Illinois magazine ban on the move
Anti-gun Chicago Sen. Antonio Munoz today filed an amendment to SB1002 that would result in the banning and confiscation of all magazines over 10 rounds. If Munoz's bill passes, you'd go to jail longer for having a standard AR-15 magazine in your own home than you would if you robbed a liquor store. The Illinois State Rifle Association urges everyone to immediately contact your State Senator and politely tell the person who answers the phone that you are a law-abiding Illinois firearm owner who opposes SB1002. Advise the person further that you would like the Senator to vote against SB1002 should it come to the floor. Then be sure to pass this on to your friends and family, tell them to make calls as well, and post this alert to any and all Internet blogs and bulletin boards to which you belong.

A bill that was less extreme (Allowed grandfathering) was already defeated this year. This is ...well Insanity. Isin't that the definition of doing something over and over again expecting a different result?
Its funny but sad, Illinois is in financially worse shape than California. We have a huge pension issue, rampant unemployment, an illegal immigrant problem, a crime problem(in Chicago and several other areas), A spending problem and a problem of being anti business. But what are the legislatures priorities? Medical Marijuana, Gay marriage, anti gun measures, new regulation on Pee-Wee football....No one kicks the can down the road like Illinois. Thats not even mentioning the deadline for CC put in place by the 7th.

Either some sort of compromise bill passes. Which you can then make more and more restrictive over time. Or you get to portray the other side as extremists. If everything breaks your way, maybe you can then defeat some of them in the next election cycle. And then you can pass some version of your bill. Gregg |
