Illinois’ Democratic
Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday signed
legislation that enacts an extensive ban on firearms as well as high-capacity magazines in the state.
The new law caps the sale of high-capacity ammunition magazines, bans “switches” that allow handguns to fire rounds automatically and “extends the ability of courts to prevent dangerous individuals from possessing a gun through firearm restraining orders,” the governor’s office said in a news release.
The ban goes into effect immediately and will not require those who currently own such weapons to relinquish them, though people who already possess semi-automatic rifles will be required to register their ownership.
NOT a fucking ban.

Gov. Jay Inslee, Attorney General Bob Ferguson and a number of state legislators
discussed several proposals on Monday afternoon aimed at curbing gun violence in Washington state.
Inslee said state lawmakers are planning several bills in the upcoming 2023 legislative session. The governor called the proposed permit to purchase bill the best action in legislators' efforts next year.
Inslee said Connecticut passed a similar permit-to-purchase bill and saw a 40% decrease in gun violence. States that reversed course, Inslee said, had a 60% increase in gun violence.
Rep. Liz Berry (D-36th District) said there will be a mandatory 10-day waiting period and training requirement to purchase firearms in the state if the bill is passed.
NOT a fucking ban.
