Warning!!
Statewide Firearm Ban Moves Forward in IL!
Legislation Advances to Senate Floor for Debate and Possible Vote Thursday!
HB 815 amendment 1& 2 and HB1263 amendments 5 & 6 were approved along party lines (Democrats supporting, Republicans opposing) and passed out of the Senate Public Health Committee last night. Both bills now proceed to the full Senate for a floor debate and vote, possibly as soon as today.
If passed the bills would ban most all semi-auto handguns, rifles, and shotguns as well as pump rifle and shotguns. The proposed legislation would also close down most shooting ranges and clubs that are open to the public or conduct events open to the public. Included in the legislation is a ban on ammunition magazines with a capacity to hold more than 10 rounds, a requirement to register all guns and magazines with the Illinois State Police.
We cannot allow Chicago politicians to spread Chicago's disregard for the Second Amendment and their outrageous treatment of law abiding gun owners to the rest of the state.
Call your IL State Senator NOW and urge him/her to vote no on HB 815 and HB 1263! Call Senate President John Cullerton and let him know you do not appreciate Chicago-style gun and range bans being forced on the rest of the state! Be polite but firm!

The dispicable bought and sold Demopubs do not want to address real poverty reasons and the lack of opportunity lousy schools and jobs instead concentrate on hot button charlatan religion subjects and now guns because they have to address mental health, the wars for drugs, terror and Jews, energy and climate change like it or not we cannot solve guns or any of them without the rest being in the mix, do eliminate and not discuss all of it is pi#**ng into the wind.
One of which is the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the U.S. I wont go into the history you should know it, right? The bottom line. Mom ,your RIGHTS stop where mine begin. You have no more right keeping me from my weapons than I have keep you from getting in that car you own and driving to your death. understand?
1:11 pm on Thursday, January 10, 2013 The smorgasbord of reasons for greater gun control is really filling up today. ------- Question RB, where do your right come from?
In case you didn't grasp the logic. There is a difference between a weapon being effective for military use (causing battlefield casualties rather than immediate death), and a weapon being "devastating" and inappropriate for civilian use. The fact is no ballistics expert is going to agree that the .223 is "devastating".
Taking the counter-argument is just smart. I have a problem with you calling our dedicated service people murderers. But then you're the one that thinks bias is desirable. And of course you are the expert on sarin, you just can't spell it.
Now, just guessing but I'm betting your right comes from.....Fox News!
Now answer the question . Where do "your rights at law come from"?
Looks like another progressive is not side stepping the issue.... Mayor Rahm Emanuel today indicated he will put forward his own city gun control ordinance in the next few days after state lawmakers did not reach agreement on the divisive issue.
really stupid people gave a mad man a little bit of power which he was quickly able to use to his advantage. Using Hitler to justify why you crazies need to own guns only suggests you need a mental health checkup! http://propagandaprofessor.net/2011/09/26/the-myth-of-hitlers-gun-ban/
I'm working on my bow and arrow skills...just in case. But then, they lock the doors at the home so old folks don't escape and wander and no one can get in either. Except for drooling in our crotch, we will be pretty safe.
Yes, they do, all the time. They do while protecting themselves and their families and it happens just about every day of the year. You just don't hear about it because certain groups don't want you to know that guns can be used to stop bad people. Now, do some people abuse the rights they have? Yes. Do we hold them accountable under the law? Yes (well, we should, but often the answer is 'no'). So, Mom, for every case you sited in your post, I could site hundreds more where legal guns were used legally and more death and injury were stopped. And that would just be in the US, I'm not included other parts of the world. Honestly, what bothers me more is that we have illegal drivers, drunk drivers, sleepy drivers, inexperienced drivers, and plain inattentive (i.e. texting on phone - which I see people doing every day) drivers putting MORE people at risk and doing it MORE often than guns. If people were really interested in protecting others from harm, those efforts might have better results being put into electing officials and judges that would be serious about letting those people drive. Unlike the right to bear arms, a right given to us in the constitution, driving is merely a privilege and not guaranteed to anyone.
whether you have a brain or not is now the question. You should really know the meaning of words before you try to impress people by using one with more than two syllables. The word disambiguation has nothing to do with which hand is more dominant as you seem to think. Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase, there is more than one existing meaning. Here is an example for you: Right can mean a direction as in, turn right at the light. Right can mean the ability to act without the permission of others as in, I have the right to bear arms. Right can mean correct as in, RB is usually wrong and seldom right. Disambiguation would help these words not be ambiguous and therefore, the meaning of the writer would be clear.
You are wrong. Stop spreading the BS that you are trying to spread. In 1938, Hitler did take away guns, but only from the Jews and others that he considered enemies of the state. Maybe you should read a little more before you try to sound so smart. By the way, how did that disarming of all Jews work out for them?
Mac, when Britain got rid of guns the crime rate of murder by gun dropped to like 40 a year. We murder over 10,000 and a similar number kill themselves and 100,000 get hit with a bullet each year. The murderer in Tucson was stopped when he had to reload the 34th bullet. What if he had stopped to reload at the 11 th? We don't need AK-47's and high capacity magazines and armour piercing bullets to protect our homes or hunt deer. For once, the outrage is going to overcome the NRA money and we'll get some changes. Son, I don't have to tell you anything about my rights or my ancestors who fought and died defending them.
You're confused. Armor piercing ammo has not been available to civilians for a long time. Already illegal. Lets see those stats showing 40 firearm homicides in England and 10,000 here. Fascinated to see your source. By the way you weren't talking about the English gun ban before WWII, that resulted in the US and NRA sending thousands of guns to defend England from the Germans, were you?
