Reducing Gun Violence in Illinois: Policies for 2023 and Beyond
Illinois has among the strongest gun safety laws in the country. However, as gun deaths across the US continue to climb, policy makers are exploring more ways to further reduce firearms injury and death. During this webinar, researchers from Johns Hopkins University will discuss new research and analysis on the state of firearms policy in Illinois, including recommendations across the following policy areas: 1) Firearm Restraining Orders, 2) Firearm Owner’s Identification (“FOID”) Cards, 3) Large Capacity Magazines, and 4) Gun Trafficking. In addition, gun violence prevention advocates from One Aim Illinois and Live Free Illinois will discuss how these recommendations can inform the implementation of current policy and how complementary investments in community violence intervention can further reduce gun violence.<br /><br />This event is presented by the Joyce Foundation
