Illinois Pards...

Just in case you thought it might get better, like that foolish idea we'll see concealed carry anytime soon...

A new piece of sh@# to be aware of...

 

Copied from another website and hoping that it is scheduled for next Tuesday and it wasn't voted on today...

 

 

 

URGENT ALERT – YOUR ACTION NEEDED

MAGAZINE BAN SET FOR A VOTE ON TUESDAY

House Speaker Michael Madigan and his gun-grabber pals have just reintroduced their magazine ban as Amendment12 to HB1156.

 



THIS MAGAZINE BAN WILL BE UP FOR A VOTE ON TUESDAY 

If this ban passes, you will have to go down to the police station and register your magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and you will have to sign an oath that you will never sell them to anyone else. 



 

GUESS HOW MANY CRIMINALS WILL BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER THEIR MAGAZINES? THE ANSWER IS ZERO!

 



Of course, sales of new magazines holding more than 10 rounds would be BANNED.

 It’s very important that you make these calls. We realize that you’ve been called upon to act many times so far this year. But your continued support is crucial. Madigan and the gun-grabbers are hoping that you will get tired of defending your rights.



 

MADIGAN NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF DEFENDING OUR RIGHTS! 

HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS



1. Call your state representative and politely tell them you are a law-abiding gun owner who objects to magazine bans. Politely advise them to vote NO on Amendment 12 – the magazine ban. If you do not know who your state representative is, then the Illinois State Board of Elections has a new interactive search page here:
 www.elections.state.il.us/DistrictLocator/DistrictOfficialSearchByAddress.aspx 

If you know who your representative is, you can find their contact info here:
 www.ilga.gov/house/.



2. Post this alert to any and all Internet Bulletin Boards or blogs to which you subscribe.



3. Pass this alert on to your friends and family and ask them to call their legislators as well.

Update...

 

Another day, another debate. Yesterday the house spent almost 3 hours debating amendments to the carry bills.

 

A reworked magazine ban with a "grandfather" clause was filed. However, you must register yourself and your magazines with the state police.

The State Police have unlimited rule making as to how to enforce is which could mean fees and or anything else they want, like fingerprints.

 

Staff had indicated late Monday that the magazine ban would be part of the special order on firearms on Tuesday. Your calls and our lobbying efforts thwarted that as they did not call the ban for a second vote. We believe they failed to call it because your calls are making the difference and they are still short votes.

 

While leadership is attempting to twist arms to find votes, your calls and emails are making the difference. Keep it up. We know that hearing that there is an impending vote at any minute, gets to be frustrating only to have the vote not take place. But such is the nature of the beast that we are forced to deal with. Chicago politicians control the process and can move things at a moments notice. All we can do is try to keep you, the members, informed as to the latest happenings at the capitol.

 

The fact that they schedule the magazine ban for a vote then don't follow through is a testament to your effectiveness and fact that you are among the most dedicated Second Amendment supporters in the country. The fact that you have held back the Chicago machine should be a badge of honor.

 

Keep it up and keep making those calls. Together we will prevail.

 

Adding my two cents worth... Know that they have tried any number of moves like submitting a "BLANK BILL" that is to say a blank piece of paper that they would then add amandments to after they got it passed. You have to admire the "Brass" of the Chicago Combine. My puke green is my words or thoughts and the black will be what I get as stolen from other info sites like the IL Rifle Ass.
