good postNo kidding, we would probably still have Obama care and be engaging in military action with Syria. Oh wait…

it is amazing to think that gun owners have to fight a never ending fight to keep a right stated in the bill of rights. does that happen with the right to free speech? I guess you forgot about the rampant vote fraud in big cities. one big city can dictate laws to the rest of the state. To me the NRA thrives on people introducing anti gun bills it drives up money for them. and money is all any one cares about regardless of speeches they make
Spoiler alert: The HPA will not pass.
I'd encourage all Illinois members to go to the NRA-ILA "Take Action" site and sign up, they make it easy to contact your legislators for/against good/bad Bills. You don't even have to be an NRA member as far as I can tell. Go to the State drop down box and choose Illinois. I looked at it, y'all have got a lot of work to do!
There's been no activity on the bill for months. Another flash in the pan; about the only thing we can say is the bill actually got introduced this year.It's unfortunate but true. They are increasing their sponsors though... still means nothing.

"No longer will federal agencies be coming after law-abiding gun owners. No longer will the government be trying to undermine your rights and freedoms as Americans," Trump said during his speech to the National Rifle Association in Atlanta.
Nice rhetoric. What has actually changed?
Well, since Justice Gorsuch's attitude towards the Second Amendment, to the extent revealed during his confirmation hearings, was about the same as Justice Scalia whom he replaced, what effect will his appointment have on the court overall and with respect to its approach to the Second Amendment, in particular?
I'll wait to see if anything actually gets done.
The real problem is states that want to regulate your ability to purchase and own. Haven't seen the NRA spending any money to combat the likes of Bloomberg and the big spenders that dump millions to get state bills and initiatives passed. The NRA is MIA on that front.
I still pay my dues but all I get is more gun control coming at the state level. Someone needs to clue Trump and the NRA in about where the regulation is actually coming from.
I know one thing for sure, their advertising is rife with scare tactics.
Really? I'm sad to hear that. They seem the same as pretty much any other org. that needs to do fund-raising to move forward in their goals. I dont see them as any more or less intrusive.Many gun owners don't like the NRA because they ask for money BUT they never say anything when they get an e-mail everyday from their political party demanding $$$$$
Yes, while there were so called republicans in Congress and elsewhere trying to shoot Trump down the whole way.That's simply not true. A prime example was stepping away from the pack and strongly supporting Trump. The NRA really put its back into it and we're just now seeing the payback.
There is a hard run now against free speech. If they can shut down the "fake" news websites etc, they can remove Trump, and any effective dissent would be quashed. They are not going to try and impeach him because that would mean a public showdown of facts which would work against them. They will try to overturn the election itself claiming this absurd "Russian interference" thing. They could use that to unseat Republican Congressman etc as well. There would be no debate, and a gutted Fox News, CNN etc would feed the public what they want.In recent years, the answer is yes, it does happen with free speech. Search Google for net neutrality.
