Illinois has strong gun laws relative to many other states; however, weak laws in neighboring states lead to a large flow of illegally trafficked guns into Illinois, many of which are involved in acts of gun violence across the state.

Illinois provides many protections to its residents through the following laws and policies:

  • Universal background checks
  • Gun owner licensing
  • Domestic violence gun laws
  • Waiting periods
  • Open carry regulations
  • Minimum age laws
  • Extreme risk protection orders
  • Community violence intervention funding
  • Mandated lost and stolen firearm reporting
  • Child access prevention laws
  • Safe storage laws

But Illinois is missing some critical regulations to ensure the law effectively protects residents from violence:
  • No firearm registration system
  • No assault weapons restrictions
  • No large capacity magazine ban
  • No bulk firearm purchase restriction
