CHICAGO, IL — Governor JB Pritzker has fought to enact common sense gun safety reforms that reduce crime, protect communities, and prevent gun violence. Because of his leadership, the state has some of the strongest gun safety legislation and reforms in the country.
Over the last eight years, Gov. Pritzker has doubled funding for violence prevention programs, worked to stop the spread of 3D-printed ghost guns, and banned the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
He also signed legislation to hold irresponsible gun industry actors accountable, strengthen safe storage requirements in homes with children, and bolster Illinois’ systems for combating illegal firearm trafficking.
In just seven days, Illinoisans will choose between Darren Bailey, an extremist with a dangerous pro-gun record whose only public safety plan is to put more guns on the street, and Gov. Pritzker, a leader who is making our communities safer.
