Guns Save Life's Executive Director John Boch joined Greg Bishop on the Bishop On Air show Thursday morning to talk about the 99.4% non-compliance numbers, options for naughty gun owners in light of the upcoming closure of the gun registration window and a look into the future on several fronts.…

While about 15,000 Illinois gun owners have registered, 2.4 million of us have not.  Instead, we have arrived at the point in the gun registration window that we have to make a final decision:  Do we comply with Pritzker's new gun and magazine ban's registration requirement in one way or…
