Wow. That's unbelievable

 

[MightySanta]

I think you're the first. Thanks for sharing this SICK news. Things are looking grim here in America.

Obamas' minions are using this as a test for the Federal Bill they are working up. Why do people stay in Illinois?

 

[rugerfan12]

Yes its gonna start here and more anti 2A are going to like it and do it in there state.

This piece of trash bill made it out of a committee, it has not been passed. I don't think gun owners in Illinois should panic just yet

 

[danmdevries]

I dunno, this situation may call for a panic for IL gun owners. Time to get on the phone/email/FAX/mail your reps.

Right becouse we all know Pat Quinn will pass that fast as he can.

Great. Someone educate me, I'm still fairly new to all of this - what happens next? A committee (circle jerk) of knot-heads passes this...depressing but not really surprising. I never realized how much I hate Illinois till I moved out of it.

 

[Unobogus]

It will probably go to the Senate floor today for a vote?

 

[daddymikey1975]

IT HAS NOT PASSED YET !! (sensationalize much?)

it's not "passed" nor is it a done deal.

While the measures were approved by the committee, supporters will have a tougher sell in the full Senate

"There is no place in Illinois for weapons designed to rapidly fire at human targets at close range [? long range okay then?]," [Quinn] said.

I guess in the hands of the police or Rahm and Pat's bodyguards, either?

It still has to get through both houses of the legislature...

However, those who are on the sidelines re Sen. Feinstein's proposed AWB had better wake up and start contacting their federal reps. It can happen, and delayed action only helps the other side.

If this doesn't sober some folks up, I can't imagine what would...

Because it is their home and they hope one day Chicago politics will not rule the entire state

Illinois senate passes gun ban!!

You may wish to amend your thread title as it was only voted out of committee.

 

[dwain]

I e mailed my Senator and Rep. Tuesday. They are both pro Second Amendment, but it could hurt. This makes me really sick. I wish we could make Chicago their own state.

 

[GunnerDan]

I can tell you this, I would NEVER abide by some piece of crap Unconstitutional gun law that they pass. All I can tell the good citizens of the Republik of Illinois is to DEEP CONCEAL.

A Chicago friend's opinion on this issue.

The worse of the two bills on the floor- they were voted out of Executive Committee on a straight party-line vote- would ban about 80% of all guns in the state, including pump shotguns and guns with detachable magazines. There likely will be a Senate vote today or tomorrow. It actually could pass if the party line holds.
The House might be tougher. The party line is less strong there.
The governor gets a lot of money from anti-gun people in Chicago and will sign anything anti-gun in a blink.
Whether or not these two bills goes, the maneuvering is what this is all about. The Machine- read: Emanuel- wants to get us back on our heels as battlespace preparation for the carry fight, which has five months to go.
We had them by the short ones with the Moore/Shepard decision so this is a counterattack. We're expending political capitol by the trainload and they want to wear us down so that we won't fight so hard when carry-bill time comes.
It's really bad here.

The Newton shooting has given gun-control advocates a crisis to exploit. They are taking advantage of this opportunity to go on the offensive. They have started the ball rolling. It is important to get every one on the defense and start an offensive fight to remove gun laws. There is a lot of money behind gun control efforts now. Add in media slant and its going to be tough.

We can't lose any of 2A friendly Supreme Court justices or we will be really screwed. The left gets a majority there and you think another 4 years of Obama will be bad. It will be hell for future generations.

Illinois gun owners just won a favorable court verdict regarding carry. This action is simply to throw the "full court press" back up against the Illinois gun owner, seen it countless times. However, they usually they wait for the iGold march at the capitol for this legislation.

Somewhere Kirk posted: "This is their last stand" It applies pretty well here.

More smoke and mirrors. Illinois is circling the drain, this is a lovely diversion from the real issues.

BTW: It amazes me how broke this state can be, yet it has plenty of funds to defend it's insane legislation.

Especially when they know any such law will be litigated to the Supreme Court. But they still have not found a way to solve their underfunded state pensions.
