.

Today is the 36th day since Governor Rauner returned his SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing veto message to the Senate. The Senate continues to subtract 28 of those days, calling this day 8.

 

Yesterday in Senate committee Amendment 1 on SB2343 Criminal Law Tech was approved for consideration. This bill proposes greater penalties for a bump stock than a true machine gun. It is the work of a legislator who, claiming to be the voice of sentencing reform, now wishes to imprison otherwise innocent people for 30 years together with an individual desperately trying to convince us that he is the sole repository of all that is pro-gun in Illinois.

 

One can only hope that anti-gun forces are not allowed to destroy a venerable, 115 year old historically pro-gun organization from within.

 

 

The following initiatives were also approved for consideration. We, at the least, oppose them all.

 

SB2314 Assault Weapons - Municipality

 

SB2561 Prepackage Explosive Component

 

HR735 Replica Guns - Regulations

 

 

Each of the bills listed above is at third reading and can move quickly. I will be away most of the day so please, if anyone can fill in, pay close attention to the proceedings.

 

I haven't included the resolution in the list below in order to conserve space.

 

Also, an amendment was filed on HB4525 FOID Card Expiration. If adopted, our position will change from support to neutral.

 

The House and Senate are again scheduled for 12:00 Noon.

 

 

Next Days Scheduled

 

House: 4/19/2018

Today is the 36th day since Governor Rauner returned his SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing veto message to the Senate. The Senate continues to subtract 28 of those days, calling this day 8.

 

Yesterday in Senate committee Amendment 1 on SB2343 Criminal Law Tech was approved for consideration. This bill proposes greater penalties for a bump stock than a true machine gun. It is the work of a legislator who, claiming to be the voice of sentencing reform, now wishes to imprison otherwise innocent people for 30 years together with an individual desperately trying to convince us that he is the sole repository of all that is pro-gun in Illinois.

 

One can only hope that anti-gun forces are not allowed to destroy a venerable, 115 year old historically pro-gun organization from within.

 

 

The following initiatives were also approved for consideration. We, at the least, oppose them all.

 

SB2314 Assault Weapons - Municipality

 

SB2561 Prepackage Explosive Component

 

HR735 Replica Guns - Regulations

 

 

Each of the bills listed above is at third reading and can move quickly. I will be away most of the day so please, if anyone can fill in, pay close attention to the proceedings.

 

I haven't included the resolution in the list below in order to conserve space.

 

Also, an amendment was filed on HB4525 FOID Card Expiration. If adopted, our position will change from support to neutral.

 

The House and Senate are again scheduled for 12:00 Noon.

It is the work of a legislator who, [claims] to be the voice of sentencing reform

 

 

 

This hypocrisy and disregard for the 14th Amendment cannot be left unopposed.

 

Light sentencing for violent and habitual offenders because they're from a favored group and radically severe sentencing for another group consisting mostly of his political opponents.

Today is the day everything hits the fan again folks.

Maybe, I personally don't think they have the votes to over ride the dealer licensing and everything else would have to be signed by Raunee, which I don't see him doing (except for the bumpstock ban). The Moms and Bloomberg have put all their eggs in the dealer licensing basket... it's not going to be a good day for us. But I don't think it's going to be a bloodbath either.

Having the dealer licensing over ride fail in front of the "moms" on another Black Wednesday would be outstanding not only for our morale but would send a clear message to the anti freedom legislators that we do have a considerable presence all over the state. following it up with a big IGOLD turnout would be awesome. I'm praying that we win this one.

They won't call it unless they know they have the votes IMO. No way they call in front of the moms and then look like failures. The symbolism in that would be crushing for them.

Im also guessing (hoping) they havent flipped as many as they claim and its not as close currently as they would have people believe.

I hope you are right. I worry that having the "moms" there will turn some spines to jelly, time will tell.

The Illinois chapter of the so called "moms" Facebook page states... "Today is the day !!!" then goes on to tell they are showing up to support the dealer licensing bill. I don't see how the anti's are going to not call it today especially with IGOLD and the last day for the over ride a week away. I hope and pray the whole thing is one big discouraging flop and waste of time for them.
