Illinois Passes Bill To Remove Guns From Alleged Abusers
Update: 2025-01-13
Description
Karina’s Bill was passed by the Illinois General Assembly last Tuesday, closing a loophole that allowed those accused of domestic violence to keep their guns. The measure is named in honor of Karina Gonzalez, a woman from Little Village who – along with her daughter, 15 – was fatally shot by her husband in July 2023. To learn more about what the legislation changes in Illinois, Reset sits down with two advocates who work closely with survivors of domestic violence: Stephanie Love-Pattersono, CEO of The National Network to End Domestic Violence; and Maralea Negron, director of policy, advocacy and research at The Network.
