Illinois Senator Neil Anderson addresses legislators on gun bill

Share

The Illinois State Senate passed House Bill 5471 banning the sale, manufacture, and possession of some of the most common semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.

 The vote was 34 – 20.

Attached are remarks by Senator Neil Anderson during debate on the semiautomatic gun ban.

While the legislation exempts gun owners who already own the firearms, it also includes a provision requiring them to register those firearms with the Illinois State Police.

The legislation is House Bill 5471 and now heads to the House for consideration.
