HB2783 would allow hunters in counties with 500,000 or more people to use rifles while deer hunting.
The Illinois State House of Representatives passed HB2783 on April 9, 2019 by a vote of 100 to 10. We assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is a step toward restoring the fundamental right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment states “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Any bill that would promote God-given rights such as this is one to support.
