Pritzker Ban on Commonly Owned Firearms Found Unconstitutional

The ISRA is proud to announce that Federal District Judge Stephen McGlynn has found the provisions of the Illinois ban on commonly owned firearms and accessories known as “PICA” to be unconstitutional. Furthermore, the State of Illinois is prohibited from enforcing provisions of this unconstitutional law related to registration, possession, and purchases of commonly owned firearms and accessories after December 8^th, 2024.

The Illinois State Rifle Association has been fighting against this ban since it’s introduction at the Illinois Statehouse. Our legislative team tried to warn lawmakers about the unconstitutionality of Pritzker’s scheme. After the Governor put his signature on this affront to citizen’s rights, the ISRA partnered with the Second Amendment Foundation to file suit in Federal Court with a promise to see this through to the US Supreme Court if necessary. Today’s ruling affirms our legislative position and shows our dedication to fighting on behalf of the millions of law-abiding Illinois firearms owners.

Barring any further court action, the ISRA looks forward to restoration of 2^nd Amendment rights to Illinois firearms owners just in time for the holidays and winter hunting seasons.
