illinois Tightens the Noose
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed a gun-control measure into law on Sunday that expands background checks to cover all firearms purchases in the state, closing what he said was a loophole that exempted gun sales between private parties.
Under the new law, gun sales or transfers between private parties, including those that take place online, will have to have background checks .
The new law also requires all gun owners to report any lost or stolen firearms to local police within 72 hours.
The expanded background checks go into effect on January 1, 2014.
and the hits just keep on coming...............
