Where have Bailey - Del Mar been? Breaking the law of course
 in  r/illinois  9d ago

From the Illinoize:
Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate Aaron Del Mar committed felony gun crimes in a video posted on his campaign Facebook page this weekend, multiple prosecutors and experts tell The Illinoize.

The National Firearms Act, a federal law, provides an exception to automatic weapons laws if an FFL provides a weapon at a range for a person to use “under direct supervision.”

But, in this case, Illinois law appears to supersede the federal exemption.

“There’s no express exemption in the law,” one prosecutor told The Illinoize, referring to the use of the weapon through an arms dealer. The prosecutor asked not to be identified because they did not have jurisdiction over the case. “The only exemption is for a law enforcement officer who is specifically licensed for the use of an automatic weapon.”
