ABC 7 has been reporting each half hour of their news broadcast that buses will be traveling from Highland Park to Springfield today in support of an AWB.  They're doing their MSM finest to drum up support for HB 5855 or anything like it.

It's currently 33° and snowing in Springfield. Think they'll be made to protest outside?

Excellent meeting in Springfield yesterday, ahead of the busses rolling in today.  Thank you,  Sen. Darren Bailey , Sen. Terri Courtney Bryant  Sen. and new minority leader John Curran, new House minority leader Tony McCombie, Rep. Patrick Windhorst and Rep. David Severin! All agreed that the ruling in NYSRPA v Bruen changes the whole Second Amendment landscape.  We think these folks will do all they can to protect our Second Amendment rights. Rumor is to watch for watered down version of HB5855.

No, the halls will be open to them, they will be given mochas and avocado paninis, and I’m sure Bob has masseuses on standby to make sure that they don’t get shoulder cramps from sitting too long on the buses, all paid for by the taxpayers...

If that’s the case, about the only thing they can do in order to not get blown out right away is something similar to what Naperville is doing (ban on sales), which again will (and is) already being challenged and once it makes its way through the courts, will be struck down due to the firearms and mags being in common use and just the natural progression of firearms technology (which nothing much has changed overall in reality in like 70 years). The next step really is energy weapons LOL

Glad to hear this. "Thank you" to each of them, and to all who stand with them.

 

I don't think there's enough water in Illinois, short of withdrawal of the bill. Ultimately, this isn't only about the 2A. It's about the sanctity of the entire Constitution.

 

Don't give an inch.

Thanks for the good news.  Let's hope that "watered down" means "non-existent", though, before the ISRA's seat-at-the-table compromises away more of our rights.

Would a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range be considered a firearm?  (Don't answer that, no need to clog the thread any more than I already have.)

My thanks to Mauser and Molly for their continuing efforts for us. Your work is appreciated. 

I agree with this statement. Where would we be without them?

I was up until midnight last night reading the New York response to the injunction and stay in their latest attempt to deny the 2nd Amendment rights of their citizens and I was struck by their utter contempt for the people. They don't want to represent the people, they want to rule them, just like the King of England did before the Revolutionary War. We must be steadfast in our response to their tyranny and prepare for a long legal battle since the democrats in Illinois are going to try and do the same thing.

My guess is they will fall far short of the numbers that turned out for IGOLD.

Yes you are correct. BUT, they'll also get more press than us.
