“The ISRA has learned from a credible source that Illinois
Senate President John Cullerton will introduce a so called “assault weapons”
ban on Wednesday when the legislature returns for its “lame duck”
session. Cullerton hopes to ramrod the bill through and get it to
Governor Quinn for signature by Friday. If he is successful at doing so,
nearly every gun you currently own will be banned and will be subject to
confiscation by the Illinois State Police.
Based on what we know about Cullerton’s bill, firearms that
would be banned include all semiautomatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns.
Pump action shotguns would be banned as well. This would be a very
comprehensive ban that would include not only so-called “assault weapons” but
also such classics as M1 Garands and 1911-based pistols. There would be
no exemptions and no grandfathering. You would have a very short window
to turn in your guns to the State Police to avoid prosecution. “
Time for some of y'all to nail signs on your front door that state: GTT

We'd welcome any law abiding gun owners who don't want to awake to this kind of rumor in their state.

I have been busy calling and emailing our congressmen out here about this anti gun stuff and am now just hearing about this Illinois business. You are welcome out here in Washington as well. Not as good as Texas though!
ReplyDeleteThey just won't give up. I just had a discussion with my son about how the British marching to Lexington and Concord were not really going to arrest John Hancock but to confiscate the arms stored there. I guess we live in interesting times.
ReplyDeleteEven Kalifornia hasn't gone this far but I am afraid you are giving them ideas.
Grace and peace.
Come to Springfield with me and help me fight this thing. Info on pagunblog.com in comments section of Illinois Gun Ban post.
