Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has been pushing for more gun control since he took office. (Photo: J.B. Pritzker Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While Chicago is known for its draconian gun-control regime, the state of Illinois had yet to impose a background check requirement on private gun sales\u2014until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new gun control bill<\/a>, which passed the state legislature roughly along party lines, would require all private gun transfers to go through a federally licensed dealer and require the Illinois state police to conduct \u201cenforcement operations\u201d on residents who are no longer permitted to own a firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn an America, where gun violence has become a scourge to so many neighborhoods, Illinois is taking a commonsense approach to reform and we\u2019re doing so with votes from both sides of the aisle,\u201d Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis bill is the most comprehensive reform to our state firearms laws in over a generation,\u201d he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation imposes some of the country\u2019s strictest requirements on private gun sales. The state already required private parties who wished to sell a gun to verify the buyer\u2019s Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card and keep a record of the sale for 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new bill, along with requiring that private sales go through the NICS background check system, requires new gun owners who purchase a firearm from a private party to report the sale to a federally licensed firearms dealer within 10 days of purchase. The dealer must maintain a record of the sale, and the buyer must provide the name of the dealer if asked by a law enforcement officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this same vein, the bill instructs the Illinois State Police to develop an \u201cInternet-based\u201d database in which they will list the serial numbers of firearms that have been reported stolen. The database will be open to the public and is supposed to ensure that individuals do not sell stolen firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation does not say whether criminal penalties will be leveled against those who neglect to use the system before purchasing a firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who fail to keep records of their private gun sales and report those sales to a federally licensed dealer will face a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense or a Class 4 felony for subsequent offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill also requires the state\u2019s Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force to run \u201cenforcement operations\u201d against anyone whose FOID card has been revoked or suspended and who has not surrendered their firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill instructs the Task Force to prioritize individuals who present \u201ca clear and present danger to themselves or to others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state\u2019s process for vetting applicants and issuing FOID cards has come under fire in recent years, especially during the last six months<\/a>. The new legislation aims to expedite that process by allowing for electronic FOID cards and electronic fingerprints. The bill also removes the requirement to renew a FOID card if the cardholder also has a valid concealed carry license that has not expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The universal background check requirement goes into effect Jan. 1, 2024. All other provisions take effect Jan. 1, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
