Gun shop owners urge education over new gun law
In Southern Illinois local owners Bohannom and Dennison challenge State Rep May’s proposed bill to restrict .50 caliber rifles. They argue for firearm safety education at home and in schools, condemning legislation as attack on constitutional rights and unnecessary. They warn new laws won’t curb violence and favor enforcement of existing measures.

Illinois lawmaker pushes limits on .50 caliber rifles

She cites armor and concrete piercing capabilities and notes violations would be felonies. Supporters say weapons deter threats while opponents argue gun ownership reflects responsible policing.
