Politics News Roundup - September 6, 2024

This week we discuss a shooting on the CTA Blue Line in Forest Park that left four people dead and came just days after a federal judge in Rockford found unconstitutional the part of Illinois’ concealed carry law that prohibits firearms on public transportation. It’s the latest in a series of court challenges to Illinois gun laws. 

A journalist with the Chicago Tribune weighs in on this latest developement in the Illinois gun law saga and IPM's washington correspondent gives a preview of the upcoming presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris next week.
