Williams Gun Bill Signed Signals Possible Referendum
Springfield Rep. Gale Williams, R Murphysboro, notes Gov. Ogilvie signed a bill setting in motion a potential advisory referendum on gun control for November 1974. If approved, the measure would have no binding effect but could imperil the current gun owner registration program and hinder stronger laws. To place the question on the ballot, 2 percent of registered voters across 102 counties must sign petitions, a tough goal given gun clubs' local ties.
