Scots Posted March 25, 2014 at 06:30 AM Posted March 25, 2014 at 06:30 AM I'll be tuning in to committees this morning as I am able. We're starting to build toward some telling discussions on changes to the CC bill - both good and bad.
Tvandermyde Posted March 25, 2014 at 10:04 AM Posted March 25, 2014 at 10:04 AM They are going to c tiue to work on this, as they relly don't know what they are doing. I have a chest cold and feel like crap
StreuB1 Posted March 25, 2014 at 01:56 PM Posted March 25, 2014 at 01:56 PM Today will be interesting
jlowrie Posted March 25, 2014 at 04:02 PM Posted March 25, 2014 at 04:02 PM Kind of reminds me of this whole process last year. listening to committee meetings, fast and furious witness slip filing with changes to committee assignment or late filing coming left and right... Such is life with politics as usual in Illinois.
tkroenlein Posted March 25, 2014 at 04:48 PM Posted March 25, 2014 at 04:48 PM Judiciary start yet? I'm can't watch myself, but I see no commentary here.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 04:55 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 04:55 PM When the Judiciary Committee adopted HA2 to HB5523 Crim Cd Seizure Vehicles the sponsor testified that there was a great deal of opposition to the bill. She stated her assumption that the opposition "would go away" with adoption of the amendment because it removes all of the 20+ violations that would have been added, except retail theft. Having read the amendment again I don't see this intent. Perhaps there is a third amendment to be filed.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:01 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:01 PM Mr. Sims does not wish for HB4754 Crim Cd 3D Firearms Prohibits to be heard.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:01 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:01 PM The Senate is convening.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:03 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:03 PM HB4754 Crim Cd 3D Firearms Prohibits is up again and the amendment is adopted.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:07 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:07 PM Mr. Sims claims, displaying his lack of understanding, that these guns would violate the law by allowing manufacture of guns with no metal parts. The Illinois Firearms Association removes it's opposition based on amend 1. Mr Vandermyde speaks to the problem of an entrepreneur trying to manufacture unregulated parts. The ATF tried to replicate the plastic gun on the internet - it blew up. There is no problem to be solved.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:08 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:08 PM Mr Sims rebuts Mr. Vandermyde's testimony by stating that metal guns can also be printed, contradicting his earlier testimony.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:09 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:09 PM Mr. Vandermyde speaks to the problem of making a non-metalic barrel.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:10 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:10 PM In answer to questioning, Mr. Sims states that it is not the intent to prohibit people from making parts. They are open to discussion.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:11 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:11 PM Mr. Sims states that's (parts manufacture) covered under the manufacturer portion of the bill, as a manufacturer who wants to get a patent. He did not answer the question of the average person wanting to make a part that is not a gun. He suggests that they move the bill and fix it on second.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:12 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:12 PM Further testimony clarifies that non-licensed (as a manufacturer) persons would be in violation of the law.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:13 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:13 PM Mr. Vandermyde clarifies that he cannot sell manufactured guns out of his garage, but there is an allowance in Federal law to manufacture a gun for one's own use. Ms. Nekritz ask Mr Sims if his bill allows for something that is already legal. Mr. Sims answers no, but stresses his belief that "there are going to be problems" He further states that he doesn't want $25 guns to be available. The committee reports do pass as amended on a vote of 10/6 with the understanding that further discussion will occur.

mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:17 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:17 PM Mr. Reboletti introduces HB5773 - expressing no interest in first time violators, he says most people arrested are felons already and are able to bond out quickly. Mr. Reboletti continues his tack that most people are gang members from whom a large bond is required.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:20 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:20 PM Mr Reboletti states that first time offenders are taken out because "most likely" people are already offenders or "have a large amount of firearms".
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:22 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:22 PM Ms. Nekritz asks if the intent is to move a source of bond hearing up front. The answer is a source of bond hearing is often not included in these proceedings. Ms. Nekritz: So the goal is to keep these people jailed if the money is not from a legitimate source? Mr. Reboletti: The goal is to keep gang members in jail. Ms. Nekritz: I'm trying to understand what you're trying to accomplish. Keep people in jail? Mr Reboletti: The goal is to make sure the money comes from a legitimate source (contradicting his earlier statement).
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:25 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:25 PM Mr. Reboletti: I'm not trying to keep more people in.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:25 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:25 PM The committee is in recess until tomorrow. It should be noted that Mr. Reboletti, in his own words, worked closely with representative Zalewski on this bill. Mr. Zalewski is a well known anti-gun representative recently made famous by his desire to legalize cocaine in order to institutionalize gun offenders who might have made a simple, nonviolent mistake in where they possess a firearm.
mauserme Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:32 PM Author Posted March 25, 2014 at 05:32 PM The House is convening. Representative Tracy is excused today.
