Illinois Legislature to introduce Assault Weapons ban which bans... well, everything.

[DevsAdvocate 112]

Blogged this earlier:

From Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) via Shall Not Be Questioned

 

"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."

 

Looks like they’re gunning for everything here, using “Assault Weapons” to reduce Illinois gun owners to only having bolt-action rifles, lever actions, and revolvers. Weapons like the M1 Garand and 1911 would be banned.

If you’re in Illinois, now is the time to act. Call you local representatives and give them an earful.

Wow!!

500 murders and counting in a city that doesn't allow guns and this is where it goes. Amazing.

This just makes me sick...when will people get it? I foresee some Randy weaver incidents happening if this somehow passes. Also takes Illinois off my states to visit list.

Yeah..wrigley field can suck it

[Malsua 1,422]

That's pretty dire. He's planning on getting this through by Friday. wow.

[cigarsnscotch 0]

I am just offing dumbfounded by these moves and the reality that we have dimwits in power that think this is the answer. WTF is wrong with this country anymore. (whether it passes or not, my comments are more concerning the fact people even think this is the way)

[TK421 2]

I guess they plan on stimulating the economy by building prisons and grave yards cause those are the only two ways that is going to go. Illinois is sort of like New York City on a lake with the three other sides surrounded by Kentucky. This ain't going to end well if it passes.

[lunker 274]

Most of Illinois is NOTHING like Chicago. I can only hope it goes nowhere.

[DngrZne 0]

The court will have a field day with them after the last ruling

[Parker 213]

Another state that is going bankrupt. Illinois State Police have state issued credit cards which they use to buy fuel. Gas stations throughout the state were refusing to accept the credit cards when troopers tried to fuel up because they were not getting paid. That's pretty bad. You'd think they'd try to fix some of their real problems there.

[ChrisJM981 924]

I guess we'll see if it comes to be tomorrow or if it's a fundraising ploy.

[pbkid6974 1]

did the 7th circuit court just rule that they have to allow ccw? so their response is to just outlaw pretty much all guns? what a bunch of morons.

[gunguy1960 2]

Careful, we might be giving democrats ideas, allow concealed carry but outlaw all guns.

Perhaps, just perhaps, they feel it might be easier to "fix" those real problems after everyone's guns have been taken away. ;-)

that will never pass, chicago already tried to have an outright ban on handguns and it was shot down in the supreme court. all the BS this countries politicians are trying to pull is really starting to make me sick though...

[Big Jay 0]

+1 for never pass. At least not in any current form.

 

Question for you guys: When you go to buy a car; do you come in with your absolute most expensive offer? Or do you low-ball the hell out of the salesman?

 

Think about it. Of course they're going to come in with some ridiculous, anti-constitutional nonsense. It will get stripped down, cut up, into something that can pass.

[Zell959 40]

Wow, I keep underestimating how full-retard these attempts are gonna get. I figured Cryan's was the most insane idea we were going to hear. I was wrong...

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

Update - they're now going after IL ranges too:

 

http://illinoiscarry...showtopic=32803

 

Not only are they going after semi-autos and magazines, but they are going after ranges ...

 

Sources say the new bills would require any range open to the public to be run by an FFL. That they would be licensed under unlimited rules and regulations by the State Police. If you say what the Governor did under his AV of SB-681, you can imagine what kind of rules/standards he would put in place to run a range. ...

[MrSurfboard 1]

They said it has a 50/50 chance of passing. If it does, expect other gun hostile states (NJ, NY, MA & CA) to try the same thing. While I doubt our Governor would sign such a bill (he has said NJ gun laws are fine) he probably won't be here too much longer. I don't have the same confidence in the probable Dem Governor who would replace him.

[Soju 153]

that will never pass, chicago already tried to have an outright ban on handguns and it was shot down in the supreme court. all the BS this countries politicians are trying to pull is really starting to make me sick though...

 

See that is the problem. It CAN pass. They could care less whether or not it is constitutional. They pass this type of crap and only if it gets shot down after lawsuits will it not matter. Until then, they have time to enforce their unlawful legislation...

SO- Illinois will be the "test case" for the rest of the country. Makes sense since Obama's lackey Emmanuel is up there. What a joke.

[H.M. Murdock 0]

I am optimistic that we will stay the surge of anti-2A laws on a national level but I think regional anti-2A hotbeds will become more polarized to the rest of the nation.

 

I am most worried about NJ passing additional magazine capacity restrictions and a more comprehensive AWB.

 

Even though IL is more restrictive it seems an easier fight to regain protections of the 2A.. the vast majority of IL outside Chicago is rural (and presumably pro-2A?).. and their anti-2A laws are so extreme that they may be easier to fight on a Constitutional basis. In NJ we're a minority and most of the local population is raised to believe we are evil. Forget the war for now -- how can we win this battle?

[Albanian 121]

+1 for never pass. At least not in any current form.

 

Question for you guys: When you go to buy a car; do you come in with your absolute most expensive offer? Or do you low-ball the hell out of the salesman?

 

Think about it. Of course they're going to come in with some ridiculous, anti-constitutional nonsense. It will get stripped down, cut up, into something that can pass.

 

This, it is like when prosecuters give such hefty sentences for "found guilty" but then offer plea deals which are much more reasonable but require pleading guilt. Someone who is innocent but nervous about being found guilty may well plea guilt.

 

He tries to pass this ridiculous bill, it gets edited, and the lesser, but still bad, bill gets put through.

[Cemeterys Gun Blob 165]

All the bills moved out of commitee.....hang in there IL!!!

[TK421 2]

OMG, the stupidity is mind boggling! You have to read this, I almost laughed myself off my chair. I have taken the liberty to highlight the more comical items in red for your enjoyment.

 

So in short; a rifle can not have a full or partial barrel shroud to keep the shooters off hand from being burned on the barrel or a pistol grip for use by the non trigger hand? Oh yeah and a semi-auto pistol that has a "folding, telescoping, or thumbhole stock?" WTF? And these morons managed to clearly exempt tube fed .22 rim fires. What does that say about the morons that wrote NJ's law.

6 "WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court, in its decision

7 in District of Columbia v. Heller (No. 07-290), found that the

8 Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects an

9 individual right to possess a firearm, and to use that firearm

10 for traditionally lawful purposes, including self-defense; and

 

11 WHEREAS, in that same decision, the United States Supreme

12 Court also found that the individual right to possess and use a

13 firearm was not unlimited, that the government has the ability

14 to regulate the possession and use of firearms, and that this

15 right "does not protect those weapons not typically possessed

8 individual right to possess and use a firearm, and noting

9 expressly that such incorporation of the holding in the Heller

+1 for never pass. At least not in any current form.

 

Question for you guys: When you go to buy a car; do you come in with your absolute most expensive offer? Or do you low-ball the hell out of the salesman?

 

Think about it. Of course they're going to come in with some ridiculous, anti-constitutional nonsense. It will get stripped down, cut up, into something that can pass.

 

Or not. You come in with something stupid like this that probably can't even get out of committee, work the press hard, and smile that the opposing party chairs the committee that has to shut down things that aren't even vaguely constitutional or practicable.

 

No risk of having to live with the consequences of it passing, and you get to say the chair is pro kindergarten massacre next election cycle.

 

At least that's my guess give the presence of pump action shotguns in there.
