“GIFFORDS applauds the Illinois Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the state’s assault weapon and large capacity magazine regulations. This commonsense law is consistent with the Second Amendment, under which state and local governments have always been empowered to act to protect public safety. This law will undoubtedly save lives.”
