Despite Illinois becoming the ninth state in the union to ban assault weapons, the top leader of the Illinois Manufacturers Association is backing gun producers around the state.

Even if the bill gets challenged in court, I-M-A President and C-E-O Mark Denzler said he has the manufacturers' back.

On Tuesday, Governor Pritzker signed the measure, after the state Senate and House approved the legislation. In the legislation, gun manufactures in Illinois can continue producing weapons. The legislation bans the sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines across the state.
