A Heroic Stand Ignites a Fight for Freedom: Law Weapons Defends Second Amendment Rights
A blatant attack on the Second Amendment rights of every law-abiding citizen. In September 2022, a defiant spark flared into a roaring battle for liberty in Illinois, led by Robert Bevis and his shop, Law Weapons & Supply. These American patriots took a stand against tyranny when Naperville imposed a local ban on assault-style weapons in August 2022— For Bevis, this fight transcended his business, where 85% of his inventory—favorites like AR-15s—was suddenly outlawed. It became a personal mission to protect the constitutional freedoms of every American who cherishes their right to bear arms.
Illinois Escalates with PICA
When Illinois escalated the assault with the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA) in January 2023, banning firearms millions rely on for self-defense, Bevis stood resolute. He had already filed a lawsuit against Naperville on September 7, 2022, pulling the state into the fray soon after. Backed by the National Association for Gun Rights and the Supreme Court’s 2022 Bruen decision—a landmark ruling affirming Second Amendment protections—Bevis argued that AR-15s are weapons in “common use” for lawful purposes, beyond the reach of government overreach.
This wasn’t just about saving his store; it was about safeguarding the Second Amendment rights of every freedom-loving citizen. Law Weapons became a beacon of resistance, proving one man’s courage can rally a nation.

Storming the Supreme Court: Titans of Liberty Champion Second Amendment Rights
Robert Bevis and Law Weapons didn’t just resist—they charged toward the U.S. Supreme Court in 2023 with unwavering resolve. After launching their lawsuit against Naperville in September 2022, they faced a setback in February 2023 when U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall denied their preliminary injunction, allowing the city’s ban—and later PICA—to stand. This ruling struck a blow to Second Amendment rights, but Bevis refused to yield.By March 2023, they appealed to the Seventh Circuit, wielding the Bruen decision to demand recognition of AR-15s as protected arms for free citizens.
The Supreme Court Battle Intensifies
The Seventh Circuit’s dismissive ruling in November 2023 upheld the ban, ignoring the constitutional rights of Americans. Undeterred, Bevis and Law Weapons took their fight to the Supreme Court twice in 2023—first in May, then in December—seeking emergency relief to halt this injustice. Though the Court declined to intervene both times, and a certiorari petition filed in February 2024 was denied in July 2024, their resolve never wavered.
Justice Clarence Thomas
Justice Clarence Thomas’s suggestion of revisiting Second Amendment protections offered a glimmer of hope. Bevis and Law Weapons emerged as titans, their Supreme Court battle a testament to their relentless defense of Second Amendment rights.
A Nationwide Call to Arms
This fight echoes broader struggles for liberty and the freedom to bear arms across the nation. From coast to coast, patriots rally to protect their freedoms against encroaching regulations. Bevis’s stand is a clarion call, urging citizens to join the cause and defend their rights.
March 2025: Heroes Unbroken, Defending Second Amendment Rights
As of March 10, 2025, Robert Bevis and Law Weapons remain unbroken champions of liberty, their fight against Illinois and Naperville’s unconstitutional gun bans and our Second Amendment rights, is burning as fiercely as ever. Since September 2022, their case has raged on in the Northern District of Illinois, awaiting a merits ruling after the Supreme Court’s refusal to act in July 2024. The Seventh Circuit’s November 2023 decision continues to burden law-abiding citizens, costing Law Weapons hundreds of thousands in lost sales, forcing layoffs, and pushing a proud business to the brink—all for upholding Second Amendment rights. Yet Bevis stands tall, a hero whose sacrifice inspires us all.
A Glimmer of Hope from the South
Judge Stephen McGlynn
These bans defy the Bruen decision, demonizing AR-15s when they’re tools of lawful Americans defending their homes and freedoms. But hope is rising. In November 2024, Judge Stephen McGlynn in the Southern District of Illinois struck down PICA as unconstitutional—a monumental win for Bevis’s cause and every citizen’s Second Amendment rights. Now under appeal at the Seventh Circuit, this ruling could dismantle Illinois’s ban and reverberate to Naperville, liberating Law Weapons and gun owners statewide. Bevis isn’t just a gunsmith—he’s a warrior for all Americans, a living symbol of the fight to keep and bear arms.
Fueling a Movement for Liberty
The ripple effects of this battle extend beyond Illinois. Gun owners nationwide watch closely, knowing their rights hang in the balance. Bevis’s courage fuels a movement that demands we stand united—for liberty, for justice, for the United States. His journey from a small shop in Naperville to the steps of the Supreme Court underscores the power of one individual to challenge tyranny. As this case unfolds, it’s our duty to amplify his voice, ensuring the fire he lit in 2022 burns brighter than ever.

Why This Fight Matters to Every American
The struggle for Second Amendment rights and the freedom to bear arms led by Robert Bevis and Law Weapons is more than a legal battle—it’s a defining moment for the soul of America. The Second Amendment isn’t just words on parchment; it’s a promise of freedom, a shield against oppression, and a legacy passed down through generations. When governments like Illinois and Naperville trample on that promise, they threaten the very foundation of our nation. Bevis’s defiance reminds us that these rights aren’t negotiable—they’re worth fighting for, no matter the cost.
A Call to Protect Our Future
Consider the stakes: millions of Americans own AR-15s and similar firearms, using them responsibly for self-defense, sport, and heritage. Banning them doesn’t just disarm citizens; it emboldens those who seek to erode our liberties further.
Bevis’s case is a line in the sand, a declaration that we won’t let our rights be stripped away without a fight. His story calls us to action—whether through advocacy, support, or simply spreading the word. Together, we can ensure that Second Amendment rights endure for generations to come.
