• A Republican lawmaker in Illinois has said he will “not comply” with a new law banning the sale or possession of new assault weapons, along with high-capacity magazines.
• The legislation was signed on Wednesday by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, having already been approved by the state Senate and House.
• But the new law sparked a furious reaction from Republicans, with Illinois state Representative Blaine Wilhour saying: “We will not comply, and you’re not going to do a darn thing about it, because the law, the Constitution, and the founding principles are on our side.”
