Today, the Illinois General Assembly was expected to consider Senate Bill 206, legislation that sought to legalize the possession and use of suppressors in Illinois. Unfortunately, SB 206 was not brought up for consideration in the waning hours of the 2016 Legislative Session. However, the Illinois General Assembly will be convening tomorrow, January 11, for its 2017 Legislative Session, and your NRA-ILA is still working hard on the ground to pass this important pro-gun safety legislation and will continue to keep you updated when more information becomes available. Members and Second Amendment supporters are encouraged to stay-tuned to their email and www.NRAILA.org in order to stay involved in this ongoing battle for hearing protection rights.
