Bump Stocks Survive in Springfield

Today the Illinois House voted on a ban of firearm bump stocks. The devices used in Las Vegas to increase the rate of fire to nearly fully automatic speed, contributing to the death of 58 people and injury of 546 more. Today, Illinois rejected the ban.
Photos are not a close approximation, but you get my point?
Tim Butler (R-87), Sarah Wojcicki Jimenez (R-99) and Sue Scherer (D-96) all whose districts overlap Springfield, voted against the bill. so this isn't a partisan issue apparently. Jimenez isn't running for reelection, Tim Butler ran unopposed in the last election. Scherer was unopposed in the last general election but did have opponents in the primary. Source: Ballotpedia.org
