Illinois: Tell Senators NOT to Override Veto on Gun Dealer Licensing

By NRAHQ

Fairfax, VA –

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) licenses and closely monitors all FFLs and strictly enforces any violation of federal law. SB 1657 and HB 1273 go so far beyond federal law in its mandatory regulations and red tape imposed at the state level that they 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.

SB 1657 & HB 1273 go far beyond federal law and are designed to shut down as many FFLs as possible.

Again, please use the “Take Action” button above to tell your state Senator not to override the veto on SB 1657 and HB 1273.
