Recommended Posts

I'm catching up on a few things today. These bills have been added to our lists:











And we'll be watching:






Most of these are obvious. We oppose HB4502 because the definition of imitation firearm is much too broad.

Not to be stepping on anyone's watch, but looks like potentially a couple of "safety-tech" shell bills? Coming from an ( R ) I'd like to think they would be pro 2A assuming they stay related to synopsis.

 

HB4546 http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=4546&GAID=14&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=109430&SessionID=91&GA=100

 

Synopsis As Introduced

Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning notification of dispositions of certain criminal cases

 

HB4547 http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=4547&GAID=14&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=109431&SessionID=91&GA=100

 

Synopsis As Introduced

I there still a suppressor bill that has a minuscule chance of passing?

Not to speak for Mauser or anyone else, but the 3 suppressor bills I recall from 2017 were referred to rules / assignments back in May or so and that's where they are now.

 

Havent seen any new suppressor bills filed in 2018. With all of the anti-bills last year, e.g. gun dealer licensing, many of which will be returning and changes in legislature, I'm afraid some of the previous momentum has been lost.

 

edit: one new suppressor bill filed this month HB4719.

Not firearm related but this one honors Gold Star Families and I feel we should support it:

 

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=5263&GAID=14&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=110977&SessionID=91&GA=100

SB2561 Pre-Packaged Explosive Component has been added to our oppose list.

 

Is it strange that this is scheduled for executive committee hearings next week? What does the executive committee do and are shenanigans afoot? The other bills they get look to be things like elections and liquor sales.

HB5016 MEDICAL CANNABIS-FINGERPRINTS

 

Very similar system and procedure to getting our CCW license in Illinois as it's handled by the ISP system, but makes the following provision:

 

 

The Department of Human Services and the Prescription Monitoring Program shall establish a system by which the information may be shared electronically. This confidential list may not be combined or linked in any manner with any other list or database except as provided in this Section.

So, this is the callout saying it won't be linked with our conceal carry database or the Illinois version of NICS.

 

In the other unassigned block

 

HB5630 and HB5637 Firework Use Tax????

Ok, here's what I have since the last updates. Let me know if you spot anything I missed.

 

The good news is that the filing deadline in both houses was 2/16/2018. That doesn't mean we won't see anything new filed, the deadline is a rule rather than law. But it should slow down quite a bit now.

HB5263 Gold Star Family Day. Even though we should all support this individually, as do I, it's too far outside Second Amendment interests.

 

SB2971 Crim Cd - 911 Phone Swatting because Xwing is right, it is only marginally related.

Looking at "The List", I do have those already.

 

HB4714 DEER HUNTING-AIR GUNS

I left that out intentially. I have it in our internal list but we tend to focus more on carry and general gun rights than hunting bills.

 

 

HB5475 MACHINE GUN-PENALTIES

And I will get that added, as well as SB1711 Concealed Carry Rest Area which was reassigned to Judiciary.

 

 

Thanks.

Sorry, my apologies. I should have but did not go back to first page to check and was looking at the ones on page 2 since the "last update".

 

Amazes me how you manage tracking all of the shell bills filed as there are so many and they can be changed to anything from filing them in an unrelated category with a simple word replacement.

 

Machine gun penalties seems an odd bill increasing penalties as they are already a banned IL item for the general masses...is there a rash of full auto shootings lately?
