The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence gives Illinois a middle of the road 35 out of a possible 100 point scorecard ranking of gun legislation:
 
"While Illinois has some common sense gun laws, the state lacks many gun laws that would stop the flow of illegal guns and protect children, according to the Brady Campaign.

In the organization’s 2011 state scorecards released for all 50 states, Illinois earned 35 points out of a total of 100."
