Gun control bills pass State House in Illinois
Illinois lawmakers push gun control measures through the House with bipartisan backing after Senate approval. The Arrington and Smith bills license ownership but permit unlimited guns once licensed, with age 21 restrictions without parental consent and disqualifications for mental illness or recent prison records. Opponents warn of rights erosion while supporters cite protection for the innocent. The measure raises penalties for illegal gun sales or possession and funds youth firearm training programs. A second item notes a New Jersey summit marker planned in Glassboro for Johnson Kosygin talks. Also mentions Mike Tryba of Benton training with the Soil Conservation Service.
