(Phone Poll) Please help us out here in Illinois.

I am asking for THR members to help us out here in IL. All remaining gun shops in Cook county are being threatened by a proposed ordinance that has been getting a lot of attention. Aside from closing all remaining shops, the county would force residents to register all guns in their possession, and TURN IN any handgun that does not have a 'chamber load indicator'. Few if any handguns can comply with requirement.

The so-called 'Safe Streets/Weapons Registration Ordinance' appears on the surface to be some sort of gun registration scheme. However, closer examination reveals that this is a gun confiscation program. A program that will make all of Cook county as safe as Chicago. Yes, good old Chicago, the murder capitol of the USA.

Please help us out here and vote.

Call 312-603-6400
Press 1 when prompted.
You will be prompted again, Press 1.
Now after prompted to vote Press 2 to oppose the ordinance.

Thank you-

Just voted, I grew up in Chicago. Gun laws are absolutely nuts there.
