Per the January 2025 edition of American Rifleman, the US District Court
for the Southern District of Illinois struck down parts of the Protect
Illinois Communities Act (PICA) that restricted "assault weapons" and
"large-capcacity magazines" in the case of Barnett v. Raoul.

Using the SCOTUS text-and-history test, the court found that these weapons
and accessories are "common arms," but not "dangerous and unusual," which
means that they are protected by the US Constitution's 2nd Amendment.

This happened on November 8 of this year.
