Illinois House Passes Assault-Style Weapons Ban; Bill Now Heads to Senate
The Illinois House of Representatives worked into the early-morning hours Friday to pass the Protect Illinois Communities Act, just more than six months to the day since the Fourth of July shooting in Highland Park.
Senate Bill 2226, which passed by a 64-43 vote, would ban the sale, manufacture, delivery and purchase of assault weapons in the state.
