As many of you know, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn today
utilized his amendatory veto authority to hijack a
pro-gun bill and convert it into a ban on so called
assault weapons. Quinn claims that his bill would
"...make Illinois a safer place."
Of course, lawful Illinois firearm owners know
better. We know that Quinn's true aim is to
obliterate private firearm ownership in the state.
Closer analysis of Quinn's bill reveals a host of
opportunities for Quinn and his buddy Emanuel to
make life miserable for the state's lawful firearm
owners.
Here is just a partial list of what this bill would
do, if passed:
1. Ban the manufacture, possession or sale of nearly
every semiautomatic rifle, pistol and shotgun you
own.
2. Specifically ban Glock pistols since they share a
common design with the Glock 18, a select fire
handgun.
3. Require you to register every semiautomatic
firearm and every magazine you own that exceeds 10
round capacity. The kicker is that, under Quinn's
proposal, the State Police can charge you unlimited
fees to register your guns. Thus if Quinn's bill
passes, you could very well find yourself paying
$100 or even $1,000 per firearm per year to comply
with the law. Additionally, you could find yourself
paying $50, $100 or even $500 per year for each
"high capacity" magazine you own. Can't pay? Well
then you would have to surrender your guns to the
State Police for destruction.
This is just a taste of what you could expect from
Quinn's gun ban. Twists and turns in the bill would
certainly open up the doors to taxation, regulation,
and outright bans on every civilian owned firearm in
the state.
Oh, and one thing is for sure, you can forget about
concealed carry if Quinn's gun ban passes.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO PROTECT YOUR GUN
RIGHTS:
1. Call your State Senator ASAP and politely tell
him or her that you are a law-abiding Illinois
firearm owner and that you expect him or her to vote
against Quinn's gun ban should it come up for a
vote. If you do not know who your State Senator is,
please follow this link:

2. Pass this alert on to all your friends and family
who own firearms. Tell them to make calls to the
senate as well.
3. Post this alert to any and all Internet blogs or
bulletin boards to which you belong.
4. If you're not already a member of the ISRA, then
it's time you signed on to protect your gun rights.
