🇺🇸NO KINGS! Trump's DOJ Defends Illinoisans 2nd Amendment Rights from the Tyranny of King Pritzker🇺🇸

Last Friday the Trump DOJ filed an Amicus Brief in federal court challenging the Pritzker Illinois gun ban. The opening argument of the brief comes out swinging:

"Illinois outlawed some of the most commonly used rifles and magazines in America via a so-called “assault weapons” ban. In doing so, Illinois violated the Supreme Court’s clear directive that States cannot prohibit arms that are “in common use” by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes."
