More Anti-Gun Bills on the Horizon!

Witness Slip Instructions


Just two months ago the Illinois Supreme Court, in People v Chairez, stuck down the ban on otherwise legal possession of firearms with 1,000 feet of a park. In it's ruling, the Court re-established that the public ways belong to us all when it stated:

“...the State conceded at oral argument that the 1000-foot firearm restriction zone around a public park would effectively prohibit the possession of a firearm for self-defense within a vast majority of the acreage in the city of Chicago …. the most troubling aspect is the lack of any notification where the 1000-foot restriction zone starts and where it would end.

Innocent behavior could swiftly be transformed into culpable conduct if an individual unknowingly crosses into a firearm restriction zone.

 

Now Senator Nybo would like the State to thumb its collective nose at our highest court by reenacting the very law that was struck down. The unconstitutional nature of SB3289 UUW Park Reenact cannot be questioned. At question is why the Senator so disrespects the Constitution, the people of the state he represents and the very Court established to protect us from this type of legislation that he sought to usurp their authority within weeks of the Court's corrective action.

Hot on the heels of this bill came SB2561 Prepackage Explosive Component, the second attempt by Senator Morrison to require a FOID card in order to use binary targets when a FOID card is already required to shoot at any target. Her first attempt was vetoed by Governor Rauner in August, 2017.
