Illinois could bill gunmakers for costs of gun violence – WGNTV (Chicago)

Officials say that gun violence costs the state of Illinois $20 billion each year for things like emergency services, funerals and law enforcement. The Responsibility in Firearm Legislation Act(Senate Bill 2279) would require gun makers to contribute to a state fund to offset those costs.

Illinois politicians are running out of money to spend so they have to find a new source of revenue.

Nothing more than worthless Virtue Signaling by IL Democrats.
The Federal Government had passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to stop this nonsense years ago.

Another unconstitutional law that the Supreme Court will strike down. Brain dead politicians will never learn, a gun is an innate object that requires human hands to deliver anywhere between 3-5 pounds of pressure to fire, not a manufacturer. Good luck with this one commies

Never do the communist politicians go after the real problem on the streets.
They don’t want to or have the brain capacity to tackle crime.
