Illinois lawmakers are pushing a backdoor gun ban. HB3320 and SB2279 would impose what amounts to a $1,600 tax per firearm, driving manufacturers out, shutting down FFLs, and pricing families out of self-defense. This isn’t safety—it’s control. Stand up now before Illinois loses its lawful gun industry. Illinois lawmakers are pushing two dangerous bills—HB3320 and SB2279—that would fundamentally cripple the lawful firearm industry in our state.

Under the so-called Responsibility in Firearm Legislation Act, the state would extract nearly one billion dollars per year from firearm manufacturers. That cost doesn’t stay in Springfield. It gets passed directly to distributors, retailers, and ultimately to you.

When the math is done, this becomes an effective $1,600 excise tax on every firearm sold in Illinois.
