Illinois Ammo Ban Bill

[RugerOldArmy]

AMMUNITION BAN BILLS ON THE MOVE IN ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY

A pair of ammunition ban bills are up for hearing in the House Executive Committee this week. If enacted, either of these bills would effectively ban the purchase of ammunition in Illinois. The bills in question are HB 4269 sponsored by Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago), and HB 4349 sponsored by Rep. Naomi Jakobsson (D-Champaign).

Here is what passage of either of these bills would mean to you:
1. Ammunition manufacturers would be required to imprint a secret code on cartridge casings so that the purchaser of the ammunition could be identified.

2. When you purchase ammunition, that secret code would be registered to your name.

3. All your ammunition purchases would be registered with the Illinois State Police.

4. You would be responsible for all eternity for ammunition registered to you.

5. It would be in your best interest to destroy all expended ammunition casings because an unaccounted for empty casing could be used to frame you for a crime you did not commit.

6. You would have to surrender all unregistered ammunition you now own to the Illinois State Police.

7. Reloading would be banned.

8. The Illinois Department of Revenue would be authorized to place a tax on ammunition and raise that tax any time for any reason.

9. Taxes and increased manufacturing costs would raise the price of a box of .45 ammo to $200 or more.

10. Gun ownership would become too costly for most people.


WHAT YOU MUST DO TO HELP SAVE YOUR GUN RIGHTS:

1. Call Rep. Monique Davis’ office at (217) 782-0010 and POLITELY tell the person that answers that you are a law-abiding gun owner and you would oppose Rep. Davis’ attempt to ban ammunition.

2. Call Rep. Naomi Jakobsson’s offce at (217) 558-1009 and POLITELY tell the person that answers that you are a law-abiding gun owner and you would oppose Rep. Jakobsson’s attempt to ban ammunition.

3. Call each of the following members of the House Executive Committee and POLITELY tell whoever answers the phone that you OPPOSE HB4269 and HB4349 and that you would like them to vote against those bills in the Executive Committee. Remember, you represent the gun owners of this state, so BE POLITE:

Rep. Dan Burke (D-Chicago) (217) 782-1117
Rep Joseph Lyons (D-Chicago) (217) 782-8400

5. Please post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards to which you may belong.



Time to move!

The fear of guns in Illinois defies all logic. This town has more closet gun owners than America has closet anything-else. Yet, somehow, all they elect are more and more anti-gun types. Is Chicago the new California or do the people of Chicago fear that Al Capone may be reincarnated? I escaped Chi-town and never looked back (and looking back at the weather, THANK G0D).

I love the City and dislike the politics. The state of Illinois is split 50/50 on the 2nd amendment. Its Chicago vs The Rest of the State.

Secede.


I'm only half joking.

Suits the self-appointed leftist extremist elite just fine.

These bills are popping up everywhere. PA has fairly unrestrictive gun laws and the same bill was just presented here.

Wow!


OOps My post apparently didn't get deleted I am and idiot and didn't realize that this is the same post that is in the legal...errr..activism section that I did reply to.

So if you read this I'm sorry it was totally a misunderstanding by me.

The post I replied to is actually still there

I'm wondering which group of activists is behind this bill being presented in so many states simultaneously?

Interesting ... so when it comes to health care, food stamps, medicare, school lunches, etc etc etc ... we all need to help poor people. NOW, they want to make it so only rich people can shoot guns??

I moved to Illinois a year ago, and it has made it really hard for me to respect the other side of the political isle. I could at least have some shallow respect the anti's if they would simply call the bill what it is, and allow an open discussion on it. All of these backdoor tactics to remove guns from society are so ...

Actually it is more like 1/3 versus 2/3 of the state here in Illinois. I am so frustrated with the city and the politics that come along with it?

Does anyone think this bill has a chance at passing? And will it affect LEOs?

Starve them into accepting your point of view.
