Democratic Illinois governor signs gun dealer licensing bill

Gov. Pritzker signs Illinois’ first gun licensing bill into law
"These are common sense gun safety reforms," said Pritzker. "The reason for it is to deter straw purchases, so that we can prevent someone from buying a gun for someone else who is not legally allowed to own a gun."

Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed one version of the bill and promised a second veto if he had the chance. Instead, Democrats waited until Pritzker took over to send it to the governor's office.
The Illinois Rifle Association said the bill is designed to put small firearms dealers out of business. The license will cost a dealer up to $1,500.

Just five miles south of Moore's shop is Bear Arms. John Washburn has owned Bear Arms since 2013. Although he doesn't place to close his doors, he said the future for his business is bleak.
