Attn Illinois citizens: Several anti gun bills headed for the House

[Davey Wavey]

Today several anti gun bills passed committee and are on there way to the House of Representatives.

A sweeping assault weapons ban, a requirement to report stolen firearms, and turning certain offenses from misdemeanors to felonies.

The assault weapons is particularly bad, perhaps the worst in the nation. All Glocks in existence become illegal.

Saddle up. You know what to do.

I thought this portion of HB1599 (second link) was humorous.

his person any pistol, revolver, stun gun or taser or
firearm or ballistic knife, when he is hooded, robed or
masked in such manner as to conceal his identity;

Ku Klux Klan, anyone?

In all seriousness, though, this thing probably DOES have racial undertones, meant to discriminate against people wearing "hoodies" (hooded sweatshirts). It essentially means you cannot be wearing a hoodie and possess a weapon at the same time, thus stripping gun rights primarily from a certain racial group. Effectively, it is intended to deny an entire subculture the right to self-defense.
