Senate Amendment 4 has been filed on HB5471 

 

Makes a technical change to a cross-reference in the bill

 

 

 

 

[mauserme]

After much ado about nothing, the Senate failed yesterday to advance any version of a firearm ban.  Instead, they scheduled their own version of a ban, Senate Amendment 1 on HB5471, for a subject matter hearing with an abortion bill.  This is an odd combination of subjects, to say the least.  We can only speculate as to the implication of this hearing.

 

EDITED to add that Senate Amendment 2 to HB5471 was filed late last night.

 

Please see our current Call to Action, and make sure to show your opposition this morning!

 

 

The Senate is scheduled or 1:30 PM today.  The House is not in.

[Sol-Invictus]

Since all of these provisions have been found unconstitutional and these legislators have declared open sedition and insurrection through violation of rights under color of law against the court and country when should we expect their arrest and detainment by the state attorney general? Call your legislator and demand action so this clear and present danger against our constitutional republic and be dealt with legally and justly.

[richp]

Dream on... The way the decks are stacked here politically and in the courts, there's not even a faint hope any of them will be called to task for their efforts to subvert and destroy our rights.

Senate has an executive hearing on their version at 9am, the version that the House (Welch got mouthy and was out of line by telling the senate that he doesn’t consider their version and told the senate to pass his/the house version), Pritzker (basically signaled he’ll veto the senate version) and Everytown (doesn’t support the senate version because the registration and confiscation/destruction provisions aren’t strict enough) doesn’t want, but the Senate seems to be a bit smarter and realize that the House version will be destroyed in court immediately, and their version is watered down and (still will be destroyed) stands a better chance. In short, we are at the same place we were last week, except both chambers are at odds with one another due and don’t want each other’s version

Looks the same as Ammendment 1 except adds the registry back, that the house had.

There is nothing in the Senate version that isn't as egregious and prone to being knocked down as the House version SPECIALLY with the changes in the #2 amendment.  Heck, look at the restrictions on use and places for 'grandfathered' weapons and magazines.  THOSE alone, violate Heller and Bruen.  SPECIFICALLY Bruen, as that ws part of the NY law as well, that was struck down.

Senate version grandfathers the mags and allows transfers of them if ISP is notified (which the whole thing is unenforceable anyways).  I’m not a proponent of the bill at all, but that part has “stakeholders” up in arms. And yeah, this bill is a steaming pile of manure

So they actually have a list that looks like the cook county BAN, it’s towards the end of the bill, and the obsession over .50 cal is pretty obvious, they really need to seek mental help.

Maybe if these legislators and activists were properly medicated they wouldn’t be so anxious and outraged all the time and can get their misery under control and stop spreading it to normal people who use logic and facts to come to conclusions and such. Trust the science, right?
https://wbckfm.com/new-pew-study-white-liberals-mental-problems/

According to Pew’s research white liberals/Democrats are much more likely than their conservative/Republican peers to have been diagnosed with one or more mental conditions.  

Interesting to note the difference is more pronounced in the younger aged category of 18 to 29-year-olds. Another interesting finding was that young white liberal/Democrat females were the most likely to have been diagnosed with a mental condition.

Here are the statistics of young women diagnosed with a mental condition:

56% of young white liberals

28% of young white moderates

27% of young white conservatives

Here are the statistics of young men diagnosed with a mental condition:

34% of liberal/Democrat men

22%  of moderate men

16% of conservative men

Yea, the only thing that makes the 'stakeholders' happy is the most egregious Unconstitutional version as possible.

Yep. And the ONLY reason they want registration is to target and harass current owners politically and eventually criminally. And again, it (registration) is not only not compatible post-Bruen, but illegal under federal law 

https://www.congress.gov/bill/99th-congress/senate-bill/49
Amends the rulemaking authority of the Secretary to provide that no regulation may require: (1) the transfer of records required under this Act to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State; or (2) the establishment of any system of registration of firearms, firearm owners, or firearm transactions. 

 

 

It’s pretty darn clear. The only reason things like the FOID potentially survive this is because you can get one without owning a gun. Tying registered guns (illegal) to an owner via a thing like the FOID (illegal) or even by name on a list is illegal

There are only two reasons the Dems want to register firearms, to tax or to take.

Likely both.  First tax at exorbitant rate, and take if not paid, then just take.

Just look at CT. Their governor is screaming that previously grandfathered rifles are now a “loophole” and should be confiscated.

Looks like we might only be getting audio of the executive committee hearing this morning.  I have meetings, so someone please take notes.

Let's hope the pro-gun side is lawyered up and ready to go to battle the minute His Immensness signs this pile of crap and the ink dries. A TRO followed by a hard strike down would be the best.

[Jeffrey]

I was in a LGS over the weekend for a couple hours of range time along with a tire kicking session.  Bossy lady was with so nothing fun to be bought.  I never heard a single individual discuss what is currently going on until a brief convo I made with a random dude.  Even he didn't seem interested.  I did hear the RSO complain to the group of kids next to me how they just bought the Glock he wanted and how p***** he was that it wasn't his.  He still made time to put a mag downrange assuming while still working as the RSO.  Unless you're an ISRA member who actually reads the emails or you visit here, chances are great that everyone else has zero clue as to what is currently happening.  Why don't more gun stores get involved?
