Pritzker’s allies in Springfield are going for the kill shot with HB-3239!
This legislation creates a new permit system, designed to make it literally impossible to buy a firearm in Illinois. Don’t believe me, look at what it does:
- Creates a new permit, issued from the local police department, to buy/transfer a gun.
- Before applying for this permit, you’d need to take 8 hours of training, and only the State Police can certify the trainers who can conduct these classes.
- This permit is ‘may issue,’ and can be denied if the police think its in the ‘best interest of public safety.’
- If granted, this permit is good for just 10 days.
In essence, this creates a third background check on gun sales. One for this permit, one for the FOID Card, one at the point of sale — all while violent criminals run wild.
This permit is designed to end gun sales! But HB-3239 is so bad that even Democrats in tough seats are scared to vote for it. So we may be able to stop this bill yet!
