Illinois ban on assault weapons not taken by SCOTUSThe Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected challenges to Illinois' ban on assault-style weapons, punting for now on the question of whether the ban is allowed under a controversial new test for gun restrictions.

The court was asked to block Illinois’ ban while multiple challenges to the state’s law are litigated.

The justices declined to take the cases.

Justice Samuel Alito said he would have taken the appeals.

Justice Clarence Thomas said the court was "rightly wary" of stepping in at this stage.

"But, I hope we will consider the important issues presented by these petitions after the cases reach final judgment," he wrote.
