Illinois AG issues statement on President Biden’s executive order to reduce gun violence – WICS (Springfield)

A statement from Kwame Raoul reads, in part, "In Illinois, I am initiating the Firearms Industry Responsibility Act, which I urge members of the General Assembly to support. The Firearms Industry Responsibility Act, or FIRA, will make clear that the Attorney General’s office can use Illinois’ Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to take enforcement action against firearms dealers and manufacturers that engage in dangerous sales and marketing practices."

Here in Greenville and the rest of upstate SC there are dozens of gun shops and almost no murders, Chicago and Crook County have a black (and brown) violence problem, not a gun violence problem. Simple Simon even proposed restricting gun rights in specific urban areas. Only supernatural spiritual revival can save the city and not man made laws. Did the massive
Gun Control Act of 1968 change anything? I had enough of the corruption as well as the immorality of Chicago and left in 2021.

Keep up the good work, Raoul! All those guns being deceptively marketed to gangbangers on the south side. Every time I’m in the city, every where I see billboards for glocks, sigs, remingtons, springfields. There are more gun shops and manufacturers in Englewood than liquor stores and homeless shelters.
