Petition Text:
As your constituent, I am calling on you to listen to the 85% of Illinoisans who support regulating firearm dealers by voting for the Combatting Illegal Gun Trafficking Act (SB 337, Amendment 3).
90% of crime guns in the United States can be traced to only 5% of gun dealers, some of the most notorious of which are based right here in Illinois. Between 2013 and 2016, 40% of guns recovered from crime scenes in Chicago were sold by gun dealers located in Illinois.
It’s time we stand up and say enough is enough and hold these corrupt gun dealers responsible. We urge you to sign this legislation mandating state certification of gun dealers to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have access to them and protect our communities from gun violence.
