Springfield, IL -(Effingham Radio)- The Illinois State Rifle Association is putting its weight behind Governor Bruce Rauner.
The association announced its endorsement in the race for governor yesterday.
The ISRA’s Richard Pierson said in a statement that Governor Rauner has been a backstop for gun owners in Springfield.
He went on to say that J.B. Pritzker supports draconian gun measures, like a ban on handguns and a ban on semi-automatic rifles.
