Two steps back on
assault g un bill
Elmhurst Republican Daniel Cronin says he expects
assault gun legislation in Springfield to undergo
additional changes as it winds through the Senate.
We certainly hope so,because thanks to Cronin and
Senate President James "Pate" Philip the proposal took a
couple of big steps backward Wednesday.
Cronin, at Philip's behest,sponsored a pair of
amendments,approved by an 8-to-6 committee vote, that
will, if allowed to stand, turn Gov. Jim Edgar's original
assault gun bill on its head.
One amendment removes the core of the governor's bill
by eliminating the ban on more than 80 models of assault
guns—easily concealed weapons with the capacity to hold
and fire unusually large quantities of ammunition
Instead of the ban, Philip's amendment would merely
require an additional firearm owners identification card
for those who want to own one of the models Edgar would
ban. Philip would ban a few models but waters down even
that provision with a grandfather clause for those who
already own these weapons.
Philip says he wants to protect those who have a
legitimate reason to own the guns Edgar would ban. But
these are generally military-style weapons with virtually
no utility for hunting or personal protection.Trust us on
this much:A high-powered semi-automatic gun named
the"Streetsweeper"is not made or marketed to appeal to
duck hunters.To the contrary,the weapons in question
are popular among urban gangs,and State Police Director
Terry Gainer flatly says that"If we didn't have these
guns,we would not have as many people killed."
A separate amendment offered by Philip and supported
by committee Republicans—including suburban
legislators Adeline Geo-Karis,Doris Karpiel, Dick Klemm
and Steven Rauschenberger—would do municipalities
and counties a disservice byoverturning local ordinances
that ban or regulate the sale or possession of some_types
of guns.
Granted,strong statewide gun laws are preferable to
patchwork local ordinances. But in the absence of
stronger state legislation, there's nothing wrong with
local governments adopting more stringent measures.
In discussing the amendments,Philip said he'd been
hearing only from opponents of the assault-gun ban and
not from supporters.
All suburban residents who favor stronger gun laws
ought to change that. Everyone who thinks a ban of
military-style assault weapons is reasonable regulation
ought to pick up the phone and tell Philip and his or her
own senator and representative that Edgar had the.right
idea in the first place and that Wednesday's committee
amendments need to be removed before the bill goes any
further.

Elgin,IL 60120
Dear Mr. Gruber:
The issue of escalating crime, particularly violent crime, has received statewide
• and national attention in recent months. You know as well as anybody that
there are many reasons for increasing crime and a variety of approaches to solve
these problems. But one needed step is limiting the proliferation and availability
of firearms.
"" The Illinois Campaign to Ban Assault Weapons is a newly-formed statewide,
bipartisan organization with a single purpose: enactment of legislation banning
the sale, possession and manufacture of semi-automatic assault weapons. The
Campaign seeks enactment of such legislation during the Spring 1994 session of
the Illinois General Assembly.
A ban on these weapons of destruction does not remove the right of law-abiding
qualified citizens to possess a legal firearm for hunting or home protection
purposes. It would be one of many steps we must all take to assist our officers in
making our streets safer.
•
The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police has endorsed our efforts and we are
now reaching out individually to the chiefs of police of municipalities
throughout Illinois to join our campaign.
A number of Illinois elected officials have recently introduced legislation to ban
semi-automatic assault weapons. Historically, however, there has been strong
. opposition to enact effective gun control legislation. We cannot sit back and
presume the General Assembly will pass legislation banning semi-automatic
assault weapons, nor let this issue get lost in election-year volatility. We must
work to make sure it happens. By joining the Campaign, you will help send a
message to our elected officials that they must act this session to ban semi-
ik automatic assault weapons.
•
•
One way to demonstrate support for an assault weapon ban across the state is for
local municipalities to pass a resolution in favor of banning assault weapons. As
chief of police,your efforts to work with local officials to pass a resolution banning
assault weapons could be a very effective way to showcase the support of your•
community.
In order to have an impact on this session in Springfield,these resolutions must be
enacted by Friday,April 29. Enclosed please find background information on the
Campaign,including a sample resolution. We look forward to working with you on
this crucial issue and will follow up with you soon. In the meantime,please don't
hesitate to call our toll-free number, 800-664-8671,for more information.
Thank you for your consideration and for any assistance you might provide.

