Ban Assault weapons like New Jersey. New Jersey is one of the states with the least gun violence in the nation. No reason for weapons of war made to kill people to be available to the public. America already had 185 mass shootings. Trampling the rights of citizens? Regulate guns not uteruses.

A federal judge betraying the people? I for one am shocked by this totally expected revelation.

I hate this state.

This crap is one of the reasons I moved out of Illinois six months ago. Other than an impending funeral of elderly family members, I have no reason to go back.

Pray for us in Illinois. We didn't vote for this.

Shall not be infringed. Unless you are a tyrant then you do whatever you want.

The disarming of law-abiding citizens to prevent them defending themselves from the mob will proceed apace.

States cannot violate the Constitution. This is a judge who need to be forcibly removed from the bench.

Illinois unironically be like "our bans would totally work if Indiana did it too."

That judge just made it easier for criminals to overtake Illinois. Edit: Disgraceful!

If only we had a document guaranteeing your God given right to possess a firearm... A declaration... or a constitution perhaps

Relax everybody, we live in the re-naming age! I'd say your responsibly owned guns now identify as cordless hole punchers.

Someone should look into that judges finances. What isn’t pissing me off about judges right now. I can count the number of decent judges on one hand.

What pisses me off about certain judges is their irrationality. My brother was pulling himself over with high blood sugar from type one diabetes, but until he got himself to the side of the road he was a danger to other drivers. He remembers the police being right there when he stopped the car, and the cop telling him he almost hit the police vehicle. He remembers agreeing to blow the blood alcohol thing, all as he told them his blood sugar was high and he needed medical attention. He remembers them telling him they would get him medical help, but he would have to be handcuffed and transported in the back of the police vehicle. The next thing he remembers is waking up in the emergency room, hearing the police arguing with the doctor who was refusing to provide a blood alcohol level _because_ if you give a drunk insulin, he's a drunk with low blood sugar, but if you give a diabetic insulin, he doesn't seem drunk any more because he isn't drunk. But the police wanted it anyway and they weren't pleased. They then took him back to the jail for "observation." They released him to our aged, terminally ill mother in the middle of the night, telling him they weren't charging him with anything. Weeks later he got notice that he was charged with drunk driving and had to appear in court with a lawyer. He went to a former high school classmate who turned our to be useless but agreed to take $7,000 to pretend to represent him. The lawyer refused to review the hospital records because the judge assigned to the case doesn't consider medical information, she only takes the testimony of police. Mind you, our other brother is retired law enforcement. He's the youngest. We aren't anti-cop, only anti-bad cop, and there are some truly bad, lying sobs on our local police force. But this judge favors the bad cops even over the good ones. When he got to court was the first my diabetic brother found out that he blew ridiculously high on the breath thing at the jail, _before_ he got medical treatment. His endocrinologist _appeared_ at the hearing to testify, but the judge wouldn't _let_ him. She's a stinking "tough on crime" wacko who goes after disabled and challenged people who suffer medical emergencies, and the cops and lawyers enable her. This disease is going to eventually kill my brother, and his health is declining anyway, as it's become harder for him to control his sugar levels. He uses an insulin pump, and he's tried a few different ones, but they all malfunction in one way or another. He's still working because he's had so much sickness that he basically has to work, and now with this false drunk driving expense he's even further in the hole. He won't get justice because the system here is corrupted to the core.

Next step, can this "judge" be recalled in any way at all? If not, why not. If he can be, then how soon?

I really wish there was a way the Supreme Court could simply dismiss a lower judge outright if they make egregious decisions like this.

This was written about the boob judge.. So it was no small matter when Albert W. Alschuler, himself a highly respected law professor, wrote in a law review, “Judge Easterbrook persistently presents wildly inaccurate, made-up statements as unquestionable statements of fact,” adding, “The truth is not in him.”

"If you've got a problem, use a gun. If that doesn't work, use more gun." ~Engineer, Team Fortress 2.

Tyrants deserve tar and feathering. Activist judges and corrupt politicians have no fear of negative consequences for ignoring our rights and that's why we are where we are. "When governments fear the people there is liberty, when people fear governments there is tyranny." Thomas Jefferson

Soon we'll have to invoke the 2nd amendment the way our founding fathers intended.

I had the fortune to meet one of the appellate judges in Chicago when I was a kid. He was born in 1905 and was a far different breed than the purely political animals we see today. I worry about the world we will leave to our children and grandchildren.

