fly Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 For all my conservative friends out there... Currently the IL Cook "Crook" county Democrats are at it again. Now they are planning to impose more anti-gun legislation that will make it more difficult for IL residents to purchase firearms. Seems they will not be happy till the 2nd Amendment is abolished. Read up on the bill at: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=180&GAID=10&GA=96&DocTypeID=HB&LegID=40197&SessionID=76 If you are in opposition to this bill as I am contact your representative and let him/her know. You can find out who your representative is by searching this site: http://www.elections.il.gov/DistrictLocator/SelectSearchType.aspx?NavLink=1 My letter to Jerry Costello (District 12): Hello Congressman Costello, I wanted to inform you that I am in opposition of the following anti-gun legislation (HB 0180 and HB 5734). Illinois is already one of the top states in the country imposing restrictive gun laws. I encourage you to oppose these bills and uphold the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution.

m gardner Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 what if you dont disagre with it? Would you enjoy giving up the rest of your rights too? They need to get firearms ownership and free speech out of the way before the government can basically enslave us. Do they still teach world history in our ever deteriorating school system?

fly Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) what if you don't disagree with it? Did you read the full text included in this bill? In order to sell a handgun one would need to get a license. The details one must meet to apply are very detailed making following this proposed law difficult at best. Catching someone on a technicality would be easy. When that happens the State Police, municipality, or county will then be able to revoke that license for 15 years or more. The language also states the Department "may" issue a license for individuals that meet all the specifications, it does not say they "will" issue a license. In addition: The applicant must submit to the Department (State Police) a license fee of $300.00 payable at the time of application, and an additional $300.00 payable every 3 years thereafter. So lets empower the local government in IL to screw us over (a government that is proven to be as corrupt as *@#$) and then pay them for the screwing.

SourthenILdeerhunter Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 just read this on a nra's newsletter House Bill 5751, introduced by State Representative Edward Acevedo (D-2), was voted out of the House Executive Committee this week, and is now on the floor. This bill if passed would ban countless semi-automatic handguns, rifles, and shotguns, many parts for the same, as well as .50 cal. rifles and ammunition.

Seems like every time I turn around some sort of %&*# is being proposed to take away the gun rights of IL citizens. I'm sick and tired of writing letters that most likely are falling on deaf Democratic ears. I've wrote several letters to Costello and I've never heard back from him once. When I lived in other districts and wrote letters I would hear back from them. Guess who's not getting my vote next election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
