Illinois gun ban (again)
********THIS HAS BEEN AROUND, BUT JUST A REMINDER*******
URGENT GUN RIGHTS ALERT - IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
The Illinois Senate is about to debate a ban on semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.
If passed, you would have 90 days to register your guns with the State Police or face arrest and felony prosecution.
If you were caught with an AR-15 and 4 magazines, you'd get life in prison.
THREE THINGS YOU MUST DO TO SAVE YOUR GUN RIGHTS
1. Beginning on Tuesday, March 6th, call your State Senator and POLITELY tell him or her that you are opposed to Senate Bill 16 - the Daley Assault Weapons Ban - and that you would like them to vote against Senate Bill 16 when it comes to the floor. If you do not know who your State Senator is, then visit the following web site: www.ilga.gov: <http://www.ilga.gov/> and then click on the "Legislator Lookup" link in the lower right hand corner of the home page. Follow the instructions at that link.
2. Pass this alert along to all your gun-owing friends; tell them to call their State Senators also.
3. Please post this alert to any and all Internet Bulleting Boards and Internet sites to which you belong.
IF YOU DO NOT ACT NOW, YOU MAY HAVE NO GUNS LEFT BY THE 4TH OF JULY

Holy sheep bababooey...
Illinois needs a revolution up there to una$$ Daley and Blagovich. These two run the state like is it their own personal country. People want to bash Bush about trashing the Constititution? These two use it to wipe their a$$es with.
Damn glad I live in a state that likes firearms...0 -

Guess its a matter of priorities.
More important to get those killer guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens than locking up child molesters.0 -
..Interesting that when I contacted my reps in DC concerning HR 1022 and requested responses, I heard nothing. My reps in Springfield, about this one, e-mailed back within a couple hours. There may be hope. 0 -
The government is striving for an unarmed population. That's why it's a priority. There is no other answer that I can come up with. I've tried.
They don't need to worry about child molesters. They won't ever affect them so they don't care. They don't care how many thousands of Americans are killed in countless other preventable ways every year. All the rest doesn't matter. As long as they can unarm everyone and turn the place into a police state. Stupid, content, morons will keep electing them (or help by not voting at all).
The people won't care until the government starts performing random house to house searches, kicking in doors in the middle of the night. In the name of 'security' of course.0 -
Cook County rules Illinois, unfortunately this has a serious chance of becoming State law. Fortunately, many other States have advanced in the area of pro gun legislation. 0 -
Believe me! Illinois is the midwest answer for Kommifornia and New Dork. They strive to be like the civilized states! The state is run by the Chicago Mob of pirates feeding like sharks on a wounded walrus. These people all belong in jail,,period..imo,,,nambu 0 -

