mauserme Posted January 15, 2018 at 09:37 PM Share Posted January 15, 2018 at 09:37 PM From her Facebook Page 1/12/2018: Barbara Salvi Wheeler January 12 at 8:57am · Gotta admit....this is one of my favorite headlines in my 15 years in politics. Illinois Legislators Need to Pass Barbara Wheeler's HB 4120 or Admit That They Suck In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, Illinois first attempt to outlaw bump stocks failed. Perhaps Illinois lawmakers were reluctant to appear sympathetic to the chicagonow.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilphil Posted January 16, 2018 at 12:27 AM Share Posted January 16, 2018 at 12:27 AM I guess she doesn't feel the need to keep up a pro-2A facade anymore since she announced last year that she won't be running for reelection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Remember Salvi Posted January 16, 2018 at 05:27 PM Share Posted January 16, 2018 at 05:27 PM Is she related to the the other Salvi from the George Ryan era? Then none of this would be surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is her brother. And no, not surprising at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markthesignguy Posted January 17, 2018 at 01:35 AM Share Posted January 17, 2018 at 01:35 AM I was trying to figure out how to ask that question without using language unbecoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpperAtmosphere Posted January 17, 2018 at 05:16 PM Share Posted January 17, 2018 at 05:16 PM Massachusetts and New Jersey both have “turn them in” going on right now, so don’t take your eyes off it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure these states view your loss of what you paid for them a justified punishment for buying such an evil device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soylentgreen Posted January 18, 2018 at 07:00 PM Share Posted January 18, 2018 at 07:00 PM I'm willing to consider supporting a ban on bump stocks. What are you going to give us in return, Babs? Let's make a deal. I'll take a state-wide prohibition on "assault weapons" bans. I'd take reciprocity for out-of-state CCLs. I'll take removing the force of law from the "no guns" signs.

Ashdump Posted January 19, 2018 at 12:29 PM Share Posted January 19, 2018 at 12:29 PM No compromise. We will get nothing in return and it will only make them feel empowered to push ahead with more gun control. They need beat down on this stuff at every turn.

They always ask us to compromise, but every time we have, it ended up a 'gimme' for them! If we could deal with them, then sure, let's make a deal. But, they can't be trusted. You always know when they're lying 'cause their lips are movin'!! No compromise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwing Posted January 19, 2018 at 03:27 PM Share Posted January 19, 2018 at 03:27 PM A "Compromise" with the antis is "they only take half our stuff now instead of all of it." They simply ignore the actual meaning of compromise, where they give up something too (e.g. they give us better reciprocity). But the scary thing is that many of the "squishy" State Reps and Senators will probably accept this "compromise". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the scary thing is that many of the "squishy" State Reps and Senators will probably accept this "compromise".Even though Wheeler was with us on the surface, reading up on some of her other positions gave off a definite squishy vibe. She is definitely a Salvi. And I don't think there is a truly conservative branch anywhere on that family tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
