Show Notes
State legislators are in Springfield this week. One issue that may be on the docket is gun control. Rep. Bob Morgan from the 58th District introduced the “Protect Illinois Communities Act” in December. The bill would prevent the future sale of what’s commonly known as “assault weapons,” as well as large-capacity magazines, and would change age requirements for obtaining guns. Morgan represents suburban Highland Park where a shooter killed seven people during a parade last summer. Rep. Bob Morgan tells host Jacoby Cochran what the bill means for future, and current, gun ownership in Illinois.
