Illinois State Police to Hold 3 Public Hearings on Assault Weapons Ban
Moments ago, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules on a 5-5 party line vote, failed to stop the implementation of the Illinois State Police Emergency Rules to implement Gov. Pritzker’s unconstitutional, so-called, “Assault Weapons” ban registration scheme. These rules were unveiled on 9/15/23. JCAR did pass a motion that the Illinois State Police is to hold 3 public hearings around Illinois allowing for questions and clarifications on the implementation of these rules, citing the confusion and lack of clearly defined terms in the emergency rules. These additional hearings were the result of ISRA objections that were sent to JCAR on behalf of our members and firearms owners throughout Illinois. We will keep you updated on when and where these hearings will take place as they are scheduled.
