Wow, that is surprising

Lawmakers were able to push a measure lifting the ban on suppressors in The Land of Lincoln halfway through the legislature Tuesday night.

The National Firearm Act regulated sound moderating devices are legal for citizens to use in 42 states and a bipartisan group of legislators and advocates in Illinois have in recent years been progressively supporting adding the state to that list with past bills introduced in the House and Senate to do just that.

The latest push came in a House floor amendment from Rep. Brandon W. Phelps, D-Harrisburg, on Sunday that added language to a Senate bill to remove the prohibition on suppressors and silencers and allow for their use in hunting. It immediately picked up 18 co-sponsors and passed the House in a 69-46 vote on its third reading Tuesday night just before the end of session.

Phelps had backed similar legislation last session, arguing such a proposal would help mitigate hearing loss among hunters and shooters.
