for the Southern District of Illinois struck down parts of the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA) that restricted "assault weapons" and "large-capcacity magazines" in the case of Barnett v. Raoul.
Using the SCOTUS text-and-history test, the court found that these
weapons and accessories are "common arms," but not "dangerous and unusual," which means that they are protected by the US Constitution's
2nd Amendment.
yeah, Troops and sherriffs are different. one is the guard and thugs of the governor, the other is a democraticaly influence community law enforcement municipal type group. beholden to the constitution and not the Governor over that.
that said many blue states just ignore the constitution, instill draconian punishments to specific demographics (conservitives, white and black male patriots, whatev population they feel opposes them) while releasing and not charging others who willing knownly recommit crimes (bringing more demand for authortarian power flex).
here is an example. the average lawabiding New yorker cannot have any type of ballistic body armor OR assessorie OR assemble in 2 or more where military like execises and routine practices take place/ Nor shall any group lawfully do any action that the police are responsible for. Neighbor hood watch groups are felonies waitning to happen in NY. maybe they are happening. read rural blue state Blotters.. you will see.
