A national gun violence prevention organization claimed this week that 85 percent of Illinois voters support legislation to require gun dealers to obtain a state license to sell firearms.
The organization called Americans for Responsible Solutions recently surveyed Illinois voters about legislation proposed in Springfield called the Gun Dealer Licensing Act aimed at requiring firearm dealers register with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and the results were in favor of the proposal by overwhelming amounts. Of the voters asked downstate, 77 percent said they would support the measure, according to the study. Illinois gun owners supported the measure by 77 percent as well, according to the findings. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
