Senator Morrison has long prioritized gun violence prevention as a cornerstone of her legislative agenda. Nearly a decade ago, Senator Morrison demonstrated foresight and leadership by proposing a ban on assault weapons, a move that showcased her proactive stance on curbing gun violence in Illinois. This proposal was one of the first of its kind in Illinois.
Senator Morrison remained committed to improving community safety and succeeded in passing Illinois “Red Flag '' law to allow family members and law enforcement officials to ask a judge that guns be temporarily removed if they have concerns that someone is a threat to themselves or others. She also proudly supported the passing of Illinois’ assault weapons ban in 2023.
She is a determined advocate for safer communities and continues spearheading comprehensive gun control measures aimed at preventing tragedies.
