Official account for Illinois State Representative Bob Morgan, proudly serving the residents of the 58th District

Highwood, IL
3 years ago Illinois banned assault weapons, high capacity magazines, and rapid-fire devices. Illinois is undeniably safer - we have had fewer mass shootings and less gun violence. We will keep making progress, and won’t let the gun industry dictate the safety of our state.👊💪
1-year ago, Illinois banned assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. That’s 365 days of nonproliferation of weapons of war in our communities. Thousands of volunteers and years of advocacy defeated the gun lobby in the Capitol and the courts. (1/5) @MomsDemand

Chag Sukkot Sameach to all who celebrate! One of my favorite traditions of Sukkot is building the sukkah with my family. It’s a chance for us to spend time together, appreciate the beauty of nature around us, and welcome the beginning of fall. #sukkot #chagsameach

This EO from @GovPritzker is exactly the seriousness and urgency with which Illinois needs to move with regards to AI Safety. An Illinois AI Cabinet could not come at a better time. cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/3a9…
