(SPRINGFIELD) Gun rights advocates in Illinois are asking the U.S. Attorney General to come and review how the state may be violating residents’ Second Amendment rights. Attorney General Pam Bondi was recently quoted saying the Second Amendment is not a second-class right after investigating delays in gun permits being issued in California. She said the U.S. Department of Justice will not stand idly by while states and localities infringe on the Second Amendment rights of ordinary, law-abiding Americans. Several Illinois gun laws, including the state’s ban on certain guns, ammunition magazines, and the Firearm Owner’s Identification card, are all tied up in federal and state litigation.
