AuroraInstructor Posted February 20, 2019 at 03:45 PM Share Posted February 20, 2019 at 03:45 PM Is there an accurate headcount as to how many in the Senate and House in Springfield are really gun grabbers who will attack Concealed Carry? I know that we had a lot of guys like Brandon Phelps who, though they were Democrats, could be counted on.... I keep hearing how the "Democrats have a super-majority" but all those Democrats are not gun grabbers. Not that it is okay, but an assault weapons ban is one thing, and our CCL's (and the prohibited areas) are another thing... (Please don't tell me how an infringement one gun right, like "assault" weapons is unacceptable - I AGREE. Please don't infer that I am willing to accept any infringement --- it's just that "assault" weapons are such a political hot button that we see more spinelessness around this issue).

soylentgreen Posted February 20, 2019 at 04:06 PM Share Posted February 20, 2019 at 04:06 PM How many people were killed by "assault weapons" in Illinois in the last 20 years? In any case, I think you're right...not all Democrats are in lockstep on guns. HOWEVER, they don't need a supermajority with a governor who is willing to sign anything.

InterestedBystander Posted February 20, 2019 at 05:55 PM Share Posted February 20, 2019 at 05:55 PM I think Markthesignguy had a prior post breaking down the ilga and where it appeared they might fall in regard to 2A voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markthesignguy Posted February 21, 2019 at 12:43 PM Share Posted February 21, 2019 at 12:43 PM We all have to watch the new guys, as they pin themselves down with RECORDED votes. Dealing with IGOLD signs have diverted me from one project where I want to look at the new legislators, and try to gain inferences about their districts, and using previous office holders for that district and how they voted, the gun sanctuary status of counties in their districts and their second amendment resolutions status. Some of this was in hopes of finding leverage (or EXCUSES for them) that could at least garner less 2nd amendment hostile votes. Of course if all 2.3 million FOIDs voted in a concerted fashion, we wouldn't be in this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
