SPRINGFIELD – In an 83 to 31 vote Wednesday, the Illinois House passed a ban on the sale of bump stocks and trigger cranks – additives that allow the swift firing of large numbers of ammunition.

Those investigating the 2017 Las Vegas massacre reported finding bump stocks attached to semi-automatic weapons in the killer's hotel room.

HB 1467 "prohibits 90 days after the effective date of the bill, the knowing sale, manufacture, purchase, possession, or carrying of a bump stock or trigger crank. Defines 'bump stock' and 'trigger crank'. Establishes penalties. Effective immediately."

The bill will now move to the Illinois Senate. 

Several Republicans joined House Democrat Caucus in supporting the ban: State Rep. Andersson, Batinick, Bellock, Breen, Durkin, David Harris, Ives, Jesiel, Jimenez, McAuliffe, Pritchard, Wehrli, Barbara Wheeler and Keith Wheeler.

UPDATE: GOP gubernatorial primary challenger Jeanne Ives, who sponsored similar legislation earlier in the year, said, "Automatic firearms are illegal in the US. Devices that turn semi-auto firearms into automatic weapons should also be illegal. 
 
"Even the NRA favored a ban on bump stocks following the Las Vegas mass shooting," Ives said in a statement.
 
She suspects federal legislation will be passed in the near future banning bump stocks across the US.
