What do you think will happen to the Bears player who was arrested with 6 guns and no FOID. A valet said that he saw a gun in his car last year which helped to lead to the arrest. I suspect that the man was CCWing illegally here in IL. Unless he is a cop or a city alderman and I dont believe he...

Pop Science: anti-gun and nanny-statish. Popular Mechanics: pro-gun and individualist

The republicans have taken us for granted for too long. I wonder where I could get some Judy Barr Topinka will outlaw your guns the same as Rod Blagojevich will signs made up. They'd be a big hit in yards down here. Jeff ?

Though I consider myself a libertarian, I would not vote for a Libertarian candidate. It would only help Blago, whose reelection would be the absolute worst possible outcome. Topinka may talk about "supporting" an AWB but she will not lift a finger, much less twist any arms, to help it pass.

Illinois members call your rep. Good chance of a vote soon. From isra.org: Report from Springfield - March 1 As expected Amendment #9 to HB2414 (Semi-auto ban) passed out of the Executive Committee 9-3. This this is no suprise since the Executive Committee is stacked with Daley &...

Thanks Jeff. I feel a lot better. This is the only place to get positive reinforcement.

I've got a very bad feeling about this. I think it will pass this time. I've always thought that the expiration of the federal AW ban was going to be a bad thing for me and any blue state residents who own and use firearms of a military appearance. One by one the blue states will pass their own...

They never tire of this video. They'll be showing this for another 20 years I'll bet.

When I called my commissioner I was told that the thing was still in committee and no vote was scheduled. Has anyone heard anything?

Not only are handgun bans possible, they are getting fairly common in northern Illinois. It is illegal to own or possess a handgun in the towns of Morton Grove, Evanston and Oak Park. In Chicago, all handguns must be registered and no new registrations will be accepted after March 1978.

In the 18th century,and much of the 19th cntury, the phrase "well regulated" meant performing as designed, predictable. The Oxford English Dictionary refers to the expression "a well-regulated appetite" . The phrase "well-regulated militia" in the Second Amendment, means refers to a citizenry...

Some of these ban bills are just posturing for the antis. They would, I think, have no chance in GA or LA. In Illinois however, I think a state AWB is very likely. This is why I have never been too enthusiastic about the federal ban's sunset. It just wakes up a sleeping dog. The federal AWB...

As has been mentioned, this will not affect Daley in the long run. Because there is no hope of removing him, his periodic scandals are actually a bad thing for Illinois gun owners. When Daley feels threatened he always launches an anti-gun campaign. It starts with photos of his police...

If you don't want to keep old gun magazines, spread 'em around. if your public library has a rack of free magazines put your old gun magazines there for others to enjoy. Of course, you may have to replace them as often as the library staff finds them and removes them.

I'm happy for Missouri, of course. Happy and envious. I know that I'll have to leave Illinois to live as a free man. I'll probably die as one of Daley's subjects and the idea makes me sad. I'm also angry at myself for not having the courage to leave.

I believe you meant to say "misunderestimated".

Well it's a good thing that it is planned for June because by August being caught with a black rifle (or almost any semi-auto)in Illinois will get you a class 3 felony conviction.

Call or write if you think it will do any good, just don't give 'em your real name. The names of those calling or writing to oppose the "assault weapons" ban may be turned over to the State Police. In the case of my own rep & senator, I would bet on it.

I've never bought a gun at a show but I saw one that I bought later. I like to look around and be among like-minded people for a change. It's an enjoyable way to spend an hour or two, I think.
