Title: High Court Not to Hear Challenge to Ban
Post by: JimmyHoffa on December 07, 2015, 10:04:38 AM: A city in Illinois banned certain semi-autos and standard capacity magazines and some residents are challenging. The case made its way to the US Supreme Court for consideration, but justices have voted not to hear the case.
