Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a state law banning certain semi-automatic firearms and magazines violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms under the Supreme Court's Heller and Bruen precedents

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

1. Is the State of Illinois’ absolute 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 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 8. Ct. 2111 (2022)? PARTIES AND
