Gov. J.B. Pritzker endorsed legislation banning the sale of assault-style weapons and large-capacity magazines and banning most people under 21 from obtaining gun licenses.
House Bill 5855, the "Protecting Illinois Communities Act," was introduced last week by State Rep. Bob Morgan (D-Highwood), who was present at the July 4 Highland Park parade mass shooting.
Speaking Wednesday at an unrelated news conference, Pritzker said his administration had consulted with Morgan about the bill while it was being drafted. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
