NEW LEGISLATION MAKES "GHOST GUNS" ILLEGAL IN ILLINOIS.
THE BILL BANS SO-CALLED "GHOST GUNS" WHICH CAN BE MADE FROM KITS BOUGHT ONLINE OR WITH A 3-D PRINTER. THESE FIREARMS DO NOT HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER SO THEY AREN'T TRACEABLE, AND ARE BECOMING A SERIOUS PROBLEM SAYS CHICAGO REPRESENTATIVE CAM BUCKNER.
BUCKER SAYS HIS PROPOSAL WILL INCLUDE A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GET A SERIAL NUMBER FOR THEIR GUN IN ORDER TO MAKE IT LEGAL. HE SAYS SAYS HE HOPES TO PUSH HIS BILL THROUGH BEFORE THE END OF THE SPRING LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
BUCKER'S BILL MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO MANUFACTURE, SELL OR POSSESS A GHOST GUN, ALTHOUGH IT DOES SET UP A SYSTEM FOR SOMEONE WANTING TO GET A SERIAL NUMBER FOR THEIR GUN SO THEY CAN BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW. HE SAYS HE'D LIKE TO GET THIS PASSED BEFORE THE SPRING LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS SCHEDULED TO ADJOURN NEXT MONTH.
