, House Speaker Emanuel "Chris" Welch and Senate President Don Harmon issued the following joint statement about the ban: "After continued negotiations between the leaders, stakeholders and advocates, we have reached a deal on one of the strongest assault weapons bans in the country. Gun violence is an epidemic that is plaguing every corner of this state and the people of Illinois are demanding substantive action. With this legislation we are delivering on the promises Democrats have made and, together, we are making Illinois’ gun laws a model for the nation.
In addition to banning new sales of and possession of new military-style weapons, gun control advocates would require current owners of such firearms to register them with the state by make and serial number. And they'd limit how many rounds could be loaded at one time into the weapons.
