Those fighting against the bill are already promising legal action.
. And now, hundreds of doctors from hospitals, including Northwestern Memorial Hospital, are involved in the fight.Dr. Rogers is the leading trauma surgeon at the University of Chicago Medical Center emergency room. He is one of more than 300 Chicago area doctors who have signed a letter urging state lawmakers to pass the Protect Illinois Communities Act.
"I think the fact that physicians are actually willing to sign this letter is a strong testament to the fact that we've had enough as physicians," Rogers said. "The answer is not legislation," said gun store owner and Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois President Dan Eldridge."I have spoken with leadership on both the House and the Senate side, and simply said: 'No, we're not going to help you build a better mousetrap here. Here's why you can't do this, and we'll litigate it.'"
There have been hearings, but there is still no guarantee the bill will go anywhere – despite a Democratic majority, and despite the Highland Park shooting.
