Sponsorship changed on two bills we oppose yesterday, in the House HB1091 Fix The FOID, and in the Senate HB1092 "Firearm Restraining Order Promotion & Enlargement". A new crop of anti-gun legislators is being groomed in the ways of rights denial.

 

On a better note the Senate Executive Committee has a bill we support, HB3172 Sch Cd - Gun Safety Course, posted to today's hearing.

 

 

The House is scheduled for 12:00 Noon today and the Senate for 10:00 AM.

 

 

 

Next Days Scheduled

 

House: 5/27/2021

Senate: 5/27/2021

In regards to Rep. Hirschauer becoming the main sponsor of Fix the FOID, if you recall, it was her MDA chapter (where she was a lead) that was trying to get police protection from people that showed up at their MDA meetings. If anyone here recalls, some of us did go to these. The one in question here (Naperville), the person that went just sat there and listened, nothing more. Even so, they want their allied mayors to supply bodyguards at taxpayer expense because of their irrational fear of opposing ideas

The dems have made the case that adding fees (see excessive bail arguments) and process (see any voting arguments) are racist. Here they are adding fees and an expensive fingerprinting process. You can't tell me they don't know exactly who they are targeting with these proposed laws. Pushing people into poverty and then putting extra expense on basic rights to prevent their exercise is straight out of the Jim Crow playbook. There is definitely an awareness of this with the vaccines: Chicago vaccines went to many residents of affluent suburbs early on, data shows - Chicago Tribune. I wish these hearings were honest and open so they would have to answer for their efforts to further reduce equity in exercising the right to self defense.
