IL gun ban on the move RIGHT NOW 1/1/13 - arrgghhhh
« on: January 01, 2013, 01:55:28 PM »
From the Illinois State Rifle Association - in a nut shell there might be a run at ramming a really nasty gun ban through in the 'veto session'

If you're in IL contact Rep and Senators right away - like e-mail today and phone calls tomorrow.

If you're not from IL could you take a moment to contact the State Senate President.

URGENT ALERT – YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
CULLERTON TO INTRODUCE NEAR TOTAL GUN BAN ON JANUARY 2ND
The ISRA has learned from a credible source that Illinois Senate President John Cullerton
will introduce a so called “assault weapons” ban on Wednesday when the legislature
returns for its “lame duck” session.  Cullerton hopes to ramrod the bill through and get
it to Governor Quinn for signature by Friday.  If he is successful at doing so, nearly
every gun you currently own will be banned and will be subject to confiscation by the
Illinois State Police.
Based on what we know about Cullerton’s bill, firearms that would be banned include all
semiautomatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns.  Pump action shotguns would be banned as
well.  This would be a very comprehensive ban that would include not only so-called
“assault weapons” but also such classics as M1 Garands and 1911-based pistols.  There
would be no exemptions and no grandfathering.  You would have a very short window to turn
in your guns to the State Police to avoid prosecution.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO SAVE YOUR GUNS.
1.   Beginning Wednesday, call your State Senator and politely tell him or her that you are a law abiding firearm owner and that you strongly oppose Cullerton’s gun ban.  Also, be sure to call your State Representative as well and politely deliver the same message. 

If you do not know who your State Representative please call the Illinois State Board of Elections at 217-782-4141.

2.   Forward this alert to all your gun owning friends and family members.  Be sure to tell them to call their senators and representatives as well.

3.   Post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards and blogs to which you belong.

4.   Join or renew your membership in the ISRA.  Encourage your friends and family to join as well.

5.   Make a generous donation to the ISRA by clicking the link below.  We are in desperate need of your financial support to help beat back the onslaught of gun grab bills coming our way in 2013.
Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, 60 rounds powder and ball and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

It would be insane to allow it.

It sounds like something you would see in California, New York (especially City), and Illinois.  And it is something that nobody can allow to let happen.  We have three hopes:  1.  The outcry and demands of Illinois citizens to not vote it in; 2.  It is so broad and invasive that unless you are a complete zero gun idiot you would not vote for it; and 3.  The Supreme Court would strike it down in any challenge that made it there.

Bad news is that this shows how confident the anti's feel about this era we have entered.  In 2009, bitches Clinton and Pelosi went to Pres. BHO with anti-gun demands, and he said "It isn't time."  Today is time, and he is going for it all!

Solus, remember our back and forth about us, including the NRA, being too passive?  Here it is!  This is how abortion and gay's fought and fight, and it is how we need to fight  >:(

Zero compromise!

Keep it all, and start taking back!

The battle has started, so if you aren't in it - CATCH UP!
