Including Dave Weber, we have about 10 on this BBS who are vocal and active, the rest sit silent.....so I don't think we have a "force" on this BBS......You'll have your answer soon by how many post here ......

We just defeated HB 1263 and HB 815 in Illinois for the lame duck 97th general assembly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0bDJW97xBAE

The 98th is being seated today. We expect more to follow.

House Bill 815 would have:

- Prohibit anyone without a FOID card from using a commercial shooting range, which in many cases would make it impossible to introduce new shooters to the safe and responsible use of firearms.

- Grant the State Police broad discretion to impose design, construction and operation standards that could shut down most commercial shooting ranges.

- Ban possession of magazines and other feeding devices that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. A "grandfather clause" would require registration by owners of such devices and give the State Police discretion to impose and charge fees. Registration would require "proof of ownership" that could be impossible for most people to provide, and even registered owners could not transfer magazines within Illinois, except to an heir or a licensed dealer. Transfers of "grandfathered magazines" would have to be reported to the ISP.

- Violations of this magazine ban would be a felony. Failure to report theft or loss of a magazine would be a misdemeanor until the third violation, which would be a felony.

House Bill 1263 would have:

- Ban, at a minimum, all detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles and pistols. Remington 7400 deer rifles, Ruger 10/22 squirrel guns, Glocks, 1911s, etc. This ban would include about 80% of handguns now sold in the U.S.

- Possibly ban all semi-automatic rifles and even revolvers or single-shot pistols with the capacity to accept muzzle brakes or compensators.

- Ban "assault weapon attachments," so possession of a thumbhole stock, a pistol grip,or a fore-end (a "shroud" that "partially or completely encircles the barrel") would be a crime even if you didn't possess a firearm.

- Ban all .50 BMG rifles.

I have contacted my Congressmen and expect to follow up when the Feinstein bill hits Congress around the 22nd. If any of you have written letters or emails' and you don't mind, post them here. Perhaps other will use yours are a template and get off their collective duffs and contact their respective Congressmen.
Congratulations on the defeat in Illinois. As a former resident I know how tough the political climate is there.

You ten are the reason the rest are silent, this board is not what it used to be. At one time we were able to hold a civilized discussion, no more.

Civility has been missing for several years, we talk at each other not to each other.

Have 4 Democrats including the Governor (all female) With one Republican Senator (Ayotte). Have contacted all in my district with one reply from Ayotte. If we do not make ourselves heard we can not complain as to the outcome!!

Live Free Or Die State!!!

Please share your personal knowledge of the actions of "the rest", and why we should justify declining to participate in this venue to you or anyone else.
You will also note I and others are willing to use our full names and I can easily be found via my Profile infro and websites.
