They want as many infringements they can get now, so when they manage to flip SCOTUS far left they can fast-track a case to reverse Bruen, Heller, etc.  Then all these infringements become magically constitutional.

Click the link in the body of the alert that reads "House Amendment 1 to HB218".

 

The "read more" link is about the bill in it's entirety, which is more than only the amendment.

 

 

 

 

[JNG3]

HB676 is making me very angry. If passed as is (and if I'm reading it correctly!!) Eventually, county by county, every single gun range and every single gun hunting opportunity/property/spot/whatever would effectively be banned. 1000 yards from residences in the state of IL is darn hard to accomplish!
