The Illinois assault weapons ban is currently under review in a federal appeals court after being ruled unconstitutional by U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn in November 2024, stating the ban violates the Second and 14th Amendments. Pointing out the bizarre nature of the ban, however, experts say that what makes a firearm an “assault weapon” is trivial and lacking in any cogent reasoning. With “assault weapon” being a largely made-up expression by the mainstream media and anti-Second Amendment politicians, it should come as no surprise that a true definition of the term does not exist.
Recently, CBS News Chicago was invited to Guncology, a gun store and shooting range in Lockport, Illinois, owned by firearms expert and private detective Sergio Serritella.
