Caukins Case.
Just our take so far and we’re not lawyers!

Judge heard case and issued TRO “as applied” which means applies to named plaintiffs.
Judge deliberated and gave a final ruling that the lack of equal protections under the law are “facially unconstitutional”.  He DID NOT rule the lack of equal protections was unconstitutional only ‘as applied’ to the plaintiffs -  which in our opinion means the ruling applies to everyone. But, since the ISP is now weaponized and AG has always been that way, they are saying otherwise.  They are operating from their own interpretations.  They appear to be targeting the already greatly reduced number of FFL dealers who are now at extreme risk of losing their dealer license if they violate the ISP directives.  We are of the opinion, until we get a ruling in federal court or IL Supreme Court, they will continue to do this.

To me, the ugly part (by design) is that the democrats passed the hideous “gun dealer license” so the ISP has their boots on the throat of FFLs.  While this ruling should allow them to do regular business, ISP can chose to ignore the court ruling and shut down FFLs until final Supreme Court ruling thus destroying their business.  These are bad actors the democrats have as their puppets.

Resistance…Because if we fight we might lose but if we don’t fight, we have already lost.

I agree with your take on the current court decision.

I also tried to contact several local FFL's about purchasing a few spare parts and a lower receiver, and was told by each one that
they would not at this time unless the ISP comes out and tells them in writing that the decision is in effect for everyone.

So hopefully the courts will push back on the ISP and the State of Illinois AG and make the choice for them.

In the meantime, the State will continue to bully the dealers and we will still have to suffer with our rights being trampled.

How do the courts enforce their rulings?  They do not have police.  If you refuse an illegal police order you will be loved tenderly, arrested and taken to jail where you will be charged with resisting arrest, and obstruction.  Democrat judges will find you guilty.  Most people do not have the coin to fight every illegal activity.

Court rules. Government disobeys. We The People sue the government. Court rules again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

All these new gun laws we are seeing being passed are a direct result of the Bruen ruling. Basically a middle finger to the supreme court.

but maybe it'll end the way it was destined to end all along. I foresee a snapback, a snapback to the way it should be.
