AlphaKoncepts aka CGS Posted June 11, 2013 at 03:43 PM Share Posted June 11, 2013 at 03:43 PM ALERT - North Shore Townhall Meeting on Municipal Gun Regulations - Thursday, June 13, 7:00pm Several communities trying to pass so-called "Assault Weapon Bans" After the passage of IL HB-183 (amended to be CCW) through both houses of the Illinois Legislature, Rep Drury and Lt. Gov Sheila Simon have issued statements urging the passage of local firearms bans during a window of time provided for in the bill. Simon and Drury are promoting bans on semi-automatic firearms that you own under the guise of "Assault Weapons". This would likely include popular sporting and defensive firearms like the AR-15, and standard-capacity magazines for all kinds of handguns and rifles. Law-abiding gun owners could face confiscation of their firearms or criminal prosecution. At this time, Deerfield and Highland Park appear to be considering new local ordinances. What about your town? If you live in the North Shore area, please come to this Townhall Meeting to learn what you can do to stop this effort to ban your firearms. What: North Shore Townhall Meeting on Local Gun Regulations Where: Vernon Township Community Center, 2900 N. Main Street, Buffalo Grove When: Thursday, June 13, 7:00 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriots & Tyrants Posted June 15, 2013 at 06:19 PM Share Posted June 15, 2013 at 06:19 PM 4:30 PM? I guess they want the stay at home "think of the children" types to outnumber any pro gun people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leth Posted June 16, 2013 at 02:51 AM Share Posted June 16, 2013 at 02:51 AM Yeah, that's annoying timing. I'm eager to attend, but there's no way I'll be able to get out of work in time to get there at 4:30pm. I might try to go, even if I'm late.

skinnyb82 Posted June 21, 2013 at 09:22 PM Share Posted June 21, 2013 at 09:22 PM Gee I just love how they blatantly pervert Heller. Scalia's opinion addressed NFA stuff like grenades not a rifle with a foregrip (which, by banning it, violates the ADA). Subject to "certain types of governmental regulations (which are outlined below and violate the aforementioned Supreme Court ruling)." "Let's just leave out that pesky 'in common use' thing that Scalia said, we don't like him anyway" "WHEREAS, in District of Columbia v. Heller, the United States Supreme Court recognized that the Constitutional protections related to firearm ownership is not unlimited, and can be subject to certain types of governmental regulations; and WHEREAS, in its Heller decision, the United States Supreme Court specifically acknowledged that the protections afforded by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States does not extend to all types of firearms; and" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leth Posted June 21, 2013 at 10:38 PM Share Posted June 21, 2013 at 10:38 PM I'm looking forward to being there for Mondays town meeting. According to the agenda packet, the town has received about 24 emails from individuals supporting the ban. I'll be interested to see how many turn up for the meeting.

ltdmstr Posted June 22, 2013 at 05:16 AM Share Posted June 22, 2013 at 05:16 AM I lived in HP for about 5 years before I moved to Deerfield. It is about as far left as you can get politically. Of all the suburban towns, I'd say Highland Park is the most likely to pass an AWB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leth Posted June 22, 2013 at 08:22 PM Share Posted June 22, 2013 at 08:22 PM We need a big turnout Monday for this Highland Park meeting. Domino effect : If one town allows an AWB, others will feel more inclined to. I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostone1413 Posted June 22, 2013 at 08:49 PM Share Posted June 22, 2013 at 08:49 PM so you pass the Carry law. Then you go shooting close to where you live When you go you drive through another town and get pulled over now soon you would be a felon?? That is BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi Impact Posted June 22, 2013 at 08:53 PM Share Posted June 22, 2013 at 08:53 PM Gee I just love how they blatantly pervert Heller. Scalia's opinion addressed NFA stuff like grenades not a rifle with a foregrip (which, by banning it, violates the ADA). Subject to "certain types of governmental regulations (which are outlined below and violate the aforementioned Supreme Court ruling)." "Let's just leave out that pesky 'in common use' thing that Scalia said, we don't like him anyway" "WHEREAS, in District of Columbia v. Heller, the United States Supreme Court recognized that the Constitutional protections related to firearm ownership is not unlimited, and can be subject to certain types of governmental regulations; and WHEREAS, in its Heller decision, the United States Supreme Court specifically acknowledged that the protections afforded by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States does not extend to all types of firearms; and" I think there are two thing that someone attending should raise although they seem to be technical. First, notice in the preamble that : WHEREAS, many courts throughout the nation have upheld local regulations restricting or prohibiting the ownership or possession of assault weapons, including, without limitation, the State of Illinois Appellate Court, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, and the Court of Appeals for the State of California; and Please point out that the Illinois Appellate Court was overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court regarding the Cook County ban being a violation of the Second Amendment. Also, point out that when, not if, the ordinance is challenged, the standard that will be applied will be "strict scrutiny" which means THEY, the Village, will have to prove by empirical studies, that mean facts, not feelings, that their ban WILL make them safer in Highland Park. They will have the burden of proof. Strict scrutiny is what the judge in Wilson will be applying at the trial. Over 4 million law abiding Americans use semi-automatic rifles for lawful purposes and all data is on our side. Should be able to do that in 3 minutes.

That is BS If the carry law passes, that will preempt all transportation issues. You can drive through Highland Park with your AR-15 unloaded and in a case. THe problem is if the carry law does NOT pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hap Posted June 24, 2013 at 01:53 PM Share Posted June 24, 2013 at 01:53 PM The latest email from ISRA includes the following: The Highland Park meeting is now higher profile, and is expected to be packed with anti-gun zealots sent by the 10th Congressional District Democrats, an organization long dedicated to removing your right to keep and bear arms. Please attend this meeting if you can. Get there at least 1 hour early, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
