A recent federal ruling<\/a> by the Southern District of Illinois on a gun law had a massive impact on local gun sales, shop owners reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Judge Stephen Patrick McGlynn issued a temporary injunction on Friday against the enforcement of a gun law that would ban some semiautomatic weapons, penalize individuals who carry or possess certain “assault weapons” and require citizens to register with the Illinois State Police should they possess a weapon.<\/p>\n

McGlynn ruled that the law, which was signed in January, “did not just regulate the rights of the people to defend themselves; it restricted that right, and in some cases, completely obliterated that right by criminalizing the purchase and the sale of more than 190 ‘arms.'”<\/p>\n

Although the injunction was only in place for a day, The Chicago Tribune reported<\/a> large weekend crowds in suburban gun shops.<\/p>\n

“Within 15 minutes, we had people coming in,” Roger Krahl, owner of RGuns in Carpentersville said. “There was a line outside the door before I could open up this morning. There will be no lunch today, because we\u2019ll be going nonstop.”<\/p>\n

McGlynn\u2019s decision came shortly after U.S. District Judge Lindsay Jenkins declined efforts to block the law<\/a> on Friday, insisting that the law was consistent with historic firearm regulation efforts and an understandable government act to protect the public from “dangerous” weapons.<\/p>\n

Jenkins wrote that the law “responded to \u2018dramatic technological changes\u2019 and \u2018unprecedented societal concerns\u2019 of increasing mass shootings by regulating the sale of weapons and magazines used to perpetrate them.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, local citizens rejoiced at the news of the injunction and the chance to support their constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m fairly excited that I got my rights back,” Woodstock citizen Zack Johnson told the Tribune. “We live in the United States, we should follow the Constitution and be able to do what law-abiding citizens are able to do.”<\/p>\n

Gun owners also criticized the law,<\/a> which some added was a knee-jerk reaction to the Highland Park shooting without regards to the right to bear arms.<\/p>\n

“It belies some pretty ugly perspectives from the gun control people that a tragic mass shooting is worth engaging in a constitutional battle, when the number of people who are murdered in Chicago each weekend don\u2019t drive them to do anything,” Maxon Shooter\u2019s Supply owner Dan Eldridge said.<\/p>\n

He added, “Living in Chicago raises obvious self-defense issues\u2026If somebody is ready to spend $250 and 16 hours of their time on a concealed carry class, that\u2019s a pretty good indication that they do have some concerns about personal safety.”<\/p>\n

Democratic Attorney General Kwame Raoul has since filed an appeal of the ruling with the decision now moving to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
