mauserme Posted February 28, 2013 at 06:31 AM Share Posted February 28, 2013 at 06:31 AM .Today brings another House Judiciary hearing on the subject of "Expanding gun safety laws and Unlawful Use of Weapons". As a reminder, "gun safety" has become the euphemism du jour for what is commonly understood to be increasingly unpopular gun control. Because this hearing will cover subject matter already included in previous witness slips, we are not calling for additional witness slips at this time. However, if you haven't already filed slips for the previous hearings please let your voice be heard by following the instructions in this thread The firearm related bills scheduled to be heard in the House Judiciary Committee yesterday have been rescheduled to 3/6/2013 while one ancillary bill, HB1017 Mental Health Confidentiality, now appears on the calendar at second reading. I'll continue to monitor this bill but will not list it publicly unless it seems warranted in the future. While not related to us, today finds 3 more bills listed under Weekly Order of Business on the House Calendar. The House is scheduled for 11:30 AM today and the Senate for 12:00 Noon.

DoktorPaimon Posted February 28, 2013 at 01:52 PM Share Posted February 28, 2013 at 01:52 PM For the record, 1017 guts confidentiality and allows doctors to disclose mental health data to a state-run "health information exchange" to be redistributed to whoever has access to the exchange without your consent. You have to opt out to avoid it and you can bet your a** that any carry bill's "waiver of confidentiality" clause will prevent you from opting out of the HIE. Even without the HIE it seriously reduces confidentiality. Its not a gun bill, yet, but its bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauserme Posted February 28, 2013 at 03:05 PM Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 at 03:05 PM The Illinois State Police witness is speaking in light of the Governor's amendatory veto on last session's SB681 and reflecting the Governor's wishes. ISP Has no way of knowing how many of these weapons are in Illinois. They will need personnel and adequate funding to implement. They are unable to register magazines.
