This bill targets common handguns by focusing on certain internal firearm designs, including the cruciform trigger bar used by Glock and other firearm manufacturers. While Glock appears to be the main
target, this language could reach beyond one company and affect other lawful handguns owned by responsible citizens.
The excuse for this bill is the illegal use of “switches” that convert firearms to fully automatic fire.
But those devices are already illegal under state and federal law.
Criminals who use illegal conversion devices should be
prosecuted. Law-abiding gun owners should not be punished for owning common, lawful handguns.
HB4471 is another attempt to restrict the rights of responsible Illinois firearm owners while doing little to stop violent criminals who already ignore the law.
