Days after a rooftop gunman killed seven people at a parade, attention has turned to how the assailant obtained multiple guns and whether the laws on Illinois books could have prevented the Independence Day massacre.
The law is separate from domestic violence restraining orders and laws that mandate reporting of certain behavior by some professional, such as teachers.
Illinois state police, who issue gun owners’ licenses, said in a statement that the then-19-year-old applied for a license in December 2019. Applicants under 21 require a parent or legal guardian to sponsor the application. His father sponsored his. A family attorney, Steve Greenberg, told the Chicago Tribune that the father was not aware of the threats when he helped his son with the application because his son lived with another relative at the time.
The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority cites tracking done by one advocacy group, Speak for Safety Illinois, that reports 34 firearm restraining orders were filed in 2019 and 19 in 2020. Most were granted.
