Phelps adds Quinn is overstepping his boundaries but if the action was legal, it would put thousands of people out of work.

Quinn says banning the weapons will make Illinois a safer place. Phelps says there's no way Quinn's amendatory veto will stand. He's pushing to legalize conceal carry in Illinois and plans to call that proposal for a vote next month.
