Advocates on both sides of the debate around gun control are using this week to champion their issues.
On Tuesday, hundreds of gun control advocates, including some from Minnesota, discussed their priorities during a rally at the Illinois Statehouse. One Aim Illinois Deputy Director Yolanda Androzzo pushed for gun control measures.
Thursday, the Illinois State Rifle Association and other gun rights groups will be in Springfield. Mandi Ehler (A-ler), a member of the ISRA board, said they expect thousands to arrive and lobby their legislators.
Illinois Gun Owner Lobby Day begins at a convention center in Springfield at 10, followed by a march through downtown toward the state capitol.
