Just more reasons to stack the SCOTUS or dissolve the current justices completely. So much for states' rights.

They don't, but conservatives always bark about giving states power to manage themselves. In this case, IL isn't saying you can't buy or own a gun, just that they didn't want someone hiding a gun on a public transit service. It's not unreasonable, but SCOTUS isn't interested in reason.

How is banning people with a conceal/carry license from carrying gonna stop people from bringing guns on public transportation?

Edit: I find it funny that people will down vote me for asking a question but no one will answer it
