SPECIAL ALERT UPDATE– YOUR ACTION REQUIRED SENATE COMMITTEE APPROVES BILLS TO RUN RANGES OUT OF BUSINESS AND BAN 80% OF YOUR GUNS
MESSAGE FROM
COMMITTEE DEMOCRATS: “Eliminating law-abiding gun owners is a good ‘first
step’ towards a ‘civil society.’”
Votes on
HB815 and HB1263 were split along party lines in the Senate Public
Health Committee Wednesday night with the committee Democrats voting 6-4
and 6-3 to send the bills to the full senate. If these two bills become
law, they will resulting most, if not all ranges in the state going out of
business as well as the banning of ALL semiautomatic rifles, pistols and
shotguns as well as banning all pump shotguns and rifles.
In comments made
during testimony, committee Democrats stated plainly that HB815 and HB1263
were “first steps” and that these bills have as their objective the
creation of a “more civil society.” In other words, elimination of lawful
gun owners is a required first step for creating a more civil society. Of
course, there was no mention of the impact of eliminating criminals.
HERE IS WHAT YOU
NEED TO DO ON THURSDAY:
1. Call Senator
Dave Syverson at (217) 782-5413 and tell him “THANK YOU” for supporting
lawful gun owners by voting “NO” on HB815 and HB1263.
2. Call Senator
Shane Cultra at (217) 782-6597 and tell him “THANK YOU” for supporting
lawful gun owners by voting “NO” on HB815 and HB1263.
3. Call Senator
Christine Johnson at (217) 782-1977 and tell her “THANK YOU” for
supporting lawful gun owners by voting “NO” on HB815 and HB1263.
4. Call Senator
Carole Pankau at (217) 782-9463 and tell her “THANK YOU” for supporting
lawful gun owners by voting “NO” on HB815 and HB1263.
It is very
important that you praise these Senators for their support.
The ringleader of the
effort to shut down shooting ranges and take your guns away from you is
Senator Dan Kotowski. You may wish to call him at (217) 782-3875 and
politely explain to him that, as a law-abiding gun owner, you do not
appreciate being treated like a criminal and that you oppose any efforts
to regulate shooting ranges, ban semiautomatic firearms, or ban standard
capacity magazines.

Statewide
Firearm Ban
Moves Forward
in IL!
Legislation
Advances to Senate Floor for Debate and Possible
Vote
Today!
HB 815 amendment 1& 2 and HB1263 amendments 5 & 6 were approved along party lines (Democrats
supporting, Republicans opposing) and passed out of the Senate Public Health
Committee last night. Both bills now proceed to the full Senate for a floor
debate and vote, possibly as soon as today.
If passed the bills would ban most all semi-auto handguns, rifles, and shotguns as well as pump rifle and shotguns. The proposed legislation would also close down most shooting ranges and clubs that are open to the public or conduct events open to the public. Included in the legislation is a ban on ammunition magazines with a capacity to hold more than 10 rounds, a requirement to register all guns and magazines with the Illinois State Police.
We cannot allow Chicago politicians to spread Chicago's disregard for the Second Amendment and their outrageous treatment of law abiding gun owners to the rest of the state.
Call your IL State Senator NOW and urge him/her to vote no on HB 815 and HB 1263! Call Senate President John Cullerton and let him know you do not appreciate Chicago-style gun and range bans being forced on the rest of the state! Be polite but firm!
