Cullerton Plans to Push Bad Carry Bill

In State Senate Tuesday!

 

Call Your State Senator Immediately!

 

In an attempt to head off a Right to Carry bill that would preempt all gun laws in the state, President of the Senate John Cullerton has plans to amend HB183 (Senate Amendment #4), push it through committee, rush a floor vote, then send it back to the House for concurrence.

 

Cullerton is going use language that will omit safe harbor provisions (carry in your vehicle), ban carry in restaurants, increase penalties for carrying while intoxicated to a class A misdemeanor, and whittle down preemption to only apply to carrying.

 

In an act of desperation to get the bill passed, he is going to require only 30 votes instead of the usual super majority of 36. It is possible we could see an amendment late tonight with a committee hearing Tuesday morning.

Alot of speculation, in the end, we hope Madigan can finish what he started last week and get the ball rolling on restoration of our constitutional rights, via the shall issue and FULL pre-emption avenue.

1st - How is it even possible for Cullerton to claim that he'll keep preemption from the carry portion of the bill just getting rid of the language for all other gun laws and in the same breath say that he's only going to require a simple majority? Sounds to me like he's stripping out all preemption and hoping that no one actually reads the bill so he can pass it with a simple majority.

 

2nd - Even if he passes the bill through the senate, Madigan and/or Downstate Reps then kill it in the house by voting it down,... Will Cullerton then finally call 2193 so we can finally get something accomplished other than watching politicians jerking us and each other around?

I'm going to repeat what Todd Vyandermyde said in another post.

 

1)

 

Because he said so

 

This is Illinois politics. It is highly corrupt. They make and break the rules all the time.

 

 

2)

 

That is conjecture. I don't know if the house will kill 183 in a concurrence vote. If they do, do I believe Cullerton will bring up 2193? Nope. Chicago wants CONTROL over the gun laws, and if Cullerton doesn't sit on 2193, Quinn will. (my opinion)

 

We need to light das phones, plug das email boxes and fill das faxes. Reminds me of when someone taped a fax in a circle and did a continuous fax.

Depending on how much support he thinks he has Cullerton may first call 2193 and kill it to then send 183 to the house. My understanding is 997 is still in some sort of limbo so if they kill 2192 and 183 the house can revive 997 again as a last scew you back at the senate. Sooooo many possibilities. Driving me crazy. Lol

Yeah it's my understanding that 997 is still sitting out there so Madigan could THEORETICALLY wreck Cullerton's bill, pass 997 or amend and pass his other shell bill, then send it to Cullerton with a post it saying "I hope retirement goes well." I mean it doesnt remove the AWB, mag limits and CFP but if it's either a non-preemptive preemptive piece of garbage (which will be overturned by the first court that gets its hands on it and RIGHT BACK to where we are now) or 997....duhhh. This will get very ugly if Cullerton doesnt play ball.

Do we have any indications when executive will meet, or will this be one of those phantom committees in the presidents office?

 

Guessing we won't have time to slip it once filed, although the senate does allow for slips to be filed through the day rather than 15 minutes before committee start time like the house.

Wouldn't it be bad for Madigen to be shown up by Cullerton? Guess we would know who really runs the state then.

The members of the house and senate are being played by their respective leaders and, as usual, their constituents will be the losers. I suspect that this was all prearranged long before Madigan's dramatic speech.
