Gun Safety Advocates Push for State Assault Weapons Ban
Clip: 7/7/2022 | 6m 47sVideo has Closed Captions
Illinois doesn't ban military-grade guns. We look into why not.
We've focused on gun control at the local and federal levels. But Monday's shooting has also sparked talk about what Illinois can and should be doing. Especially given that the state issued a Firearm Owners Identification, or FOID, card to the alleged shooter even after the then-teenager showed clear signs of trouble.
