IL Anti-Gun Coalition Proposes Outrageous Legislation to Close Gun Stores

By Ammoland

Washington, DC –

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) licenses and closely monitors all FFLs and strictly enforces any infringement of federal law. HB 1016 goes far beyond federal law in its mandatory regulations and red tape imposed at the state level that it would almost assuredly force the closure of most firearm dealers, and prevent prospective owners from opening new ones. This legislation seeks to create so many department divisions, anti-gun 5-member licensing boards, and licensing fees that dealers would be forced to close through oversight by anti-gun appointees or being priced out of business.

Again, it is more important than ever that NRA members and Second Amendment supporters file witness slips in opposition to this House Bill 1016.
