Democrats pull plug on gun, ammo bans
2 hours ago • Kurt Erickson
SPRINGFIELD — There’s not enough support in the Illinois Senate to impose tough new restrictions on semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips.
In a setback for gun-control advocates in the wake of the killings of school children in Connecticut, the Illinois Senate was poised to adjourn Thursday without voting on two pieces of legislation aimed at limiting access to certain kinds of weapons and bullets.
Although the two proposals could emerge again when the legislature reconvenes next week, the lack of action shows the General Assembly remains divided on how to balance Second Amendment issues.
Hmmm, can't get a ban through the overwhelmingly Democratic legislature of what is
arguably the most antigun state in the US?
Cue the acting out in 3...2...1...
