mab22 Posted March 9, 2021 at 01:07 PM Share Posted March 9, 2021 at 01:07 PM Why wouldn’t we do a massive call for action on HB432 Firearm Owners ID Act - Repeal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauserme Posted March 9, 2021 at 03:57 PM Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 at 03:57 PM Why wouldn’t we do a massive call for action on HB432 Firearm Owners ID Act - Repeal ? Well, there is the pigs flying thing but also because there are multiple bills filed to repeal the FOID Act. Some have more support than others so it makes sense to see which, if any, rise to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Mazzochi voices her concern about that approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauserme Posted March 9, 2021 at 04:51 PM Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 at 04:51 PM Representative Willis speaks of her support for viewing gun violence as a public health issue, saying it is not a crime issue. She speaks of "certain races" experiencing more gun violence, and certain geographic areas, without elaborating on her meaning. She states that the only way to create "sensible" laws is through this approach, implying that her various gun bills are nonsensical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KING Posted March 9, 2021 at 07:27 PM Share Posted March 9, 2021 at 07:27 PM HB192 Firearm Violence Prevention is up. We are neutral. OK, I have to ask. Why would we take a neutral stance on a bill that does nothing other than piss away tax dollars on so called gun violence. We as well as most know that there is no gun violence. There is a gang problem, a crime problem and a problem with the judicial system in not prosecuting the criminals. The intent of this group is to gather information to further strip our gun rights from us and push for more gun control. I OPPOSE this bill and any bill like it.

mauserme Posted March 9, 2021 at 08:16 PM Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 at 08:16 PM Illinois' direction on gun control is changing, at least temporarily. Instead of "gun violence" the problem is now sometimes being spoken of as a more generic "violence", with approaches to reduce it that differ significantly in some ways than in the past. This was most apparent during late summer 2020 subject matter hearings. As a gun rights group our goal is not to ensure fiscal responsibility. Our goal is to prevent gun control, and to enhance our rights when possible. If the legislature wants to explore alternatives to traditional gun control it's hard to argue against that, as long as their new ideas don't involve reducing our rights, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First step is to have everyone starting to look at “gun violence” as a public health matter. Next step is to have studies done declaring it a public health emergency (this won’t be hard to get some group to declare based on a biased study). Once you have a situation where the government determines there is a “public emergency”, the courts are much more lenient with what restrictions they will deem constitutional. See the last year, if you doubt that. Will all of that happen? Hopefully common sense will prevail, and it won’t happen. But don’t doubt for a second that some of these groups want it to.

Getting closer to this prediction, unfortunately. Today it’s a crisis.
