Our team at The 21st and Illinois Public Media continues to work hard to bring you stories about how people across the state are being affected by coronavirus. We're making it easier for Illinoisans to connect with us and share their experiences and thoughts with our new initiative "Text The 21st."
In 1939, Dr. Bill Gingold was born in Warsaw. His family escaped the Nazis and lived in Siberia before making a new life in Illinois.
For the final part of the show, The 21st was joined by the dean of the University of Illinois College of Law to discuss legal issues surrounding Illinois' assault weapons ban and the second amendment more broadly.
For the second part of the show, we were joined by opponents of the assault weapons ban to get their takes on its constitutionality and continue our discussion of the law.
Today, we spent the entire hour discussing Illinois' new assault weapons ban. For the first part of the show, we were joined by three supporters of the ban to discuss why they back the law.