About the Campaign
•The Illinois Campaign to Ban Assault Weapons is a new and growing
statewide effort seeking enactment of legislation outlawing the
manufacture, sale or possession of semi-automatic assault weapons in the
state. The Campaign seeks passage of legislation in the Spring 1994
session of the Illinois General Assembly. The Campaign's activities will
include grassroots advocacy and public education.
• The Campaign was organized by community leaders from across Illinois
who want to stop the horrendous human, emotional and financial toll taken
by gun violence generally, and by assault weapon violence in particular.
• Public opinion in Illinois overwhelmingly supports a ban on assault
weapons. Leaders of both major political parties in the state have called for
• the ban. Even so, concerted grassroots action is needed to counteract the
clout of the National Rifle Association and other opponents of sensible gun
controls. We need to make legislators aware of the depth of feeling among
those supporting the assault weapon ban.
•
• Even though federal legislation banning assault weapons is pending in
Congress, there is no guarantee that measure will pass. Action at the state
level could help spur eventual passage of a nationwide ban.
• Membership in the Illinois Campaign to Ban Assault Weapons is
representative of Illinois' diversity, and includes citizens in business,
education, health care, law enforcement, social services, philanthropy,
religion, the environment and many other fields.
• The Campaign is bipartisan. It supports any legislation, sponsored by
Republicans or Democrats, to outlaw semi-automatic assault weapons. A
statewide public opinion poll published in February by the Chicago Tribune
found that 72 percent of Republican voters and 76 percent of Democratic
voters favor a ban on assault weapons.
• The Campaign supports efforts of other organizations and coalitions whose
agendas include an assault weapon ban, and is working with these groups.
• Among other states that have outlawed assault weapons are New Jersey.
California, Connecticut and Hawaii. Legislation is pending in several states,
including Florida, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

Facts About Assault Weapons and Assault Weapon wolenoe
•The semi-automatic assault weapons identified in legislation sought
by the lllinois Campaign to Ban Assault Weapons exist only to kill and
maim people. They are weapons designed and built for one purpose: to
kill human beings in combat. They serve no legitimate sporting
purpose.
• These lightweight, easily transportable handguns and rifles have
high-capacity ammunition clips. The danger of these weapons is that
they typically hold eight, 15 and as many as 100 rounds of
ammunition. They allow a high number of bullets to be fired in a very
short period of time and can be reloaded rapidly. Many of these guns
can readily be converted to fully automatic weapons, meaning all
ammunition can be fired with one pull of the trigger.
• Semi-automatic assault weapons, especially high-capacity handguns,
are becoming a greater factor in the violence caused by street gangs
and drug dealers, which often kills or injures innocent bystanders.
"Tile 9-mm pistol, in particular the Tec-9, has become the
weapon of choice on the streets for gang members and drug dealers."
-- Jerry Singer, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
as quoted by the Chicago Tribune, January 16, 1994
• A December 1993 study of street gang crime in Chicago by the
National Institute of Justice found that the death weapon in 95
•
percent of gang-motivated homicides was a gun. And, much of the
increase in gang-motivated homicides from 1987 to 1990 was an
increase in killings with large-caliber, automatic or semi-automatic
weapons. The number killed with an automatic or semi-automatic gun
'of 38 caliber or greater increased from 24 in 1987 to 70 in 1990.
'Therefore,.. reducing the availability of these most dangerous
weapons may also reduce the risk of death in street gang-plagued
communities."
•
-- Street Gang Crime in Chicago
National Institute of Justice, December 1993
•
•
r
eak • The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobact;o and Firearms reports that
semi-automatic weapons show up in disproportionate numbers when
the ATF traced guns used in crimes. While such weapons constitute
only about 1 percent of all guns in America, they show up in 10
percent of all crimes.
• The National Centers for Disease Control recently announced that in
1991, Illinois became the third state in which deaths due to gun
misuse outnumbered deaths due to vehicle accidents. From 1987 to
1991, deaths due to gun misuse increased by 34 percent, more than
double the national average.
• The number of assault weapons recovered and submitted to the
Firearms Unit of the Chicago Police Department laboratory increased
from 264 in 1991 to 429 in 1993 -- an increase of more than 62
percent.
• In addition to the human toll it takes, gun violence -- especially
involving assault weapons -- has a disproportionate impact on our
health care system. Chicago-area hospitals report that in 1992, more
than $37 million in medical bills was generated in Chicago by 2,500
people treated in emergency rooms for injuries inflicted by firearms.
In 1987, treatment of gunshot victims consumed 15 percent of the
Cook County Hospital trauma center budget. Five years later, it was 35
percent.
• The increase in assault weapon violence is underscored by the
number of multiple gunshot wound victims. Two years ago, 8 percent
of those taken to the trauma unit at Christ Hospital and Medical
Center in Oak Lawn were victims of multiple gunshots. Last year, it was
56 percent. Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago reports that in
the past several years, the number of gunshot victims incurring
multiple wounds has increased from 5 percent to 25 percent.
• For nearly every death due to gunfire, there are 14 survivors,
according to the Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital and Care Network in
Chicago. Many of the survivors require costly resuscitation and
rehabilitation if they are to have any chance for survival and meaningful
quality of life.
•The Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital and Care Network reports a
dramatic increase in the number of gunfire survivors with multiple
wounds inflicted by assault and semi-automatic weapons. One year ago,
multiple gunshot wounds constituted 41 percent of all spinal cord
injuries due to gunfire treated at Schwab. For the past six months, fully
86 percent of all spinal injuries due to gunfire were multiple gunshot
rak wounds.

