After Bruce Rauner announced his opposition to the second bipartisan gun dealer licensing bill, JB Pritzker released the following statement:
"There are lives on the line as Bruce Rauner plays the lowest form of election year-politics," said JB Pritzker. "This callous governor vetoed a commonsense Gun Dealer Licensing Act that would have helped keep families and communities safe. Now, after bipartisan legislators came together on a compromise that addresses Rauner's concerns, he still plans to shamefully oppose the bill. It's past time for this failed governor to put people before politics and do something about the senseless gun violence ravaging our communities."
