A gun rights organization has filed a lawsuit against Highland Park that targets the city’s nearly decade-old assault weapons ban, alleging, in the wake of the Fourth of July shooting that killed seven people and injured dozens of others, that the ordinance is unconstitutional. Highland Park was among five states or cities sued Wednesday by the National Foundation for Gun Rights, including Naperville, which voted last month to ban the sale ofassault weapons. The foundation is the legal wing of the National Association for Gun Rights.Highland Park in 2013 enacted the ordinance that bans assault weapons and large capacity magazines following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
“The Bruen decision gave us a 4-ton wrecking ball to dismantle gun control laws nationwide — and we’re going to wipe out every unconstitutional law that stands in the way of law-abiding citizen’s Second Amendment rights,” Chris Stone, spokesperson for the National Association for Gun Rights, said in a statement.
