Tired of logic, trying some of 'their' tactics

 

will call again tomorrow with similar.

[armadroid]

Is there somewhere we can talk about these bills?

[mauserme]

By the way, the participation during 2/27/2018 floor debate and committees was much appreciated. It reminded me of the old days leading up to passage of concealed carry, when so many were so fully engaged.

 

I'm still in need of help today. A repeat of yesterday would be awesome.

[chislinger]

They won't put guys like this behind bars, but have decided that we're the problem instead. Anything more I say would be in gross violation of forum rules so I'll just leave it at that.

 

[armadroid]

I don't want to say too much but I hope one of those bills in particular are not passed.

Got to save some room in the jails for the new class of felons they are creating... /s

Crossing my fingers for the best outcome tomorrow I will be in a basement most of the day and unable to follow the goings on

[TomKoz]

Wasn’t a Revolution started over something like this?

[JDW]

Already done Mauser, more letter's went out tonight. More calls tomorrow.

[JDW]

Left msgs again. But this time I mentioned )in addition to opposition and they will solve nothing but takes away rights)mthe mass amount of foid holders will be taking note of every politician that votes for these bills, and we will be organizing and making a concerted effort to make sure they are primaried out, or voted out at election.

Nothing more frustrating than willful ignorance. Springfield has the market cornered on it.

They ... have decided that we're the problem ...

"Problem" probably isn't the accurate word. "Enemy" is probably the accurate word. It's culture war, not crime control... and that is the problem.

Wish Illinois Carry or ISRA had a Discord Server; heck a General "Illinois Guns" Discord Server would be good.

I hope none of this passes, but that is just me. Where the **** was the NRA today? They have some explaining to do before they ask my life member a** for another cent.

Kwame for Attorney general. Ha! Bet his sheet is longer than mine. ******* Demo-lib bull****...

Buying a LaRue 7.62 with my NRA funds tomorrow. Honest!!!.

NRA John Weber is here with us. He has been all over the Capitol and Stratton. He was in committee along with a lot of others that don't end up on camera. Not everyone present gets to testify.

 

NRA has sent out alerts and text messages. It's a rough time to be in transition but we don't get to pick the time. We're all here working hard and doing the best we can.

They are trying to treat law abiding citizens as criminals. I really hope the next few weeks for us go better then yesterday. Keep calling, emailing, and posting links on facebook trying to get friends and family to oppose all these as well.

I just noticed Michael Madigan has his name on one of the AWB's. Im going to keep my comments to myself and say a little prayer.

[20jlr]

Just saw on the news they are busing a lot of people from Chicago affected by gun violence going to be a large crowd there in support of these bills, Also Madigan said he wants the bills on The Governors desk by the end of the week. This was followed by how 6,000 people last year died while walking due to distracted drivers and people driving while smoking Marijuana.

[Dcompton]

I just loaded up on AR/AK mags. Time to dig a hole I guess. SMDH. I hate this freaking place.

[AlphaKoncepts aka CGS]

This was announced several days ago.

I'm late to the party but I've now emailed my reps and will call at 830. I'm also going to get several 2A-friendly relatives and friends to do the same. Does anyone have any Intel on if Rauner will veto? I would hope he would.

I too got an NRA alert but it was late last night. I thought the timing was a little late, but like you said... transitions.
