Illinois passed the ban on assault weapons after the 2022 Independence Day parade shooting that left seven people dead and 48 wounded.
An ideologically mixed panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law, however, writing that the Supreme Court's recent decision on the right to bear arms "extends only to weapons in common use for a lawful purpose,' not to semiautomatic weapons that 'are much more like machine guns and military-grade weaponry than they are like the many different types of firearms that are used for individual self-defense."
