A federal judge has overturned Illinois' ban on semiautomatic weapons, citing recent Supreme Court rulings that emphasize Second Amendment rights. The ruling applies universally, not just to the plaintiffs, and will take effect in 30 days.
The ban, part of the Protect Illinois Communities Act, was enacted in response to a 2022 shooting. Illinois officials plan to appeal the decision, arguing it prioritizes firearms over public safety. The Illinois State Rifle Association supports the ruling, claiming it upholds constitutional rights.

Le Monde: Deforestation of the Amazon at a nine-year low
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has decreased significantly, with 6,288 square kilometers destroyed from August 2023 to July 2024, a 30.6% reduction from the previous year. This trend follows the return of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the restoration of environmental protections.
Despite this progress, challenges remain, including a rise in fires linked to climate change and drought, with 243,000 fires reported this year. Environmentalists express concern over ongoing government support for oil drilling and infrastructure projects that may undermine deforestation goals.
