Illinois Dems Target "Assault Weapons", Age of Gun Owners

An unintended effect is going to be these new gun owners that don’t partake in politics much waking up one day and realizing they can’t buy mags and certain guns and that they are magically a felon because some north shore limousine commie introduced a bill, got it passed, and it was signed by the trust fund baby Governor 

How many of those new gun owners will willingly register their existing firearms, secure in the false belief that the state is looking out for them?

Well, they need to be educated that what the state is doing is illegal under the federal 1986 FOPA

The way the zombies in this state keep voting to make every aspect of life in this state worse ( unless you want a free abortion or maybe a check you didn't earn ) I have to say good luck with that.

Is the second amendment foundation going to file the lawsuit against this? Trying to figure who to support first.

Why doesn’t this bill apply the same restrictions to law enforcement in Illinois? Why do Chicago Democrats want this disparity?

Why doesn't it apply to politicians and their bodyguards?

New to the forum. I have been following this thread with much interest. One aspect that I haven't seen much if any discussion on is how this bill not only applies to the state of IL but extends its governance to all 50 states in the union. As a IL resident, once passed, I would be unable to purchase a restricted item in another state and maintain that item in said other state. So this law is not just a state level law but a IL citizen law that follows and controls them throughout the entire united states.

This is because gun laws, as I understand them, are home state bound. Is my understanding of this correct? And how is this sort of absurd overreach even conceivable?

Is there any other home state laws that carry to another state?

As a resident of Illinois, you could only buy a gun from out of state and have it shipped to an FFL in Illinois for you to pick up.  So, yes, you would not be able to purchase something to have at your vacation home / hunting lodge out of state.

Too often people conflate "gun' with all guns.  As an Illinois resident, you can buy a long gun in Wisconsin, take possession of it in Wisconsin and keep it at your wisconsin cabin or bring it back to Illinois with you.  As discussed in another thread, long guns can be purchased by Illinois residents in the states contiguous to Illinois and possession taken of that long gun without shipping to an Illinois FFL.

highly unlikely any FFL's are going to do this going forward if you have an IL address.

To justanoldman's point, you can't do the same thing in Colorado, though, because it's not contiguous. 

 

Back to Wisconsin, though... Having purchased a long gun at Cabela's in Wisconsin, I know that they comply with the FOID requirement and make you wait 72 hours. Do they do that because the state says so or because it's a CYA move on their part?  Either way, will they also enforce any restrictions built into HB5855?  "Sorry, IL resident, you can't buy that evil black rifle..."

Looks to be set up specifically to rally support and produce propaganda in favor of HB5855.  Not surprisingly staffed by known anti civil rights democrat party members.

So basically all this bleeding heart commie woman did is create a tax exempt non-profit that mirrors what her for-profit company C-Strategies does....

 

She’s an experienced propagandist that uses her expertise to weaponize political agendas and cultural movements (like the #MeToo movement). We really just need to stand aside and let them pass the most draconian bill they can with no interference from people in the house or senate.

Oregon’s measure 114 is getting spicy. This just prohibits the sale of “hi-cap” mags (amongst other things), and here’s where that’s at right now. relevant

Very exciting but thats a state court decision though. Does that still help provide persuasive case law across the 9th circuit and other areas of the country?

All cases can be looked at and reviewed for “ammo” is what I’m getting at. 

[steveTA84]

What was used to get that legislation squashed? Guns that held more than 10 rounds were around at the fine Oregon became a state, and just like in IL, there were no restrictions on capacity at the time

I completely agree.  I think we should have constitutional carry. Until we get the judicial system to slap down these egregious gun control bills we should not educate the legislators on how stupid they are.  

 

Pass HB5855  and let the courts use the standard of review set by the NYSRPA case to b**** slap their dumb ***** 👍😁

How are we going to get constitutional carry when we need a FOID to even own a firearm?

As always, the left goes too far on things and it leads to them getting slapped down in court. A very recent example (disregard the EPA ruling on this one too, where they changed the rules so they could bypass congress to “fight climate change”) is Roe v Wade being overturned. What happened there? Well, abortion activists went after the state of Mississippi because the state has an abortion ban after 15 weeks. Instead of leaving it alone (pick your battles), the abortion activists wanted to fight it and go farther. What happened? Well, R v W was overturned (not that abortion was a constitutional right, but it was protected federally) and it kicked abortion back to the states. It (challenging Mississippi) backfired immensely and then F’ed the whole abortion movement in a sense. Apply that to guns (an actual constitutional right) and what the left/dems are doing. After Bruen, they doubled down instead of backing off and cooling it. It’s not going to end well for the firearm prohibitionists

I’m guessing the FOID would need to be dismissed through some legal action.

Challenge the requirement to have a FOID Card.  Again, look back to the history of the 2A from 1791.

In my opinion, openly carrying firearms without a permit is about as close to the core right as you can get.  Concealed carry less so.

 

I believe states that make open carry illegal will eventually get slapped down, and will face a choice of making concealed carry more convenient, or deal with folks walking around with guns on their hips or in hand, as they did when the country was founded.
