Nov 3 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Friday upheld an Illinois state ban on assault-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines enacted after a 2022 mass shooting in Chicago's Highland Park suburb that left seven people dead and dozens more wounded.
In a 2-1 vote, a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out a lower-court injunction imposed against the firearms restrictions in one set of cases and affirmed decisions keeping the law intact in another batch.

To describe the ruling/opinion as laughable would be far too kind...
The State of Illinois, in the legislation that lies at the
heart of these cases, has decided to regulate assault weapons
and high-capacity magazines—a decision that is valid only if
the regulated weapons lie on the military side of that line and
thus are not within the class of Arms protected by the Second
Amendment.
In other words, "all bearable arms" does not apply to firearms used by the military.
How is his consistent with Heller Caetano and Bruen ?
Can anyone here specify a class of arms NOT used by the military?
Can anyone tell us what military uses the AR15?
What do you think the USSC will say about this?
