If enough people sign it the pressure may be enough for Madigan and/or Cullerton to allow such legislation out of fear for their jobs.

 

Really? Madigan and/or Cullerton in fear of their jobs?

They fear choking on an olive pit more than they fear losing their jobs! Rather than sign some STUPID OLD petition get out and vote out every ashat that is not pro 2A!

 

Get out and vote out!

That is the only way we can effect change in the FCCL laws and in every other aspect of this State's FAILED political culture.

How many cases of that XM193 can I get you?

 

Short of millions of (verified) signatures, they aren't going to care.

 

even with verified sigs they don't care

In addition to 2nd Amendment issues, I take motorcycle rights passionately as well. (That's where I first met Todd).

He can tell you these type of online petitions are pretty much useless.

"Slacktivism- The word describes "feel-good" measures, in support of an issue or social cause, that have little or no practical effect other than to make the person doing it take satisfaction from the feeling they have contributed. The acts tend to require minimal personal effort from the slacktivist."- Wikipedia

One (1) hand written note to your legislator, is worth a thousand signatures on one of these. It really is one of the best ways to get their attention. OR... If you've never called your representatives, give it a try. Let their admins know your a law abiding constituent of theirs & you're an ardent 2nd Amendment supporter... you hope that they'll support the expansion of legally licensed individuals to carry on public transit (especially in light of recent occurrences that reinforce how dangerous these places can be). It'll probably take you as long as it would to fill out the online petition.

 

Respectfully,

No, I don't think this petition, or any other, will sway Madigan, Cullerton or other strongly anti-gun legislators. But there might be some who are on the fence on gun issues who whom a petition with a large number of names on it might just get them to feel the best action is to side with the pro-gun folks.
