In the weeks following the mass shooting in her town on July 4, Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering has spoken tirelessly to lawmakers about gun control legislation.
"We owe it to those who experienced the horror in our town, in country. We owe it to our children," she said.
The Lake County Board has no authority to ban weapons, but at Tuesday's meeting, they considered a resolution to support a state bill that would ban both automatic weapons and large magazines for ammunition.
"Our legislators need to hear from us that they want to live our lives freely," said Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart.
