Eli Mcfly Posted February 19, 2019 at 09:02 PM Share Posted February 19, 2019 at 09:02 PM Is there anything wrong w/this bill? http://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocTypeID=HB&DocNum=1626&GAID=15&SessionID=108&LegID=116167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricolor Posted February 19, 2019 at 09:34 PM Share Posted February 19, 2019 at 09:34 PM I think that bill is still being reviewed. My first reaction is that this bill is unnecessary, if someone is already in violation of federal law regarding silencers why do we need a state law?

InterestedBystander Posted February 19, 2019 at 10:30 PM Share Posted February 19, 2019 at 10:30 PM The author of this bill commented here in a prior post. It is pretty much the same as last sessions silencer/suppressor bill. Having said that and I will be shocked if this bill moves forward, this is probably one of those bills best not discussed in specific detail in public posts.

Hatchet Posted February 19, 2019 at 10:40 PM Share Posted February 19, 2019 at 10:40 PM Yea I saw. But as Bystander said, try to not give to much out to those who spy. Some of them can't read legalise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if it is the same as the last bill, which had terror watch list language, I won't be supporting it. Again, I haven't read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird76Mojo Posted February 20, 2019 at 03:13 AM Share Posted February 20, 2019 at 03:13 AM These suppressor bills never go anywhere because the legislators still believe what Hollywood has shown them concerning suppressors. That's part of it at least.. They need to be shown what it's really like using one, with a very good recording/audio playback system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of progress was made then but that has all pretty much been lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmcc Posted February 20, 2019 at 04:59 PM Share Posted February 20, 2019 at 04:59 PM And ownership. Read the last sentence.. Actually the way it is worded, allows possession and attachment on handgun if going to or using on a firing range. Ownership is not legal, that applies to any other firearms, which would excluded previous handgun portion. They are overly complicating this for the lefties, no reason a suppressor should not be allowed for use in your home or business, for hunting, and as as well as at the range. Rules should be same for all firearms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
