Long-time anti-gun Senator Julie Morrison (D-Deerfield) has introduced SB107, a bill to ban so-called “assault weapons.”  With the election of Governor Pritzker and many new members of the Illinois General Assembly that ran on an anti-gun platform, we expected to see numerous anti-gun bills filed.  We are certain this will not be the last anti-gun measure we will see in the coming months from Senator Morrison and other anti-gun members of the Illinois General Assembly.

I know I don’t have to remind ISRA members that elections have consequences.  We must stay vigilant as these bills are a long way from passing.  Should any pass and are signed into law, we intend to litigate in the courts even if that means taking our grievances to the United States Supreme Court!  The Illinois State Rifle Association will be there fighting for your Second Amendment Rights, but we need your help.  Here is what you need to do now so we can keep you informed.

*If you are not an ISRA Member, please join
