Question Presented (AI Summary)

Is the State of Illinois' ban of certain handguns constitutional?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Is the State of Illinois’ ban of certain handguns constitutional in light of the holding in D.C. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), that handgun bans are categorially unconstitutional? 2. Is the “in common use” test announced in D.C. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), hopelessly circular and therefore unworkable? 3. Can the government ban the sale, purchase, and possession of certain semi-automatic firearms and firearm magazines that are possessed by millions of law-abiding Americans for lawful purposes when there is no analogous Founding era regulation?
