Call to Action Witness Slips Needed Oppose SB2130 If you haven't already filed witness slips in opposition to SB2130 FOID Assualt Weapon, please see the ongoing discussion and instructions here. Reserved for updates. . .
mauserme Posted August 22, 2016 at 11:01 PM Author Posted August 22, 2016 at 11:01 PM . When we last met, on 6/29/2016, a few new bills had been filed and activity continued on some existing bills. Among these is SB2130 FOID Assualt Weapon. Though referred back to the Senate Assignments Committee in late May, the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Firearms scheduled a subject matter hearing for the morning of 8/23/2016. This bill, which threatens the firearm preemption that became part of Illinois law 3 years ago, will be our focus today. If you have not already filed witness slips in opposition to this bill, please do so before the 11:00 AM hearing. Instructions and discussion can be found here. The hearing is slated to be streamed by Livestream and, perhaps, will appear on the ILGA site as well. Of some interest at the county level, Cook County passed Ordinance Amendment 16-4198. This amendment accomplishes two things: > Permits a resident of Cook County who's firearm is transfered, lost, stolen, destroyed, or is otherwise missing to report the event to the Cook County Recorder of Deed's Office > Allows the Recorder of Deeds Office to receive and permanently record the report Neither the report nor recording is mandated by this change. Next Days Scheduled House: 11/15/2016, or to the Call of the Chair Senate: 11/15/2016, or to the Call of the President . .

Molly B. Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:16 AM Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:16 AM We have 2715 opposed They have 377 proponent
StreuB1 Posted August 23, 2016 at 02:35 PM Posted August 23, 2016 at 02:35 PM Its always so laughable.....sadly no matter the count, they get their way. Though as Todd has said, the numbers we get send waves through the halls and back door meetings in the capital. So, we're still crushing them.....just need to keep that overwhelming force up.
FieldGL Posted August 23, 2016 at 02:36 PM Posted August 23, 2016 at 02:36 PM Sad we only got 2715. Not like it takes long to fill out a slip. 400 PRO now.

Molly B. Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:06 PM Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:06 PM I see the regular cast of anti-rights characters are present . . .
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:09 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:09 PM The Subcommittee on Firearms is coming to order.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:10 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:10 PM Senator Morrisson, the bill's sponsor, replaces Senator Noland as a committee member.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:11 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:11 PM Senator Morrission introduces her bill has removing home rule preemption without mandating passage of "assault weapons", She describes the bill as allowing them to do what, in her view, is proper and appropriate. She describes the weapons she hopes will be banned in terms of capacity and speed without acknowledging those as traits shared with most other firearms in civilian use.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:13 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:13 PM Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering now speaks into a dead mic.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:15 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:15 PM The mic is now turned on as she continues without repeating herself. She believes 10 days is insufficient to make the decision to ban these firearms, but fails to note that every municipality had years and decades to pass them if they chose, prior to the final 10 day deadline.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:16 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:16 PM Ms. Rotering believes Highland Park's ordinance should serve as a model for other towns. She asks the ILGA to allow them to make a decision, perhaps meaning a chance to be forced into agreement with her when they specifically chose not to for the years leading up to preemption.
Talonap Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:17 PM Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:17 PM Keep bringing up the 7th Circut decision upholding HP Ban.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:19 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:19 PM Corporate Council for the City of Highland Park describes the various ways their ordinance creates criminals out of peaceful citizens.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:20 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:20 PM Counsel continues his moot description of the ordinance that cannot be adopted by other towns under current Illinois Law.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:23 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:23 PM Counsel continues by stating a desire to protect Highland Park residents from the use of these weapons when the ordinance, in fact, does nothing to prevent this. It only affects the least likely to use any firearm with ill intent - those most willing to follow law in the first place.
Hipshot Percussion Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:24 PM Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:24 PM Todd looks like he is chomping at the bit.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:26 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:26 PM Senator Harmon (?) again puts the cart before the horse by asking how the definition of "assault weapon" is better than arbitrary. Questioning seems to assume this bill will pass despite it's slim prospects.
Hipshot Percussion Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:27 PM Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:27 PM LEE GOODMAN!? Really?! Lord. Lee Goodman will speak as a proponent of gun control.

Hipshot Percussion Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:29 PM Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:29 PM Mom's Demand Action talking.. she is trying hard not to break down crying.
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:29 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:29 PM Brenna (?) Brian, a member of Mom's Demand Things, speaks for herself rather than the organization. She also speaks of the 10 day window that followed decades of opportunity.
Hipshot Percussion Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:30 PM Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:30 PM Weapons of war.. .hands of civilians... blah blah blah.. crying now...
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:30 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:30 PM In a statement of desperation for some sort of success, she would like to be able to "have this discussion again".
mauserme Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:31 PM Author Posted August 23, 2016 at 04:31 PM Mark Walsh of ICHV describes municipal bans in terms of being a place holder until a ban can be passed at the state level. He broadens the debate to include magazines.