Shouldn't be that bad, there isnt even an "assault rifle" section in any gun store I've been.

The check finally cleared in the foreign bank account.

Thank you Mick. So hard to get news. Appreciate the update.

I haven’t lived in Illinois since last August. I don’t miss the high taxes, the high robbery rate, the high child murders, the high taxes, the high sales tax, the high income tax, and the retarded gun laws for Crook County.

Left Illinois in 2021 after 50+ years living around Chicago. Good riddance. Hopefully 500 miles is far enough.

After a few more decades of this we won't put up with it anymore, will we.

Would be a shame if his office was flooded with disgruntled people.

The problem is I don't expect this to get any better in the near future. Most lawyers and law students have been raised in academic indoctrination for the past couple of decades. Gonna be a while before this kind of BS is rooted out, and even then we've gotta put our foots down as American citizens and start holding these judges accountable for rulings that effect law abiding citizens while these judges enjoy their cozy lives in ivory towers

Pos judge is probably couple yrs from retirement.... take their private security away...

I hope some of our Sheriffs here in Illinois are going to obey the constitution, their enforcement is the final authority after all.

Judges seem to be ruling on opinion rather than law more and more. We are doomed if this continues.

Here in Springfield, IL, are anti-2A and anti-Trump radio hosts 4pm-7pm wmay.....constantly....

Typical judge

The supreme courts inaction on important issues is the main thing I find frustrating about judges. In a more general sense I feel like they hold jury's hostage to the point where the judge might as well declare they are the finder of fact and not the jury. It is controversial, but if judges are going to play activist they have no right having a problem with jury nullification being explained.

I'm still unsure of what an "assault rifle" is. Is it when i hit someone with the stock of my 22lr? My AR doesn't assault people, it puts down threats.

Seriously…wtf!?

No matter. Will get clapped by Justice Barret

This is why there should be a process to remove jugdes from they jobs legally

That's why im out this state in 5 months. I wish yall the best

Their word-play w “Assault Rifles” is funny. Isn’t ANYTHING you use as a weapon an “Assault Weapon”? Or how about an, assault knife, assault rock, assault spork, assault beach towel, assault ashtray, assault books, assault lamp, we even have assault cats, dogs & assault bottle rockets.. WHERE DOES IT ALL END..?!?

Colorado just barely missed having just about every semi-automatic firearm in the state declared illegal, fortunately the politician pushing it is better at annoying and alienating just about everyone around her including her own party that she couldn't get it pushed through. Sadly other gun control laws made it through and of course our twisted pretzel of a Governor signed them. Not really surprised at this out of a judge in Illinois. I'll never live there but occasionally have to travel through the place and I try to never spend any money there while passing through. Fortunately I already transported all of my 'assault weapons' through there to their final storage locations some years ago so there's no chance a random traffic stop will get them seized from my legal possession.

Next up, another immediate appeal to the SCOTUS?

Impeachment and removal from the bench. Clearly this person doesn't understand the law and has proven that their personal agenda is more important than the rights of millions of citizens.

Republicans when judge elections are coming up: 😴 Republicans when presidential elections are coming up: 😱

Bring on SCOTUS then. ACB is ready.

No Spine! The Judiciary is LACKING a Starling amount of Courage!!🙏🇺🇸🔥

To a certain perspective because this is a fed judge not a state judge the SCOTUS can jump in more quickly and smack this thing down.

"Hmm... I think I need more soy in my diet. Also, screw the citizens of my state." - Da Judge, Clearly

You think they will stop with assault rifles ? Recent shootings in Alabama and Texas (looks like gang related) involved 4 or more shooters with hand guns in gun free zones.

🎶 *Open season on those who commit treason* 🎶

Whelp it's onto to en banc appeals then... USSC better step in and put this judge in his place cus clearly he's way outta line

No taxation without representation...

We need common-sense judical control.

No shock. I expect MN to try the same thing.

Shall not be infringed, do not obey.

Didn’t Maxine Waters have some advice for situations like this?

That, despite GVR'ing Miller v. Bonta back to Judge Benitez's court to rule in light of Bruen, the 9th will STILL stay the ruling, and then rule against freedom in spite of Bruen. This is the fucked up game we play in California. A right delayed is a right denied.

... and that's why you DONT ELECT JUDGES ... it makes their job POLITICAL! Get them promoted to that job through QUALIFICATION!

