With gun violence still a persistent problem despite recent drops in Chicago, Gov. JB Pritzker signed a pair of gun control efforts into law Monday — one that requires Illinoisans to more quickly report lost firearms and another mandating law enforcement agencies statewide participate in a federal gun tracing platform.

Pritzker acknowledged there is no one reason Chicago's homicide rate is down 3% from last year, shootings down 40%, and carjackings down 50%.

The Safe Gun Storage Act requires owners to keep weapons in a locked box around minors and at-risk individuals. Another bill requires law enforcement agencies to use a federal tracing system to track firearms.
