Good day all. Several blue states have decided to nullify the 2nd Amendment. One of these is, to the surprise of no one, Illinois. The Democrats recently passed and the fat tyrannical slob of a governor signed, a law that bans the ownership of a large number of firearms. Within minutes, lawsuits were filed and this is where things get interesting.
The first request for an injunction was filed in United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and landed in from of a Biden judge, Lindsey Carole Jenkins. Jenkins is a a standard “Liberal” judge. She doesn’t consider the Constitution to be the supreme law of the land. She flat out ignored the plain language of the 2nd Amendment and the recent Bruen decision and refused to issue an injunction. According to Fox News, (Without Tucker Carlson):
U.S. District Judge Lindsay Jenkins said that the gun control laws are consistent with the United States’ historical tradition of firearm regulation, and that the gun owner was unlikely to show they are unconstitutional. She also said that the government has a prevailing interest in protecting the public from “dangerous” weapons that is not outweighed by the Second Amendment’s protection of the right to keep and bear arms.
That statement by Judge Jenkins demonstrates that she is not fit to be on the bench. Frankly, I think that might be grounds for impeachment and removal, although I know that won’t happen, thanks to the fact that her statement reflects the views of the Democrat Party.
Next we have a ruling by another judge that is the dead opposite of the one by Jenkins. This one was a request for an injunction in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, and came up before a different judge. Here are those details, again from Fox News:
A federal judge in Illinois has granted a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of a gun law which bans some semiautomatic rifles as well as high-capacity magazines. United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois judge Stephen Patrick McGlynn issued the ruling Friday afternoon, stating that the court “must be mindful of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.”
Judge McGlynn was appointed to the District court by the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump. Unlike the Biden Appointee, Jenkins, he has a great deal of experience as a judge at different levels. He also, unlike Lindsey Jenkins, understands that the Constitution means what it says, and he’s also following the Bruen decision from the Supreme Court.
McGlynn wrote in his ruling that he isn’t attempting to “minimize the damage caused when a firearm is used for an unlawful purpose,” but said the law in question limited the Second Amendment right of people in Illinois.
“[Protect Illinois Communities Act] did not just regulate the rights of the people to defend themselves; it restricted that right, and in some cases, completely obliterated that right by criminalizing the purchase and the sale of more than 190 ‘arms,'” McGlynn wrote.
The ruling from former President Trump appointed judge McGlynn came shortly after United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois judge Lindsay Jenkins, appointed by President Biden, declined to block the law’s enforcement.
That is the difference between the Obama/Biden judges and the Trump judges. The Obama/Biden judges do not consider the Constitution to be valid. They will put the power of the state ahead of the rights of the people and the refusal of Jenkins to issue the injunction, and then to state that the actions of the government override the Constitution demonstrates this.
The Trump judges are generally what are referred to as “Originalists.” They have read the Constitution, and used the dictionary of the meaning of words in the late 18th century. They have also read the Federalist papers and the Anti-Federalist papers to gain an understanding of what the founders of this country intended. This is why we are seeing the Supreme Court overturning a number of precedents. They are beginning the long process of correcting decisions that amounted to “Legislating from the bench.
With regards to the 2nd Amendment, we are seeing three groups of judges. The first group are the Obama/Biden judges who will outright ignore the Constitution in order to push an agenda. The second group are the Originalists such as Justice Clarence Thomas. Finally we have a third group. They are similar to the Obama/Biden judges. Many of them were appointed by the Bush wing of the Republican party.
These judges can swing in either direction. In general, they will rule in favor of the Government. One of these judges is U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall who is also in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. She also ruled against the injunction and in favor of the suppression of the 2nd Amendment.
To conclude that “assault weapons and large-capacity magazines fall under this category” of “highly dangerous arms,” both courts relied on evidence including the injuries such weapons cause, their use in mass shootings and other gun crimes, and studies that have shown large-capacity magazines lead to an increased number of fatalities in mass shooting incidents.
And this has absolutely nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment. It has everything to do with absolute control of the population by the “Ruling Elites.” This is what the Bruen Decision changed. Both Judge Kendall and Jenkins ignored the decision. Judge McGlynn didn’t. Without question this is going to be appealed, along with the mess currently happening in Washington State. I suspect that there is going to be an even harder slap down from the United States Supreme Court. We shall see of course.

Any regulation of a right by definition is an infringement and renders said right a privilege subject to the whims of the elites and their men at arms (FOP/PBA)
