The Supreme Court announced Wednesday that Illinois can keep in place a new law blocking the sale of certain semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines for now as the matter is slated for appeals court arguments.

The court denied an emergency request from groups challenging the law, which bans many semi-automatic weapons. The court did not comment and no justices offered a public dissent.
