We've just learned that the Illinois House of Representatives will vote this Tuesday, April 26 (tomorrow), on two bills that seek to ban .50 caliber rifles.
YOU MUST ACT TODAY TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS !
The first bill, HB 1098, introduced by Representative Elaine Nekritz (D-57), seeks to ban all .50 cal. rifles and ammunition. The second, HB 2414, introduced by Representative Edward Acevedo (D-2), seeks to ban certain semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, as well as .50 cal. rifles. These bills will do nothing to address the problem of violent crime, and would serve only as another attack on your RIGHT to own the rifle caliber of YOUR choice.
With the flurry of legislative activity currently underway in Illinois, e-mails will be of little use as they will become buried in amongst those on other topics. It may take days before your e-mail is read and that will be too late. Consequently, we're asking Illinois firearms owners to please call or fax your State Representative and to do it TODAY. You can determine who your state rep is (and get their office numbers) by visiting the IL legislature website at: http://www.illinois.gov/government/gov_legislature.cfm You may also get your legislator's office numbers by calling (217) 782-8223. Please respectfully urge him or her to listen to the will of the electorate, not those with fanciful solutions for non-existent problems. Oppose HB 1098 and HB 2414.
The gun ban crowd feels they are on a roll with the California fifty ban in place and are already counting Illinois in their "win" column. They believe Illinois will be easier than California. They're convinced you're a soft target. Show them they are wrong.
