SB1165 FOID "Modernization" Act - Two Republicans jumped on as co-sponsors.  If these are your senators, you should call them and let them know this is a mistake to support this bill.

4/14/2021 Senate Added as Co-Sponsor Sen. John F. Curran   4/14/2021 Senate Added as Co-Sponsor Sen. Donald P. DeWitte

They would have us believe they are supporting this bill in order to ward off the "Fix the FOID Act."  They are both bad and neither one should have a single republican vote.