Well, we just sent the last governor to prison. Who knows who could be next? Still a lot of shady business going on I hear.
I can't believe the Feds haven't found enough dirt on Dailey to put him away. He SHOULD be in prison! A normal person would be by now. Instead, people hail him as some type of hero. Chicago needs a change. The guy's gotten too comfortable in the position. You'd think the stupid people would want a change. But who knows? For all we know, the election is rigged. I've heard 'the deceased' still play a pretty large role in society there. Everything from still receiving parking tickets to casting votes!
Corruption at it's finest.
I want to get out of this hole so bad. I'm so fed up with it. If the ban passes, it will be the last straw. I guess the Armalite factory will have to close up and move out of state with me, too. Some new community will benefit from it. We have proposed bans like this on a yearly basis. It's only a matter of time before they get one passed. If it's defeated, it won't matter. They'll be at it again next year.
I'd love to be able to change the state for the better. I want to stay where my family has lived for generations, but they leave me no choice. I'm ready to leave family and friends behind if I have to. I'm fed up with my job anyway. I don't want to pay taxes to a state like this the rest of my life. It could've been a decent place to live too. It's really a shame. The rest of the state is pretty decent folks just that Chicago drags it all down.0 -
God damn it not again. 0 -
I'll keep my opinion to myself to prevent the shrieks of "RACISM!" 0 -
How do i view the bill? I need to read it. 0 -
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that 90 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act, it is unlawful for any person within this State to knowingly manufacture, deliver, sell, purchase, or possess or cause to be manufactured, delivered, sold, purchased, or possessed a semi-automatic assault weapon, an assault weapon attachment, any .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge. Provides that beginning 90 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act, it is unlawful for any person within this State to knowingly manufacture, deliver, sell, purchase, or possess or cause to be manufactured, delivered, sold, purchased, or possessed a large capacity ammunition feeding device. Provides that these provisions do not apply to a person who possessed a prohibited weapon, device, or attachment before the effective date of this amendatory Act if the person has provided proof of ownership to the Department of State Police within 90 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act. Provides that on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act, such person may transfer such device only to an heir, an individual residing in another state maintaining that device in another state, or a dealer licensed as a federal firearms dealer. Specifies penalties for violations. Provides exemptions. Provides that the provisions of the Act are severable. Effective immediately.
This is crazy. 9 senators are co-sponsoring this bill.
I'm sure the gangbangers in Chicago are shaking in their boots now!0 -
What the hell would they care none of them probably even have a foid card ha frigging joke 0 -
Check out this laundry list from Senator Antonio Munoz:
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=09500SB0016sam001&GA=95&SessionId=51&DocTypeId=SB&DocNum=0016&GAID=9
(ii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially
5 or completely encircles the barrel, and that
6 permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the
7 non-trigger hand without being burned;
[:0] MY GOD THESE PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS!!!!!0 -
I am not going to sleep good at all tonight this is now worse than HR1022 for me and for the rest of you. It might actually set a precedence if it goes though and with all the chicago polititians it might make it ill do my best not to same goes to HR 1022. The ball stops here. Some will say why dont you move sooner or later it will catch you. 0 -
I'm still trying to get over this. I'm just in awe of this bill. If you read the whole thing, all pump shotguns with a fixed magazine capacity of 5 rounds (basically all shotguns) ARE INCLUDED in the ban. It's so confusing, I can't figure out what would be legal and what wouldn't be. This is a ban like I've never seen! How do you provide proof of ownership to the #$%$#**&$ police!? Bring everything down to the shop and throw it on their table for inspection? I HATE THIS STATE!!!!! Time to write some letters before it's too late. 0 -
People can't give up on this. Do what you can!! The only way it will end if the feds get Blsgogripe and Dsley on the charges that they are looking st. Good god, look snywhere you will find dung on them. nambu 0 -
State wouldnt be so bad is Chicago burst into flames yet again. 0 -
If you need to find what district you're in, here's a map:

Senate district numbers are in black.0 -
Why oh why can't the anti-gun liberals make it so that if you committ a violent crime with an AR-15 and 4 mags THEN that particular criminal automatically spends his/her life in prison? Oh wait. That would be too tough on the criminals and would not even touch us peaceful lawful AR-15 gun owners. That would definately not please the anti-gun liberals.
Nevermind.0 -

The way I read it, it says that pumps are excluded."Semi-automatic assault weapon" does not
24 include:
25 (A) any firearm that:
26 (i) is manually operated by bolt, pump, lever,

Every body run out and buy a .50 cal. Black powder. Then on the last day flood the cops with turning them in. If they don't take it get a signed note and register the note at the county court house.
That should stand up in court if your caught with a barrett. Just show your get out of following the law ticket.0 -
NO!!!! I hate this F'in state. BS gun laws and BS politicians. I will be bombarding them with Calls, email, and letters. I just hope it helps. 0 -
Does Illinois Law enforcement even have the manpower to consficate weapons at a State wide level? Do I smell a revolution? 0 -

Have you been to the state fair. It's like a state trooper convention.0 -
We moved to Iowa from Illinois in 1967. Best move my folks ever made. However I feel for all my other relatives left there in commie land. I usually go back for one reason or the other every year, and I always pack. They have no conceal carry laws, and my cousins think I'm crazy, but I have a Constitutional Right to do so. That preceeds any of their states commie laws in my book.
If the rest of Illinois was smart they would kick Cook county out of the state and make it a Republic where they can do as they wish. My cousins complain all the time how a few in Cook County regulate all laws for the rest of the state. I see it and it's not fair.0 -
Under this bill Rock River would have to move out of the state.
I would think it would suck to be a manufacturer in a a state where the governor does not want your tax dollars and whats you to leave.0 -
If you were caught with an AR-15 and 4 magazines, you'd get life in prison
That is so funny! Hell we can't aford to keep most of our felons in prison due to the cost of beds! Who came up with that nutty bill?[:0]0
