sigh... lined out is the proposed change to the existing legislation: (8) (Blank). Any bus, train, or form of transportation 24 paid for in whole or in part with public funds, and any 25 building, real property, and parking area under the 26 control of a public transportation facility paid for in HB1429 - 3 - LRB103 05848 RLC 50868 b 1 whole or in part with public funds. this removes the restriction on carrying on public transport..... or in other words, CARRY ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT!!! .

yeah, imagine the unwary DRIVING in to lawfully turn in their guns, only to be arrested by THAT gotcha. They really are a slimy, detestable bunch, I would relegate them to the deepest circles of Hades. "Oh really??? The Sec of State hasn't informed you yet that your car cannot be re-registered and OH, BTW your driver's license ALREADY IS suspended" OK you're busted for driving on a suspended license... ya know, I never ever thought of wishing someone a terminal cancer diagnosis, but she qualifies.

It's not reading, it's thinking sneaky like the scoundrels. So people like Don Harmon can look all innocent and surprised after he cut the number of FFL's in Illinoise by about 50%.

Helium head.

I like the next line even more: Can we say that the Illinois Legislature has recognized that increased gun sales are not exclusively current gun owners buying more guns, as the gun grabbers are fond of pontificating?

The idiocy of some legislators continues to amaze me at times. Not just introducing stuff like this, but doing to so every two years, even after being shown how stupid their legislation is. HB 3039, however, I would keep an eye on. Language like that, which adds more responsibilities onto an agency, is going to inevitably invite further discussion of fee increases. And this bill was filed by a suburban Republican. Harmon introduced his dealer licensing bill every session, tried to push it through year after year. For 15 years? Then a farging APPOINTED Republican State Senator by the name of Tom Rooney voted for it and suddenly it was past the hurdle and running. ( A GREAT Republican Senator, Murphy, resigned, opening the door for that unspeakable appointment) Rooney paid the price politically, and we the citizens of Illinoid will continue to pay the price until we overturn that abomination.

They'd never go for that, makes too much sense.

What I see is a bunch of under educated "democrat" politicians who have a completely erroneous concept of who they are and the limits of both their power and it's ability to make changes under this governmental system. I quite cynically believe that the majority of the electorate is getting EXACTLY the government they DESERVE. INCLUDING the money woes (including the hits to their home's value) of the State of Illinois. And NOW they are spreading their infection far and wide across the U.S.A.

We need to FOIA the data with another breakdown as well - by HOUSE DISTRICT. We don't need to ask for the Senate numbers - just add the two House districts to generate the Senate numbers. I was (and still AM) trying to extract rough numbers for each legislative district from the county data. edit - that might not be possible, but they surely can break it down by ZIP CODE. At LEAST the 5 digit zip code. The dash four part of the zip code might be too deep, i.e. individual routes.

lol.... Lou - you CAN edit old posts!! I just checked by doing an edit on a February 2010 post...

not just felons, but also domestic abuse and etc... prohibited persons...

RacerDave6 60 to 70 count ain't bad on short notice. We can do better, but the last town hall in the evening, with more assured parking without crossing "questionable areas", with lots more notice only netted twice that. Saturday morning, short notice against Family activities. qwityergripin... Too short of notice for me to get signs up, in retrospect I should have pushed harder, earlier, and did a bit of "karnaking"... The IGOLD signs weren't appropriate. At least most of them. A completely different objective, message and mission. Then there's my car problems, coolant leak fixed, but car overheated and caused oil leak problems. Those fixes are in the works as well as a brake caliper that drags occasionally. With all that taking time and $$, I just couldn't get there. It killed me to miss it and continues to do so.