What is pissing me off most about judges in America? Black women.

Judges are very weak minded(or forced to be that way) that's what I really hate.

Companies already opened ordering and shipping for IL customers so i hope lots of the folks there stocked up during that window.

What pisses me off is that more legislatures don't haul judges before them for a please explain, and impeach them, or force them through a recall. If they are going to use spurious legal theory or deliberately misreading/applying law they have written, or blatantly bad judgements, the judges should face appropriate sanctions given the judiciary seems unwilling to actually patrol its own. Or in the case of higher federal courts, and even the supreme court, if the state is involved and really unhappy with the decision (eg judge throws moot, laches, or any other bullshit), statement that they don't see the ruling as valid and the judge is risking unity of the union by not doing their job, it will be reheard or action in the legislature and from representatives will force them to rehear it. Too often people just throw their hands up and go "independent judiciary, can't do shit john", no, there are three branches and two of them have the ability to hold each other, and the third to account.

Although I'm English, I've seen The Untouchables, so I would have thought this type of corruption is normal for an Illinois judge.

Impeach the judge immediately

What the F'n F?!?? We are depending on this in Washington state.

I grew up in a nice city in Illinois through the 80s and 90s. Besides the humid summers, I consider it an idealic childhood. I left for college, and shortly thereafter I started hearing about how Chicago has gradually been ruining my city. My parents moved from the state after they lost hope for the politics. It's a shame.

I’d rather not agent not a Fed, because even joking about could send you to the lonely loathsome

This is a Battle between GOOD AND EVIL. Simple

The fearful and the corrupt need to be reigned in.

It's more accurate to say a mistake was corrected if you're from Illinois, "everything has returned to normal peasants!"

I never voted for this.

So were they shopping for a favorable judge to stay the injunction?

Put cameras in the Federal Courts

Antonin Scalia was a big fan of Easterbrook. Scalia was asked if he could choose his replacement on the bench who would he pick. With almost no hesitation he said. Frank Easterbrook.

Far too many of the judges in America seem more crooked that the criminals they do or most recently do not put behind bars…. Yes, that is what PISSES ME OFF! Its all about the money, and power, not about right and wrong.

Thanks again for the truth Nick.

Ask Barnes what he thinks of Easterbrook. A particularly nasty jurist😂

Whoever keeps picking judges for confirmation is a big part of the problem. Per Barnes, it's the Federalist Society, or is one of the orgs that our corrupt politicians turn to for names. Like that affirmative hire Katanji Brown who thinks child porn is less porn-like if shared electronically and can't define what a woman is, while being a woman. Barnes has some great observs on the entire subject of our court system and the two of you should do a collab on it.

I can't wait for LawGTP.

Judges like this should go up on the wall.

why am i not freaking surprised. meanwhile on the federal level the congress is just madly swinging at stuff that could screw over online security as i understand it.

Imagine how upset all the gang members in Chicago must be right now. If they didn't go get their AK's yesterday, they are so screwed.

Seems like the exact thing the 2nd amendment was put in place to handle.

Don't worry Illinois. Soon we can hang air fresheners and fuzzy dice from our rear view mirror. So it makes it almost equal. 🙄

Look, there's a very simple solution to this. And, as a bonus, the solution would make carpenters very wealthy.

Keep FIBs out of Wisconsin!

Didn’t realize that uteruses required a license and background check

Hey remember when a federal judge nullified an amendment to a state constitution?

Judges are stimulating a two justice system. (Ya Think?)

I think all judges should have transparency, including their robes.

We're going through the same thing in Oregon. Washington too.

Kind of glad Easterbrook pulled this tomfoolery. Now it will get appealed to SCOTUS and it will be a nationwide reversal of all "AWB" and high cap mag bans. Packing 10 round mags at the range is really fucking annoying and I'd also like to change my muzzle attachment which is pinned because NJ is stupid.

More and more officials following the principles of the little red book eh?

The state of illinios should be divided around the line of the chicago metro. Anything in the metro shall be the liberal paradise of chicago, anything outside shall be the state of illinios

This judge MUST be removed. Preferably via legal process. But this is WHY the 2nd was written.

Hey from Kansas!

When you have to play illegal/legal/illegal musical chairs with your fire arm IT IS A CLEAR INFRINGEMENT

Do NOT “Step on Snek”! FAAFO!

Ugh, that sucks!
