Illinois Lawmakers Pushed Back-Door Gun Control 7 Times — In Only 16 Days

The Illinois Legislature has only been in session for 16 days in 2019 — and already, the state has introduced seven measures designed to impose back-door gun control.
SENATE BILL 337

SB 337 was passed in the previous legislative session but was placed under a procedural hold to avoid a possible veto from outgoing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. It was signed into law by newly inaugurated Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker on January 17, 2019, in spite ofstudy data that suggested such a move might not even make the state safer.

What SB 337 does:

Requires all federally-licensed firearms dealers in the state of Illinois to also obtain a state license

Creates an electronic transaction history that can act as a de facto registry

Requires all licensed firearms dealers to submit to inspections
