It appears the 7th Circuit declined to hear an en banc on the IL AWB ban challenge, this appears to clear the way for SCOTUS to potentially decide to accept and hear the case.

NEW at SCOTUS: the emergency application against Illinois's assault-weapons ban tells SCOTUS the 7th circuit is not going en banc to (re)consider freezing the ban. That puts the matter squarely in the justices' hands.

The En Banc petition was a request to the full Seventh Circuit Court to hear an appeal of the decision by the three-judge Seventh Circuit panel in these cases.So, simply put, the full court declined to hear the appeal.Further details to come.

JUST IN: The 7th Circuit denied us en banc review for the Illinois gun ban case. There is literally now nowhere to go but SCOTUS - where we're already awaiting an answer on our appeal for emergency relief.
