Folks, we're running out of time to make our decisions on what to do with our braced firearms.  And additional information has rolled across our desk.  Here's the latest. The registration portal for a "complimentary" tax stamp to formally become part of the Class III fraternity closes at 11:59pm on…

So far at least, Governor Pritzker and the Illinois State Police (ISP) have remained mum about Tom DeVore’s named individual plaintiffs buying and/or selling popular self-defense guns and the magazines that feed them.
