mauserme Posted March 5, 2013 at 12:18 PM Share Posted March 5, 2013 at 12:18 PM Sorry for the delay posting this - the forum was down. When we last met on 3/1/2013, SB50 Hunting Licenses for Veterans passed on a vote of 53/0/0 and has been sent to the House for it's consideration. It is currently in Rules. Eight Amendments have been filed on HB1156, seven of them proposing to ban commonly owned firearms and accessories, require locked storage, and registration. The House and Senate are both scheduled for 12:00 Noon As with last Tuesday, weather forecasters and political pundits alike predict that a major snow job will blanket Illinois today.

Burtonrider10022 Posted March 5, 2013 at 01:39 PM Share Posted March 5, 2013 at 01:39 PM OK im sorry about 1 of them, dont we usually keep our guns in a gun cabnit? And how do you propose they enforce the law? Just come in and inspect your "cabinet"? Many people keep one, or more, firearms accessible in the home, in safe locations. How will the new laws impact them? Securing your weapons is literally "common sense" (god, the liberals have completely ruined that phrase for me), but to put laws and restrictions and specifics on it is completely an invasion of ones privacy. I mean really and truly, I almost always keep mine in a locked storage. I store them in my home and I always lock my doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tvandermyde Posted March 5, 2013 at 01:46 PM Share Posted March 5, 2013 at 01:46 PM I know there are a fair number of hunters here on IC. If you read the amendments, DNR is now participating in the gun ban show. They have rule makg authority over what guns are banned, they have been consulting the State Plice over the language of the bill. So DNR has decided to become political, and be part of the gun ban agenda. Many of us need them for our hunting licenses. But we don't have to support them for anything else.

Ricky Two Guns Posted March 5, 2013 at 01:52 PM Share Posted March 5, 2013 at 01:52 PM I received this email today about this it has some good contact info hope it’s ok to post. Rick: "I don't believe the framers thought they were talking about assault weapons, I think they were talking about muskets." so says Rep. Andre Thapedi. Make no mistake gun-grabbing representatives like Andre Thapedi won't rest until they strip you of your constitutional rights and House Bill 132 does just that. This "Assault Weapon Ban", House Bill 132, will be up before the House Judiciary Committee again this Wednesday at 8 am in RM C-1 Stratton Building. Anti-gun committee hearings on this and other gun-grabbing legislation will continue throughout the week. Click here to contact ALL of the House Judiciary Committee members. Urge them to oppose all new anti-gun legislation including HB-132 and to support a clean concealed carry bill! Then when you are done, contact your State Representative at (217) 782-5350 and insist they do the same. -- Dudley From: Dudley Brown [mailto:dudley.brown@nationalgunrights.org] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 3:24 PM Subject: A Dangerous Decoy... http://nagr.org/Images/NAGR_email.gif Dear Fellow Patriot: The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals rightfully ruled the Illinois ban on concealed carry is unconstitutional. So, you might think Governor Quinn, Rahm Emanuel, and the big city gun-grabbers would be disappointed. You may even think that relief is finally on the way for law-abiding gun owners. Please. Don’t make that mistake. The sad truth is, elitist lawmakers are perched in Springfield loaded with plenty of anti-gun comebacks. While the court ruling is an opportunity for gun owners in Illinois, there’s work to be done first. And it starts this week. You see, your Second Amendment rights are under assault again! Recently, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy was caught saying that your right to keep and bear arms is “dangerous” and that he believes the second amendment limits citizens to "smooth-bore muskets." Unfortunately, many in the ruling class believe as McCarthy does. The political powers that be in Illinois are firmly entrenched in decades of anti-gun groupthink. Beginning today, many of them will be gathering in the Illinois House Judiciary Committee to discuss dozens of anti-gun bills… and Concealed Carry. Committee hearings are scheduled to continue tomorrow and Friday. And the radical left is hoping to use the anti-gun climate, fueled by recent tragedies, to push as much gun control as they can get away with. The truth is, Governor Quinn, Rahm Emanuel, and elitist legislative leaders aren’t disappointed at all. They think the courts handed them a blank check to enact more rigorous infringements on your Second Amendment rights. If gun owners like you don’t turn up the heat, Illinois could end up with MORE gun control along with new concealed carry bill -- not less. We’re talking proposals like: *** Taxes, fees, and surcharges so expensive that only the wealthiest could afford one, and restrict the right to only the politically connected; *** The requirement to demonstrate “good cause” or “need” for a permit, or to prove to the government that you are “suitable” enough to excessive your rights; *** Optional permit issuance -- which would give a sheriff or issuing authority the ability to deny you your right to carry for any reason whatsoever, (i.e. skin color, political beliefs) with a sham appeals process, and; *** Government-mandated training requirements that would force you to shoot like an Olympian, and pay another massive fee in order to take an eight hour -- or longer -- class... annually. On top of that, the legislature is also considering: HB-132 -- A massive new so-called “assault weapons” ban! It would: *** Outlaw possession, delivery, sale, and purchase of semi-automatic firearms, attachments, .50 caliber rifles, and .50 caliber cartridges; (This includes rifles AND pistols as well as virtually any accessory;) *** Ban the possession of magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition; *** Force the complete registration and/or confiscation of thousands of lawfully-owned firearms within 60 days; *** Strip you of your Second Amendment rights for being the victim of firearms theft if you fail to report it within 72 hours, and; *** Fine you $25,000 and throw you in jail for one, three, or even seven years for even the slightest violations. Other bills would: *** Impose additional restrictions on the already burdensome and unconstitutional Firearm Owner’s Identification Card (FOID); *** Impose a universal firearms registration scheme through the use of background checks, and; *** Invade your private health records in an effort to label you “mentally ill” and take away your gun rights. The quandary of relying on the judicial system is that even when the ruling is good, they often open up the floodgates for something even worse. But you and I know that these restrictions are anything but “reasonable.” They're just a part of a backdoor scam to impose yet another de facto repeal of the Second Amendment in Chicago and throughout the entire state. That’s why your action is needed now more than ever. Please do the following two things... right now! 1.) Contact the House Judiciary Committee members. Urge them to pass a clean “Constitutional Carry” bill with absolutely no burdensome regulations attached. Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D) (217) 558-1004 ChairNekritz@gmail.com Rep. Ann Williams (D) (217) 782-2458 ann@repannwilliams.com Rep. Dennis M. Reboletti ® (217) 782-4014 RepReboletti@gmail.com Rep. John E. Bradley (D) (217) 782-1051 repjohnbradley@mychoice.net Rep.

