Illinois gun shops see surge in sales after federal judge placed injunction on firearm ban
Fox News
Gun shop owners reported a huge increase in sales after the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois issued an injunction against the enforcement of a firearm ban.
McGlynn ruled that the law, which was signed in January, "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.'"

Although the injunction was only in place for a day, the Chicago Tribune reported large weekend crowds in suburban gun shops.
