ISRA Veto Session Alert – Illinois Gun Dealer Licensing

By Ammoland Editor Joe Evans

USA -(Ammoland.com)- ISRA Action Alert: Your phone call is needed. SB1657 is headed for a showdown in the Illinois House of Representatives during veto session this week.

SB1657 Willis – Gun Dealer Licensing:

This is the legislation that would force your favorite gun store to close under a mountain of new regulations. This bill will affect your ability to buy firearms or ammunition in Illinois. Never mind the weight of all the federal regulations that gun dealers and gun owners must deal with, your retailer and you will have more Illinois regulations and fees now too.

The bill as amended passed out of the Senate on a 30-21 vote in the spring session, and was never called for a House vote. The push is on this week to try to pass this bill

Recent media attention, including Chicago’s report about traces of recovered firearms, falsely paint a narrative trying to drive an additional, unneeded, level of licensing for firearms dealers. In a move defying logic, the bills specifically carves out big box stores that sell firearms, giving them an unfair advantage over your smaller, local firearms retailer.
