BREAKING: Guns Save Life v. Ali (IL Supreme Court): Illinois Supreme Court strikes down Cook County's gun and ammunition taxes, ruling 6-0 that they violate the state Constitution's uniformity clause. ilcourtsaudio.blob.core.windows.net/antilles-resou…
Justice Michael Burke concurs, saying that "the majority’s analysis wrongly leaves the door open for a municipality to enact a future tax on firearms or ammunition that is more narrowly tailored" which he believes "would still violate the Illinois Constitution."

Nelson asks McDougall about mootness. Asks if it fits into capable of repetition but evading review, or should be just kept alive for damages. McDougall says the county never said they wouldn't do it again, and they still have the power to do it again.
VanDyke asks how neutrality plays into the 2nd Amendment (as opposed to the 1st Amendment).

NYSRPA v. Bruen (#SCOTUS, 20-843): Reply brief for petitioners

"The state now retreats to the equally indefensible claims that the right vanishes in 'populous areas' and extends only to those with a 'non-speculative need' to exercise it." supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/2…
"When the state is not rewriting the historical record, it is attacking arguments petitioners did not make, while defending a law it did not pass and licenses it did not issue."
"The Court should reverse the decision below and hold that petitioners have a right to do what even the state now concedes the Constitution protects: bear arms outside the home for self-defense."
