Supreme Court Showdown: Defending Gun Rights in Illinois | The Real Story with Jeanne Ives

In this episode of "The Real Story with Jeanne Ives," Jeanne interviews Robert Bevis @LawWeapons a gun shop owner from Naperville and Hannah Hill, the director for research and policy at the National Gun Rights Association @NAGRstaff They discuss their ongoing legal battle against Illinois' gun ban legislation at the Supreme Court level. The lawsuit initially began in Naperville, where the City Council passed an AR-15 sale ban. Robert Bevis and his legal team expanded the lawsuit to include the statewide ban as well. They requested a temporary restraining order to block the bans from going into effect, but the district court and the seventh circuit court both denied their requests. As a result, they appealed to the Supreme Court for emergency relief. The discussion covers the impact of the bans on Bob's business, the constitutional rights protected by the Second Amendment, and the public safety arguments put forth by the opposing side. They also touch on the discriminatory nature of the bans and the damages they are seeking. The Supreme Court's decision on whether to grant the emergency relief is considered a long shot, but they discuss the surprising response from Naperville and their arguments against the injunction. The episode sheds light on the complexities of the case and the potential implications for gun rights in Illinois.Show more
