Lawdog Dago Dom Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Here is an example of Illinois democracy in action. Courtesy of the Illinois State Rifle Association. ISRA Alert - HR398 Lead Shot Ban passes out of the Agriculture and Conservation Committee Today’s action in the Agriculture and Conservation Committee should serve as a lesson to all gun owners in Illinois. Today HR398 which advises restricting lead shot shells passed out of committee on a partisan role call despite 1347 opposing witness slips to 2 proponents. Moreover, only one hour's notice was given on today's hearing. Even with such short notice, ISRA members were able to submit well over 1300 witness slips. Thank you for your quick action. All pro gun Democrats were substituted out of the Agriculture and Conservation Committee and replaced by anti gun Democrats. This is a slap in the face to all hunters and sportsmen in Illinois. It is also an attack on Winchester (Olin Corporation) who is a huge manufacturer of ammunition in the State of Illinois. Thousands of jobs would be effected if a lead shot shell ban was ever passed in Illinois. All hunters,sportsmen and gun owners must remember today's lesson, the Chicago Democrats will do anything to try to defeat us.. Link to comment
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Will this restriction apply to only hunting ammunition or target shooting as well? Link to comment

What a FUBAR'D PITA OLG Clerk: Can I help you sir? Guy: Looking for some 12 gauge shells. Clerk: Are they for hunting or target shooting? Guy: Well, both I suppose. Why? Clerk: The hunting shells have a lead substitute, and an excise "green" tax. Which makes them 3 times as expensive as the target shells. Guy: A case of target shells please. Clerk: Cash or charge? Illinois will not lose a chance to gouge a gun owner. We just had a State Rep (Willis) launch a last minute amendment to a Senate bill to screw gun owners. Watched it happen. Will happen again.
