Illinois House committee approves ban on ‘bump stocks’
An Illinois House committee, on a party-line vote, approved legislation that its sponsor said would ban so-called “bump stocks” on guns in Illinois, plus require that anyone purchasing tannerite, an explosive compound, would need a Firearm Owners Identification card.
The House Judiciary-Criminal Committee approved the legislation sponsored by Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, on a 7-5 roll call.
The action came on the first day of the Legislature’s fall veto session.
Lobbyists for the National Rifle Association and the Illinois State Rifle Association said their organizations opposed Moylan’s HB 4117.
NRA lobbyist Todd Vandermyde claimed that Moylan’s proposal was so broadly worded that it “would essentially prohibit or outlaw in our estimation 50 percent of the firearms held in Illinois today. It would make a criminal out of the vast majority of 2.2 million FOID card holders, for mere possession.”
Vandermyde said the law would criminalize “a lot of very common things that gun owners do to modify their weapons to make them shoot better, to make them shoot more accurately.”
Ed Sullivan, a former state representative who now lobbies for the Illinois State Rifle Association, said his group supports another bill (HB 4120) sponsored by Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, that would ban the future sale and possession of bump stocks on guns.
Also they go on to say…
Moylan told the committee. “This is what we do responsibly to protect our citizens. My measure is focused on modification devices and an explosive substance, not the firearm itself.”
which is basically Hilarious because Chiraq is a fucking warzone.
