Question Presented (AI Summary)

Is the State of Illinois' ban on certain semi-automatic handguns constitutional?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Is the State of Illinois’ absolute ban of certain commonly owned semi-automatic handguns constitutional in light of the holding in D.C. v. Heller, 554 US. 570 (2008), that handgun bans are categorially unconstitutional? 2. Is the State of Illinois’ absolute ban of all commonly owned semi-automatic handgun magazines over 15 rounds constitutional in light of the holding in D.C. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), that handgun bans are categorially unconstitutional? 3. Can the government ban the sale, purchase, possession and carriage of certain commonly owned semi-automatic rifles, pistols, shotguns and standard capacity firearm magazines tens of millions of which are possessed by law-abiding Americans for lawful purposes when there is no analogous historical ban as required by D.C. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), and New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111 (2022).
