The Battle for Gun Control By Jessica Kennon

How we can lower gun violence without abusing our 2 nd amendment rights: Increase background checks Make straw man purchases a felony offense Approve the National School Shield Report commissioned by the NRA Proposal

2007 congress passed the NICS Improvement Amendments Act which created incentives for states to improve reporting mental health information to background check systems. Many states were unable to progress with the reporting because of the lack of funding, granting only 5.3% of the total authorized amount from the fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2011

If approved by the House, those so-called “straw man” purchases would increase from a Class 5 felony to a Class 4 felony, punishable by a mandatory minimum of one year in prison. The goal is to reduce the number of illegally obtained firearms that someone may use to commit crimes, including against a school

Host possible safety measures Internal door security Perimeter fencing Main recommendation: Armed personnel should be posted in all schools. Local police trained to work in schools, arm teachers or administrators designated by school boards or superintendents Staff members should receive 40 to 60 hours of weapon instruction and other training.

Illinois gun laws do not issue conceal carry licenses, nor does it recognize licenses issued by other states. Open carry is prohibited in most areas. To legally possess firearms or ammunition, Illinois residents must have an (FOID) card issued by state police. Automatic firearms, short- barreled shotguns and silencers are prohibited.

 1997 Pearl, Mississippi –mass murder avoided  Virginia Tech Massacre—April 16, 2007 could have been avoided  The Luby's massacre that took place on October 16, 1991 in Killeen, Texas could have been avoided  Rifles only=( % of homicides)  There were more strangulations than firearms homicides  Crime rates have lowered in states that allow conceal carry licenses  Only 0.007% of conceal carry licenses have been revoked after a crime in Florida
