Dear Governor Pritzker,
It is obvious that you need to declare a state of emergency in Illinois. You need to suspend and forbid the sale of ANY semi-automatic (or automatic) gun in Illinois, for an indefinite period of time
If a court case on your action arrives at the Supreme Court and you thereupon refuse to re-allow these weapons to once again be sold in Illinois, you need to offer to go to jail if that is what the Supreme Court deems for you, when you refuse to re-allow these weapons to continue to be sold.
Sincerely,
Sid Colton, Hyde Park
