Yesterday, the Governor vetoed SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing. IllinoisCarry would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Rauner for this difficult, yet well reasoned decision as well as to our members who offered their support and encouragement.

 

In the Senate, HB1465 Assault Weapon Age 21, HB1467 Bump Stock/Trigger Crank Ban, and HB1468 Assault Weapon 72 Hours were approved for consideration. They were subsequently added to the calendar and were moved to 3rd reading.

 

Later in the day, Senate Amendment 1 was filed on HB1465 allowing an affirmative defense for possession of "assault weapons" under limited circumstances, and Senate Amendment 1 was filed on HB1467 changing a bump stock bill that might have been able to pass into law, to now become everything-but-the-kitchen-sink anti-gun political theater. These amendments were given a subject matter hearing with SB2314 "Assault Weapons - Municipality (Preemption) and SB2317 Crim Cd - Trigger Modification. All of these actions have been added to the calendar below.

 

 

SB2561 Pre-Package Explosive Component has been removed for now, as it passed out of the Senate for consideration on the House.

 

 

 

The Senate is scheduled for 10:00 AM today. The House is not in.

I am SO riled about the Affirmative Defense amendment. I am sick and freaking tired of our diotic legislators never ending attempts to make law abiding citizens into criminals WHILE not doing a damn thing against actual criminals.

 

If we have to raise the buying limit to 21 (and yes, 100% against that), then do that. Then freaking exempt handling while supervised by a parent or over 21 foid holder, being in the same vehicle with, if the over 21 foid holder is there, or in the house of the owner, etc, etc

Is today the day they will try to over ride the veto on SB 1657 ? I don't think they have the votes to do a 3/5 ths. on it. would LOVE to watch this fall apart.

I think they are going to take time and try to sway votes. Therefore we need to take the same time and try to reinforce votes, and sway votes outselves. Phone calls and emails.

Out of curiosity, I know the Governor has 60 days (I believe) to sign and/or veto a bill put on his desk. What is the time limitation on when a veto override vote has to occur? Anyone know?

Don't you realize, this is their strategy?

 

They'll throw a bad bill out there. Then they'll throw a even worse bill out there. They'll have you begging for the bad bill! They do this and it works every time.

 

Same thing as when I cop "I'll be nice this time and only write you one ticket." You're not p***** you got a ticket, you're happy you didn't get three.

 

We gotta quit falling for it. Not one more inch. These age restrictions are arbitrary. What's next? 25? then 27?

 

You can not placate a crocodile who wants you eat you whole, by offering one finger. it won't be satisfied with your finger, and will want your arm next. The crocodile will not be satisfied until you are eaten whole. That is what we are dealing with when it comes to gun control.
