mauserme Posted January 5, 2016 at 02:10 AM Posted January 5, 2016 at 02:10 AM It's that time again - the much anticipated opportunity to monitor the filing of legislation related to our rights. The coming Spring 2016 Session should bring not only the usual number of new bills but, perhaps, the resurrection of some older legislation already filed. Because of this, the list of bills we'll monitor may take a bit longer than usual to evolve. This will also make volunteering to watch for new legislation especially important as the total number of bills we'll monitor could potentially approach twice the usual amount. Each volunteer will be assigned one or more block(s) of bills. Simply visit the Bills and Resolutions page periodically, click on the number group(s) assigned to you, and check any that appear to effect us. Any bills that seem relevant should be posted in this thread. Pay particular attention to bills that effect the following codes, including "shell bills" that change a single word but can be used for other purposes later. 430 - Public Safety Code 520 - Wildlife Code 525 - Conservation Code 720 - Criminal Code House Bills 4301 - 4500 mauserme 4501 - 4700 transplant 4701 - 4900 tkroenlein 4901 - 5100 tkroenlein 5101 - 5300 ljnowel 5301 - 5500 Xwing 5501 - 5700 Onytay 5701 - 5900 Neverforget 5901 - 6100 w9trb 6101 - 6300 Chief Illiniwek 6301 - 6500 smelf2 6501 - 6700 6701 - 6900 Senate Bills 2201 - 2400 mauserme 2401 - 2600 transplant 2601 - 2800 tkroenlein 2801 - 3000 tkroenlein 3001 - 3200 ljnowel 3201 - 3400 Xwing 3401 - 3600 Onytay 3601 - 3800 w9trb 3801 - 4000 Chief Illiniwek 4001 - 4200 4201 - 4400 4401 - 4600 . .

Have we had any? ... Thanks for keeping up on these. The melting point test is a throwback to laws passed after the Civil War allowing the sale of only the most expensive firearms. Those laws were intended to keep freed slaves disarmed with seemingly race neutral language. Similarly, the higher melting point test is meant to keep more affordable firearms off the legal market today. It's time we do away with such things.

MrTriple Posted January 28, 2016 at 09:49 PM Posted January 28, 2016 at 09:49 PM I see that Morrison has filed a few bad bills. I'm not in her district, but I'm close enough for discomfort.
