mauserme Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:20 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:20 AM .Today (2/26/2013) marks the deadline for introduction of new Houses Bills. Though I didn't mention it at the time, the Senate deadline was 2/15/2013. Tomorrow brings the potential for Judiciary hearings on quite a few firearm bills and Thursday hearings on "Expanding gun safety laws and UUW". Please continue to watch for action alerts on these and file witness slips as appropriate. I am posting the ILGA thread early in order to provide as much notice as possible. The floor schedule is based on educated assumptions and will be verified when the calendar is posted. 27 amendments were filed and approved on HB1155 Monday with no opportunity for public comment. They are listed below with our position indicated on each. As I watch this process unfold a lesson from childhood comes to mind; a lesson I've taught my own children. If you have to sneak around, if you don't want people to see what you're doing, then you don't need to be told it's wrong. You already know it is. The House is scheduled for 12:00 Noon today. The Senate is not in.

snooter Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:31 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:31 AM hopefully we have more than 15 mintes to file witness slips..not sure thats even in the cards so i should be happy madigan gives me 5 minutes and 18 seconds to file opposition...soon as i hear specifics i am in...i am still holding as best action for my family is simply to call and oppose anything but isra, nra, IC backed bills...some are elderly and thats about all they can deal with...no worries,,my 80 year old dad is about to come unglued and all he is talking about is 1938 nazi germany in this state...kinda funny really but i agree with my dad on that
mauserme Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:36 AM Author Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:36 AM It appears there will be no opportunity to file witness slips as the amendments are moving from Rules straight to the floor.
StreuB1 Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:38 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:38 AM I already told my boss today that tomorrow, I will have the internet up nd my headphones on the entire day.....but I WILL still be getting work done! He knows whatever is going on is important. And onces its over he will get his usually productive and hotheaded designer back.
wazzle Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:39 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:39 AM Great work mauserme. Thank you for doing what you do. We have a big day tomorrow. Buckle up boys and girls. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
snooter Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:40 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:40 AM It appears there will be no opportunity to file witness slips as the amendments are moving from Rules straight to the floor. i suspected as much
GWBH Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:47 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:47 AM It appears there will be no opportunity to file witness slips as the amendments are moving from Rules straight to the floor. Thank you sir...Ladies and gents - hold the line... at all costs. They'd better play nice - IGOLD is right around the corner!
Lou Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:57 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 02:57 AM Buckle up - 5 point safety harness is preferred.
XJCraver Posted February 26, 2013 at 03:06 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 03:06 AM mause- You're awesome. Thank You for staying on top of these. Question: Can we change Amend. 24 to at least Neutral? It's better than the anti amendments, but as is being discussed elsewhere it's still no good. Just a thought.
jfd287 Posted February 26, 2013 at 03:29 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 03:29 AM Mause, Is there some way you can list the status of each amendment after it is voted on, this way we that cant listen don't have to go scroll through pages of comments to keep up on the status of each since we may be busy at work or whatever. Maybe on your first post which you listed each amendment. Thanks for your hard work and time .
mata777 Posted February 26, 2013 at 03:36 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 03:36 AM Thanks for posting this. I emailed and faxed my state rep Larry Walsh Jr for the 4th time in the last 2 days just a few mins ago.

Maybe on your first post which you listed each amendment. Thanks for your hard work and time I usually do exactly that for bills as they are voted on. I plan to on these amendments as well. mause- You're awesome. Thank You for staying on top of these. Question: Can we change Amend. 24 to at least Neutral? It's better than the anti amendments, but as is being discussed elsewhere it's still no good. Just a thought. Brandon Phelps is at the point of the spear right now. He needs to go into that chamber tomorrow firm in the knowledge that as a group, Illinois Carry supports his efforts. And we need to be firm in our knowledge that he will do the best possible job he can for the people of this state.
DoktorPaimon Posted February 26, 2013 at 04:47 AM Posted February 26, 2013 at 04:47 AM Thank you, Mauserme. Also, Abolt, Molly, Todd, and all the other people working for our rights in the face of this disgusting display. Thank you for not only your efforts but also your incredible patience and willingness to educate the rest of us. You're invaluable. Also, much as 24 might be suboptimal, folks, its a place to begin if it comes to it. Finally, heres to hoping Madigan et al choke on a cactus.
mauserme Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:15 PM Author Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:15 PM Glad to see the forum back up. The House Calendar is attached to the opening post.
Joebie Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:15 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:15 PM PHEW!! I'm a little confused, as I'm not seeing a video for 12:00 noon. Only 3:00PM.

Scots Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:46 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:46 PM Thanks so much Mauser. Hope the server had a good night's sleep and is ready to handle the refreshing frenzy today!
Kurt85 Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:47 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:47 PM Thank you mauser for all your work putting up the ammendments. is there any way we can get a link to watch what is going on today?
AOJ Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:48 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:48 PM Thanks Mauserme and everyone else for keeping us informed while we try and live our everday lives. Without you I would be shut out from what's going on all day while i'm at work. You hard work is appreciated.

snooter Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:59 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:59 PM we have made calls,, sent email, contacted few family members to spread the word..we have did what we could..given it until 0800ish as it was a hellish night at work...ive got an idea what may transpire but thats it at this point......i pray all goes well..snoots out..god speed
05FLHT Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:59 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 12:59 PM Please post video/audio links, for the House, when they become available. Thank You Based on experience from the 148 debate, anybody planning on paying attention to the debate may want to consider audio only. The video feed had some major buffering issues last time and getting the connection back up if you got kicked off was all but impossible. My thought is today will be 10x worse.
Joebie Posted February 26, 2013 at 01:04 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 01:04 PM Yeah, based on EXP just last Friday. It was kind of nutty, but the vid feed was OK. http://new.livestream.com/blueroomstream/events/1901922 Here is the BRS link, although that didn't pan out last time, and a lot of us ended up hitting Youtube because the ILGA link was bunk.
snooter Posted February 26, 2013 at 01:07 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 01:07 PM transperancy in gubment..yea ILL complied with a 1971 Quasar video feed......i still lust after raquel welch but thats neither here nor there in context of what we face today
Scots Posted February 26, 2013 at 01:37 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 01:37 PM Here's what I'd like to hear someone ask one of these people from the floor today. "Why is it that the list of places where Illinoisans go most often with their children is the same list of places where they're prohibited from protecting said children? Why were these amendments put together so that wherever kids might be, we've made sure that there will be no resistance for a criminal?" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Rivemor Posted February 26, 2013 at 01:38 PM Posted February 26, 2013 at 01:38 PM This is what I have sent to my rep. As a voter who believes in the U.S. Constitution, I am one of over 100 million law-abiding American citizens who responsibly owns firearms for target shooting, hunting, personal and home defense, and collecting. I care deeply about the Second Amendment, and I am closely monitoring amendments to Illinois House Bill 1155. Particularly Amendments that would restrict my right to keep and bear arms. As such, I ask that you support the following Amendments: House Amendment 1, Names of the ActHouse Amendment 2, PreemptionHouse Amendment 24, Shall IssueHouse Amendment 27, Language These amendments are very important as they produce a bill that is fair to all Illinoisans, weather you live in Lake Forest or the City of Chicago. No one should be denied their Constitutional rights based upon their zip code, nor should our rights be decided upon by a nameless official under the guise of "may issue". Do NOT pass more restrictive gun and magazine laws; instead, work to enforce the thousands of gun laws already on the books and help step up prosecution of criminals who commit violence and misuse firearms. Best Regards,
