ILGRA Files it’s First Federal Suit Against Illinois Gun Grabbers
Members of the Illinois Gun Rights Alliance (ILGRA) today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the recently adopted Protect Illinois Communities Act, alleging it to be an infringement on the constitutionally protected activity of Illinois sportsmen, firearms retailers, distributors, and manufacturers, and lawful users of firearms. Defendants are Governor Pritzker, Attorney General of Illinois Kwame Rauol, and Brendan F. Kelly, Director of the Illinois State Police.
Named plaintiffs in this action are:
Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois, Inc – the FFL Dealers’ Association
Guns Save Life – an Illinois-based, grass-roots gun rights organization
Gun Owners of America - a national grass-roots gun rights organization
Three private citizens
One local dealer
This is the first of several lawsuits that the alliance plans to file in a multi-step plan to restore the Second Amendment rights of all Illinois citizens. We are thrilled with the work our attorneys have done in translating our arguments into an easy to digest, thorough, and focused suit and pray the court grant the relief requested.
