Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- The Illinois House is passing a modified ban of assault style weapons.
This is part of the Protect Illinois Communities Act. The measure was passed early this morning and now advances to the Illinois Senate. This comes after dozens of groups, including Moms Demand Action rallied at the State Capitol to urge lawmakers to vote yes.
Passage comes after a shooting left seven dead at a July 4th parade in Highland Park, north of Chicago.
