  • The Illinois State Supreme Court ruled on Friday that a strict assault weapons ban, enacted after the Highland Park shooting, is constitutional.

  • The court's decision came in response to a lawsuit challenging the ban's compliance with the equal protections clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

  • The court overturned a lower court's ruling and determined that the ban does not violate the equal protections clause.

  • The plaintiffs explicitly waived any separate claim that the restrictions unlawfully infringe upon the second amendment.
