Illinois: Gun Control Comes to Your Doctor’s Office

Sun, Feb 8, 2026

After ramming through deadly ‘safe storage’ laws last session in the form of Senate Bill 8, J.B. Pritzker and his allies in Springfield are hoping to massively expand this law.

Their weapon of choice is HB-1398. It turns your child’s pediatrician into a gun control activist.

Here’s exactly what the bill would do:

👉 Require pediatricians to ask children about guns in the home
👉 Force them to question kids about how the guns are stored
👉 Make them push state-approved anti-gun materials to kids

Here’s the trap: doctors are mandatory reporters.

So if your child ‘admits’ that his Dad has a Glock in the nightstand in violation of SB-8, your doctor will contact the State Police who will launch a criminal investigation.

Like the rest of Pritzker’s attack on gun rights, this bill has nothing to do with stopping criminals.

Criminals don’t take their kids to pediatricians.
Criminals don’t answer questionnaires.
Criminals don’t comply.

HB-1398 targets us — parents, grandparents, and responsible gun owners — by turning routine medical visits into government fishing expeditions.

The Illinois Firearms Association is mobilizing now to shut HB-1398 down — but we need every gun owner engaged.

Please take action immediately. The pre-written email link goes automatically to your Senator’s and Representatives’ inbox; it’s an automatic process.

After your email is submitted, please donate $10, $25, or $50 to help us get the word out to more gun owners through digital ads, text alerts, and more.

Springfield Democrats are counting on gun owners being distracted.

We’re not going to give them that luxury.

Stand with us.
Fight back.
And help us stop HB-1398 before it becomes law.

For Illinois,

Aaron Dorr
Executive Director

P.S. HB-1398 doesn’t make kids safer — it makes families vulnerable. Take action now to help us shut this bill down and send a clear message: our kids are not pawns in Pritzker’s gun control agenda.
