According to the Chicago Tribune, U.S. Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett gave Naperville, Illinois, until Monday to respond against a challenge made to its “assault weapon” ban.

Robert Bevis of Law Weapons & Supply claims that Naperville is destroying the business he owns and is in violation of the Constitution.

Breitbart reported that Bevis had filed an emergency application to Justice Barrett asking for the court’s intervention and an injunction on two separate Illinois “assault weapon” bans pending appeal review.

The bans are in Naperville, and at the state level in the Protect Illinois Communities Act.

1776 Coalition Sponsored Do you know why Winsome Sears matters? Bo Snerdley with New Journey, here with a dire warning. We could easily lose the Black voters who voted for Trump if we take them for granted like the Democrat Party did for nearly 70 years. If you want to see Black voters support America First Policies in 2025 and turn out for Republican candidates like Winsome Sears, then we need to start the work today.

The case involves:

Can the government prohibit the sale, purchase and possession of semi-automatic weapons and firearm magazines that are possessed for lawful purposes by tens or hundreds of millions of law-abiding Americans when there has never been a ban of this kind as required in D.C. v. Heller(2008 )…and New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022).

The emergency application stated that, in addition to constitutional concerns: “Plaintiffs are seeking emergency relief for much more than just tangible harm to their constitutional rights.” Respondents literally destroy Mr. Bevis’s livelihood, as the challenged laws force Law Weapons, Inc., to close.

Bevis v. Naperville & the State of Illinois No. The Supreme Court of the United States has issued a ruling on 22A948.
