Mailers misleading on gun safety positionsOct 22, 2018 1:00 AM - The November race for voters in the Illinois 24th Legislative District has Suzy Glowiak, Western Springs resident and former village trustee representing the Democratic Party, pitted against incumbent State Sen. Chris Nybo, a Republican who resides in Elmhurst, holding the position since 2014. A few things about Suzy's campaign strike me as off. The first is that her campaign literature states that Chris Nybo cannot be trusted to support gun safety. Fact is Nybo worked with chief sponsor State Sen. Don Harmon, an Oak Park Democrat, to craft a revised version of the Gun Dealer License Certificate Act (SB337) that ensures gun dealers operate safely but removed the bureaucratic red tape that would have hurt small businesses. This ensured businesses are only selling firearms to individuals who are legally permitted to carry them.
