InterestedBystander Posted August 27, 2019 at 05:38 AM Posted August 27, 2019 at 05:38 AM Really...a gun safety bill...thats preventing people from fearing for their lives? Huh? Yep, this will stop them... full story at link... https://ilhousedems.com/2019/08/26/willis-backed-gun-safety-bill-to-protect-places-of-worship-becomes-law/ Willis-Backed Gun Safety Bill to Protect Places of Worship Becomes Law SPRINGFIELD, Ill. State Rep. Kathy Willis, D-Northlake, supported a new law that increases penalties for individuals who commit religiously-motivated hate crimes. The measure was recently signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Violent gun crime is occurring too often across our country, and something must be done to end this insanity, Willis said. This new measure will offer much-needed protections for people of faith who will now have the security of engaging in their religious practices without fearing for their lives. It is now more critical than ever to continue efforts to fix the FOID system in Illinois too. Willis supported House Bill 38, which increases the penalties for inciting an act of violence in a church, synagogue, mosque or other place of worship. Prior to this law taking effect, it was an aggravating factor in sentencing when the target of an attack was a police officer, firefighter, emergency medical technician or child under the age of 12. The Willis-backed bill expands this classification to violent crimes occurring in places of worship and against those who are praying or engaged in religious activities. In Illinois alone, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there are 31 known hate groups, some of which include Nazi-sympathizers like the Aryan Nations Sadistic Souls and the America First Committee. There are more than 1,000 hate groups nationwide. People of faith have rights too, and they should never be afraid to pray in a peaceful setting, Willis said. Hate groups and hate speech are being flamed by the divisive rhetoric that is coming out of Washington D.C. on a nearly daily basis, but Illinois must remain vigilant in calling out that division....
Flynn Posted August 27, 2019 at 05:52 AM Posted August 27, 2019 at 05:52 AM As if these mass murderers care about laws? Not that it would change many mass murderers minds, but bring back the death penalty, so maybe there is actually some deterant to a few vs the threat of multiple life times in prison vs the one you actually are living.
mauserme Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:20 AM Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:20 AM It's kind of crazy to call this a "Willis backed bill". In the House, Rep Mayfield was the chief sponsor. She began working on it during the previous General Assembly. It passed unanimously, having no more to do with Rep Willis than any of the other 117 House members. This is just a photo op for Rep Willis during a quite summer - a diversion from the GDL fiasco which was Willis' pet project.
Molly B. Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:59 AM Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:59 AM Reading her comments really turns my stomach. She does not pass up an opportunity to spread her insanity.
howie Posted August 27, 2019 at 11:09 AM Posted August 27, 2019 at 11:09 AM I don't know of a piece of paper that's ever protected good folks from nut jobs. How stupid can they be?
Bird76Mojo Posted August 27, 2019 at 01:39 PM Posted August 27, 2019 at 01:39 PM Isn't the brunette woman in that photo the same one that got kicked out for sending texts saying she wishes she had a gun to use against her opponents?I'm surely mistaken, but she looks familiar.
TomKoz Posted August 27, 2019 at 01:47 PM Posted August 27, 2019 at 01:47 PM Sounds to me like they Hate the Hate Groups.

Sol-Invictus Posted August 27, 2019 at 05:08 PM Posted August 27, 2019 at 05:08 PM I thought the SPLC was recently classified as a hate group? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Sol-Invictus Posted August 27, 2019 at 05:12 PM Posted August 27, 2019 at 05:12 PM To really have fun with this ... if ANTIFA or any protester, attacks the KKK when they are having a March, which they consider a religous expression, Hate Crime! Also if she incites violence against the KKK she would fall under the increased scrutiny. She is a complete idiot. I think they should pass a law against murder of they are serious about stopping the killing. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

But knowing that someone who is perfectly willing to face murder/attempted murder, countless weapons charges, and whatever else will now face a few more add-ons, that makes me feel better. Who the f buys that nonsense? Prior to this law taking effect, it was an aggravating factor in sentencing when the target of an attack was a police officer, firefighter, emergency medical technician or child under the age of 12.Do we have any evidence that existing laws made cops or kids under 12 bulletproof?

speedbump Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:36 PM Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:36 PM "...something must be done to end this insanity, Wills said." Read that again slowly Kathleen. Now, read it again. How does one propose to end the human condition known as "insanity"? What treatment will do that? None, of course, despite it being the primary factor in Mass killings.
RECarry Posted August 28, 2019 at 03:47 PM Posted August 28, 2019 at 03:47 PM a/ka known as the Religious Extremists and Terrorists Protection Act. Why does Willis presume that hate groups only exist on the far right?

kevinmcc Posted August 30, 2019 at 12:20 AM Posted August 30, 2019 at 12:20 AM Let's pretend that someone committing violent crime cares about enhanced penalties and that in Cook county those enhanced penalties will matter in the courts.
Plinkermostly Posted August 30, 2019 at 01:05 PM Posted August 30, 2019 at 01:05 PM Church -- thou shall not kill. Not a good track record for regulations given the first one never seemed to work very well either.
spec4 Posted August 30, 2019 at 05:33 PM Posted August 30, 2019 at 05:33 PM She is in a position to do this trash because of the people who voted for her. Willis will eventually go away, a misguided electorate is with us forever.
