The legislation\u00a0does allow a local unit to regulate the possession of a pneumatic gun in someone under the age of 16 unless it is on their private property as well as allow a local unit to prohibit discharging of a pneumatic gun in heavily populated areas.<\/p>\n

The League is opposed to this legislation.<\/p>\n
