HB 4853 Passes Illinois House With Exclusion of Ammunition!

Friday, April 7, 2006

Thanks to the efforts of those who contacted their State Representative, HB 4853 passed the House with an NRA-supported amendment that excludes ammunition.

The House concurred on this legislation with the Senate offered and NRA-supported amendment overwhelmingly by voting 115 to 1. Without this important amendment, HB 4853 as originally passed by the House could have been used to target ammunition manufacturers, distributors, users, and owners of property where firearms are lawfully discharged.

This legislation will now head to the Governor’s desk.
