Highland Park, Ill. Mayor: Our Assault Weapons Ban Should Be a Template for Others

EXCERPT:

ROTERING: “That passage of the assault weapons ban and large capacity magazine ban that we put through in 2013 should be a template for others. And I've been working since 2018 to get the state of Illinois to allow other cities to have that opportunity through a weird twist in the way that we were able to do that, there was only a 10-day window for cities in Illinois to pass the assault weapons bans. That state preemption needs to be removed and I've been working on that.”
