FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW following bench trial. The Court finds in favor of the Plaintiffs and against the Defendants in these consolidated cases. The Court holds that the challenged provisions of the Protect Illinois Communities Act are unconstitutional under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution as applied to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. Therefore, the Plaintiffs' request for a permanent injunction is GRANTED. The State of Illinois is hereby ENJOINED from the enforcement of PICA's criminal penalties in accordance with 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. §§ 5/24-1(a)(14)(16) (bump stocks and assault weapons); 5/24-1.9(a)(h) (assault weapons and attachments); and 5/24-1.10(a)(h) (large-capacity magazines) against all Illinois citizens, effective immediately. The State of Illinois is also ENJOINED from enforcing the firearm registration requirements and penalties associated with entering false information on the endorsement affidavit for non-exempt weapons, magazines, and attachments previously required to be registered in accordance with 430 Ill. Comp. Stat. 65/4.1. This permanent injunction is STAYED for thirty (30) days. Additionally, the Government's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on the Langley Plaintiffs' Counts IV and VI (Doc. 220) is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs. Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 11/8/2024.
