Chicago, again
A few pro-gun bills were making some headway in Illinois. Now, a couple of anti-gun bills are:
Rep. Robert Molaro (D-Chicago), the bill’s sponsor, welcomed Blagojevich’s help on what is a critical piece of the mayor’s anti-gun package, saying the governor’s support may help to pick up votes when the measure is called a second time. The governor also said he sees progress to ban assault weapons, prohibit the sale of .50-caliber sniper rifles and close a gun-show loophole. He called the three initiatives “very competitive.”
The bill also allows people to sue gun manufacturers.
