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

How was California able to make citizens in the state turn over "assault weapons" without compensation? Just interested in how a state authority can just demand you turn over private property to the state without just compensation. That would seem to be a violation of the constitution.
 
this sounds like a bunch of propaganda directed at and for the sole purpose of raising funds. there is no way any group of politicians would pass a law like this as it would be overturned in an appelet court before it ever took effect. i know that there are a lot of single individual politicians who would love to see all guns go bye bye, but, fortunatly for us, 1) the second amendment, 2) the appeals court system, 3) there are enough pro gun politicians to stop b.s. like this from ever getting through. i can believe that they are trying to get ammo serialized. it sucks, all that would do is raise the cost of already skyrocketing ammo prices. there would be no effect on criminal activity. if they serialize ammo, the crooks will just steal ammo like they do guns. it's a no brainer.
 
Does this mean all bullet and gun manufacturers will be moving to Texas?!?!?! I will invite them now before obamama wins and attempts to take everything we own.

I just can't believe that this would pass....even in liberal Illinois. The said part is that there are SO many wonderful Americans in IL and they wont be able to do a thing about it.
 
If this passes, in protest everyone should throw their illegal ammo in the garbage can. And not just you own. Drop a few rounds in dumpsters behind stores. Garbage cans at malls, stores, etc. Over time too, not just on one day.

Let it hit the landfills, or even better-THE INCINERATOR. Doesn't matter what it would do when that happens. Its what THEY think it will do.

Think about it for a minute. What are they going to do?

Arrest half the state, plugging up the court systems and prisons for years. The ammo is not traceable by their own admission.

Is the garbage company going to refuse to pick up the garbage? Hand inspect all garbage? Maybe the entire police department could be diverted to picking through all the garbage in the city? Stop filling landfills? Shut down the incinerators? For how long?

Guerilla warfare, anyone?
 
Could someone please post a link to the proposed bills so us not so compu savvy handloaders could check this out.
 
Illinois has a real bad history for guns and gangsters, guess they are so tainted they still want to take it out on the decent citizens :what:
 
maybe you Illinois will get lucky and an earth quake will drop Chicago into the bottom of Lake Mishigan....

If we're really lucky, San Fran and NYC would drop as well.

Can you imagine how much better off this country would be without these major urban centers!
 
does anyone remember the Gun Control Act of 1968 ? all the hooplah and fall out from the Kennedy assasination , you had to sign for .22 rimfire, and other ammo sans shotshells. it also stopped importation, of "saturday night specials"
(another worn out phrase of the anti's) like the Walther PPK, and a lot of damn nice firearms, for a while.

then comes the Brady B.S. (you know i would like to have the chance to look into the nightstands of half these people and see how many have a .38special laying in the top drawer). with the Brady B.S. the shooting sports were denied acess to what was rightfully extended to them by the constitution again: hi cap mags, among other things and the instant back round check one gun a month etc.

the thing is that they are going to keep chipping away ,they can't take it all at once or there would be anarchy, and the anarchist prime target is POLITICIANS! the anti's know and fear this . so they are going to continue until they get the results they want NO FIREARMS .

i remember a speach by Sir Winston Churchill talking to his people in London at the time of the Blitz 1941 1942. NEVER GIVE UP was his war cry
 
OK there are roughly 12,763,371 that 65% of the people own guns that is 8,296,191 now figure you are like me and have 5 boxes of 550 22lr ammo. aprox 500 rounds of pistol ammo 300 rounds of rifle ammo and 300 rounds of shotgun ammo. that is a total of that is 3850 rounds of ammo. Now take that and do the math. That is aprox 31,940,335,350 yes people that is 32 BILLION rounds of ammo. HUH what in the world are they going to do with that?

One box of 2 3/4" 12 ga shells is 4x4x2.5 Now just for shotgun shells that is 99,554,292 boxes of shells. Each box is 40ci that is 3,982,171,680 now convert ci to cf 2,304,498. You are going to need more than 3 million cubic feet to store just the shotgun shells these are all roughly estimated numbers.
 
cpttango30,

That was kind of the point I was getting at. If a state had to PAY retail prices to citizens for ammo under a bill like this... they would think twice. We are talking 3 or 4 (or more ) BILLION dollars.
 
What ammo??? I have no ammo, do you have ammo???

No one can prove I reload, unless...the government moniters this website and sees my posts on this forum.:scrutiny: Crap, I'm screwed arent I??:uhoh:
 
just move to Texas, if we had nothing here but people who like the shooting sports, then people like obama or chelsea's mama would never come here and we would not have to worry about stupid laws and stuff that infringe on our rights.
 
Chicken Little still lives! (You remember, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!)

What a bunch of BS.
 
Slightly OT

Don't fool yourself, it can happen even here in the USA. It has already happened in Australia and England. Both governments passed laws prohibiting guns so law abiding citizens were required to turn in their guns which were DESTROYED! They were cut apart melted and all of this was done without compensation to the owner. I just read an article the Feb. 2008 issue of Rifleman about it. The gun writers from both countries told the Rifleman's writer it was all made possible because the government required Gun Registration. They knew where all the guns were so you couldn't hide.

It can happen anywhere my fellow shooters. That's why we must support organizations like the NRA who fight for our rights and watch the anti-gun folks for us. So, next time you get a email from the NRA asking you to write and call your Congressman and Senator about not voting for a Bill which will infringe upon our 2nd Amendment rights, DO IT!!!
 
Oh, yeah, that will work great to stop crime....every criminal buys their ammo retail and leaves the casings at the crime scene. :rolleyes:

With a few thousand cases, a bullet mold, and a wheelgun that can stand up to black powder, they can never take away your ammo.
 
Sorry but not going to give up my ammo....no going to register any of my guns....and WONT be giving them up....it will be red dawn time.
 
In California you did not turn in your "assault" rifles. They had to be registered by a certain date and if not they became unregistered and, therefore, illegal. There was not a rounding up of weapons.
