State Representative Adam Niemerg (R-Dieterich) has vowed to continue the fight against the Illinois "gun ban" following a recent ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court's decision, which came in a 2-1 split, reversed a lower-court injunction that had been imposed against the firearms restrictions in question.
Opponents of the gun ban, including Rep. Niemerg, argue that the measure violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the right of individuals to "keep and bear arms."
"It is my hope this will be appealed to the federal supreme court where we will have a different outcome. I will continue to fight for and with law-abiding citizens and gun shop owners to preserve our Constitutional freedoms in Illinois," declared Rep. Adam Niemerg.
One of the key points raised by Rep. Niemerg is that the appellate panel referenced a U.S. Supreme Court opinion from last year, which struck down New York state's limits on carrying concealed handguns outside the home. This decision, according to Rep. Niemerg, provides encouragement for the appeal of the Illinois gun ban.
"I am encouraged by the U. S. Supreme Court's decision last year that established a new legal test for gun restrictions. Upon appeal, this law should fall under the same umbrella of constitutional protection," added Rep. Niemerg.
To support the fight against the gun ban, residents are encouraged to sign the petition to Stop the Gun Ban on Rep. Niemerg's website. Additionally, individuals can reach out to the district office at 217-813-6036 for any questions about state issues or proposed legislation.

Rep. Niemerg's determination to protect the Second Amendment rights of Illinois citizens remains steadfast. With the hope of an appeal to the federal Supreme Court, the battle against the Illinois gun ban is far from over.