Assault Weapon v'ioienoe and Our Health Care System
• In addition to the human and emotional toll taken by gun violence,
especially assault weapon violence, gunfire has a significant and
disproportionate impact on our health care system. Chicago-area
hospitals report that in 1992, more than $37 million in medical bills
was generated by 2,500 people treated in emergency rooms for
injuries inflicted by firearms. In 1987, treatment of gunshot victims
ate up 15 percent of the Cook County Hospital trauma center budget.
Five years later, it was 35 percent.
• The increase in assault weapon violence is underscored by the
number of multiple gunshot wound victims. Two years ago, 8 percent
of those taken to the trauma unit at Christ Hospital and Medical
Center in Oak Lawn were victims of multiple gunshots. Last year, it was
56 percent. Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago reports that in
the past several years, the number of gunshot victims incurring
multiple wounds has increased from 5 percent to 25 percent.
• For nearly every death due to gunfire, there are 14 survivors,
according to the Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital and Care Network in
Chicago. Many of the survivors require costly resuscitation and
rehabilitation if they are to have any chance for survival and meaningful
quality of life.
• The Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital and Care Network reports a
dramatic increase in the number of gunfire survivors with multiple.
wounds inflicted by assault and semi-automatic weapons. One year ago,
multiple gunshot wounds constituted 41 percent of all spinal cord
injuries due to gunfire treated at Schwab. For the past six months, fully
86 percent of all spinal injuries due to gunfire were the result of
multiple gunshot wounds.
• Lifetime costs for neurologic and multi-organ injury are immense,
sometimes requiring $100,000 a year over a lifetime. With
improvements in medical care, prolonged survival is the rule, and
lifetime medical costs alone can reach $3 million to $5 million.

ILLINOIS POLICE CHIEFS URGE PASSAGE OF ASSAULT WEAPON BAN
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police has sent letters to Governor Edgar and
the legislative leaders, urging passage this session of legislation to ban the manufacture, possession and
sale of assault weapons in Illinois, it was announced today.
"It is our position that there is no legitimate use for assault weapons. They are weapons of war and
• used only to hurt and kill," the law enforcement group said in the letter. "The availability of such
weapons of death has made random gang violence against innocent victims and children even easier."
In their letter, the police chiefs note that an assault weapon ban has absolutely no effect on the right
of law-abiding qualified citizens to possess a legal firearm for hunting or protecting their homes.
"It would, however, be only one of many steps we need to take together to assist police in making our
streets safer for all of us and our children," the chief's said. The letter was signed by Mt. Prospect
Police Chief Ronald W. Pavlock, president of the association, and by George F. Koertge, the group's
executive director.
The letter said support for banning assault weapons is "overwhelming" among Illinois police chiefs. The
association represents 750 chiefs and other law enforcement officials across the state.
The chiefs acknowledged that escalating violence in American society can be attributed to many factors,
and said many coordinated approaches must be taken to solve these problems.
"But in our view, one major contributor is the proliferation and availability of firearms. This is one
reason why the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police strongly supports legislation that will ban assault
weapons in Illinois and throughout the country," the chiefs wrote.
Several measures to ban assault weapons are pending in the General Assembly, sponsored by both
•Republicans and Democrats. The police chiefs urge the lawmakers not to let election-year partisan
politics get in the way of passing the assault weapon ban. •
The legislation is too important to become a victim of partisan politics. The Illinois Association of
Chiefs of Police urges both parties to work together on this important issue, and pledges its cooperation
to making this happen during the spring session. .
