(AP Photo\/Charles Rex Arbogast)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 7:22 PM PT \u2013 Sunday, July 10, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called for a national ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. His remarks on Sunday, come in wake of a mass shooting in Highland Park where a gunman killed seven people and wounded dozens of others during a Fourth of July parade.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rep. Bob Morgan (D-Ill.), \u201ceverything is on the table.\u201d Morgan was marching in the Highland Park parade on Monday with his wife, 4-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son when the dozens of shots rang out just two blocks away. The Deerfield Democrat said he ran toward the scene and is grappling with the traumatic aftermath of the bloodshed.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf anyone\u2019s going to reject any single solution, well they\u2019re going to hear about that from me,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cAnd so, everything has to be on the table and we have to look at this as a comprehensive problem because it really is a comprehensive problem.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The gun epidemic is not just a Chicago or an Illinois problem. This is an American problem. The bipartisan compromise is a start but it is not enough. We must end the NRA\u2019s stranglehold on Washington, ban assault weapons, and close the gun show loophole.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lori Lightfoot (@LoriLightfoot) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LoriLightfoot\/status\/1545581501957345280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 9, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The 21-year-old suspect\u2019s parents reportedly entrusted him with military-style rifles at a young age and he passed four background checks for a gun license despite past police encounters.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker\u2019s office is looking at everything from training and education about the Firearm Restraining Order or the \u201cRed Flag\u201d law designed to keep guns away from those deemed a danger to themselves or others. They are also putting into state statute the amount of time a \u201cclear and present danger\u201d file should be kept, even if it\u2019s unfounded.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty simple bill. It bans military style weapons and high-capacity magazines,\u201d stated Rep. Maura Hirschauer (D-Ill.). \u201cThe general public in Illinois has clearly said that those types of weapons are designed for the battlefield not for hunting or any reasonable use. We are moving forward with it. I\u2019m working it from the ground up, roll calling, gathering support and just really doing my homework on it.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pritzker said he doesn\u2019t think weapons should be in the hands of the general public.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-moran-is-seeking-re-election-in-kansas\/\">Sen.
