RoadyRunner Posted January 15, 2019 at 01:09 PM Share Posted January 15, 2019 at 01:09 PM Even if GOA win this, how many years do we think Illinois will keep banning suppressors before they relent after a court loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see there fighting for Jeremy. As RR said above and I will add ....How many gun ranges in Chicago after the court cases. Sanctuary city no problem, gun ranges big problem.

Bird76Mojo Posted January 15, 2019 at 05:10 PM Share Posted January 15, 2019 at 05:10 PM Watch this nonsense and then try to convince me that we have a legal system that hasn't been fully corrupted.. I've always been curious how Illinois can choose not to allow NFA weapons here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikew Posted January 15, 2019 at 05:17 PM Share Posted January 15, 2019 at 05:17 PM ...How many gun ranges in Chicago after the court cases. Sanctuary city no problem, gun ranges big problem. I don't think anyone has tried to open a range after the final case disposition. Even after the court battle, it's still Chicago, would someone have to get paid off?Or sign on with Madigan, Burke, Harmon and Associates as council?

Flynn Posted January 15, 2019 at 05:59 PM Share Posted January 15, 2019 at 05:59 PM I hope if the court takes it and that they make it clear that a poll tax can't be levied on 2nd amendment rights, and I would love to see the law gutted or ruled unconstitutional overall as I believe that the 2nd is not limited to single fire and semi-auto weapons, but should include select fire and those 'odd weapons' that are now classified as NFA and restricted...

Bird76Mojo Posted January 15, 2019 at 06:44 PM Share Posted January 15, 2019 at 06:44 PM This is extremely unlikely to go anywhere. Not when we have a president that directs the BATFE to rewrite their own version of a law previously put in place by Congress, AND they all think it's legal.

357 Posted January 17, 2019 at 05:29 PM Share Posted January 17, 2019 at 05:29 PM I just called GOA and sent them an email from Bloomberg's Everytown claiming victory on bumpstocks and bragging of rigging the numbers to 72% in favor of a ban by the ATF during the public comment period. Everytown for Gun SafetyHey our hard work paid off. Reports from Washington D.C. are that the federal government will prohibit bump stocks. More than a year after a shooter in Las Vegas used guns equipped with bump stocks to kill 58 people and wound hundreds more, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) will take regulatory action to prohibit these gun accessories. Because you took action and put pressure on Washington, our government issued this common-sense regulation a first step towards stronger action to prevent gun violence. Our supporters submitted tens of thousands of comments urging the ATF to prohibit bump stocks. You helped make sure that 72% of comments an overwhelming majority asked the ATF to make the common-sense decision to prohibit bump stocks. On the heels of critical elections victories for the gun violence prevention movement just a few weeks ago, this rule on bump stocks is a step in the right direction. We have momentum going into 2019 to take giant steps forward starting with passing a strong background checks bill to help break the pattern of gun violence in America.
