Tvandermyde Posted December 31, 2012 at 05:04 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 05:04 PM URGENT -- I just recieved word that Senate President John Cullerton will attempt to pass a Feinstein style Semi-auto ban and magazine ban When the Senate reconvenes for their lame duck session on the 2nd of January. At this time we have no bill numbers, but anticipate them using house bills passed over for floor amendments which would only take a matter of hours to clear committee and be ready for a final vote. Legislative offices are open today. You need to call your state senator and urge them to vote no on any gun bans or magazine bans. Then call your state representative and urge them to vote no on any gun ban or magazine ban. Call today, call Wednesday, call every day until this is defeated. More to follow as I get details.

armadroid Posted December 31, 2012 at 05:38 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 05:38 PM done, and wouldnt a semi-auto ban be completely unconstitutional?Handguns are about 50% semi autos...
Patriots & Tyrants Posted December 31, 2012 at 05:45 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 05:45 PM done, and wouldnt a semi-auto ban be completely unconstitutional?Handguns are about 50% semi autos...The Chicago Machine has shown time and time again they would rather pass unconstitutional laws and waste our tax dollars defending then.That allows them to keep "the moral high ground" and say see its the courts fault now ours. Remember to contact your reps for the PAST legislative session not the new one, or just do both.
armadroid Posted December 31, 2012 at 05:47 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 05:47 PM I called mine and I got no answer... I am pretty sure he is anti-gun though. edit: I was wrong after searching.Maybe they went out for lunch! He is pro gun!
GuitarJedi Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:12 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:12 PM I fall in chuck Jefferson's district. I will call anyways but will fall on deaf ears.
Bud Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:14 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:14 PM My Senator is Christine Johnson here office phone in DeKalb has been disconnected. Her email bounces as "no such addressee" I suspect a conspiracy
sirflyguy Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:29 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:29 PM Idiots, all of them. This isn't surprising at all.
TyGuy Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:31 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:31 PM My Senator is Christine Johnson here office phone in DeKalb has been disconnected. Her email bounces as "no such addressee" I suspect a conspiracyMe too, what's up? The springfield number works, but no one answers. I called both, left one message (Johnson), and talked to on secretary (Pritchard).
miztic Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:35 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:35 PM one of mine doesn't have an email listed, and the other has yet to even acknowledge any of my emails.. so I called my local offices, will try springfield in a bit.
TyGuy Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:36 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:36 PM Calling is better anyway.
papa Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:38 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:38 PM Done and done. Thanks for keeping us updated Todd.
Capt_Destro Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:41 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:41 PM Wrote everyone, the only person I will probably call is Representative Lapinski. I don't know if calling Mark Kirk will go anywhere. The guy just got out of rehab for the stroke he had.
skinnyb82 Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:42 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:42 PM On it. Representative is Moffitt and Senator is LaHood so I'm not worried about a "yea" vote from either of them but they need to be made aware of my outrage over such a bill. Thanks for the heads-up Todd.

patriot1776 Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:43 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:43 PM yep and so is my other one Walsh. I called both and left complete info on their recording for my foid card being over 45 days. No call back or any type of message i got it 65 days. They are useless on any thpe of gun issue so far maybe part of the Anti crowd ?
Tvandermyde Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:43 PM Author Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:43 PM Capt -- wrong legislative body, the Illinois house and senate not congress

If you don't know who he or she is, go here, enter your info and it will tell you
sirflyguy Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:47 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:47 PM Neither of Forby's phones are answering and have no answering machine.
KarlJ Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:48 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:48 PM Called both my reps and Kirk. Durbin is experiencing "high call volumes"Spoke to my one rep who also opposes a semi auto ban and favors concealed carry. Everyone else I had to talk to a machine

Everyone else I had to talk to a machine Call your "state" legislators, not the federal legislators at this time.

D: Just dying to see what views he has on the issue since I can't find anything. Edit: Doing what you said with that link. need a few. Steve Landek is mine.
bersa380 Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:57 PM Posted December 31, 2012 at 06:57 PM What should we say when we call. That we oppose any new gun control bills or should we be citing something specific?
