court today again declined to block an Illinois state ban on assault-style rifles and large capacity magazines that was enacted after a 2022 deadly mass shooting in Chicago's Highland Park suburb. The court rejected a renewed request by a firearms retailer and national gun rights group to halt implementation of the law while an appeal continues, Reuters reports. The justices' action leaves the law in place pending the appeal of a lower court's decision brought by the National Association for Gun Rights and Robert Bevis and his firearms store. No justice publicly dissented from the decision.
