    | Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a measure putting more regulations on gun dealers in Illinois, red tape that a group representing the industry said could put them out of business.
 
 At an event at a Chicago school, surrounded by the city’s police superintendent, mayor, other elected officials and gun control advocacy groups, Pritzker on Thursday signed Senate Bill 337, which lawmakers passed more than six months ago.
 
 “The reason for it is to deter straw purchases so that we can prevent someone from buying a gun for someone else who is not legally allowed to own a gun,” Pritzker said.

    | That's right, one more step, one more attempt, to convince law abiding citizens that they must take responsibility for the actions of criminals... |

    | This has nothing to do with gun safety or reducing crime.  It is an attack on gun retail establishments to increase their costs and the costs of the guns they sell. |

                      | The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |  |  |