Call your State Representative at (217) 782-5350. (Click here to find out who represents you.) Demand they reject all anti-gun proposals including so-called “assault weapons” bans, magazine bans, mental health labeling scams, and universal gun registration and background checks. Make no mistake. Anti-gun lawmakers will use concealed carry as a very dangerous decoy... unless YOU speak up. That’s why YOUR action is so crucial. Contact your elected officials and tell them to OPPOSE all anti-gun legislation and support a clean Constitutional Carry bill today. Please act now! For Freedom, http://nationalgunrights.org/images/DWBsigBlue.jpg Dudley Brown Executive Vice President P.S. Governor Quinn, Rahm Emanuel, and the Chicago gun-grabbers are ecstatic. They think they’ve been handed a blank check to plunder your Second Amendment rights once and for all. But they’ve underestimated YOU. Committee hearings start this week. Will you help me stop the anti-gun legislation and fight for a clean “Constitutional Carry” bill with absolutely no burdensome regulations attached?

vess1 Posted March 5, 2013 at 02:46 PM Share Posted March 5, 2013 at 02:46 PM Here's something to consider. Doesn't all the exemptions cause more risk for people to leave their gun laying around somewhere where it can be stolen and misused? Ok, can't carry to work. Leave it on the shelf. Can't carry near this school or restaurant. Leave it in the car. Whereas, if we didn't have all of these exemptions, I'd always have it on me or around me. Total control of it 24/7. If I'm sleeping it's near me.. If I go to work, it could be on me. Anywhere I go it's on me or near me. Adding more exemptions means people have no choice but to leave their guns laying around to be stolen. The antis want so much that they end up negating what they think they're accomplishing. They're ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
