Call anyway---'cause ISRA asked everyone to via mass e-mail alert. I don't think it's going anywhere today. Hey--just a phone call just in case.
I think this was a test of the ISRA alert system.

When I get back to town I will drop by the state senator's office.
(His secretary has told me that comments they get are 9 to 1 pro gun. The rest of Illinois is not like Chicago.)

I called my State Senator, Bill Peterson, and he confirmed he was against SB16. I knew he would be but thought it a good idea to let him know my position anyway.
Anyone know what `Referred to Rules` means?

"Rules" & "Public Health" are different committees that have a say over such proposals. Apparently the Public Health committee postponed anything to do with it(?) on 3/1; it was assigned to Rules committee 3/5, who assigned it back to Health 3/6(??).
Referral
The assignment of a legislative measure to a committee.
Rules committee
Federally the Rules Committee, rather than being responsible for a specific area of policy, as most other committees are, it is in charge of determining under what rule other bills will come to the floor -VERY important! A rule is a simple resolution of the {federal House of Representatives}, usually reported by the Committee on Rules, to permit the immediate consideration of a legislative measure, notwithstanding the usual order of business, and to prescribe conditions for its debate and amendment

Well now that you can use a hand gun to hunt with what would you need a semi-auto rifle for?

Munoz added amdt #1 which is a verbatim dupe of the current bill in the IL House. He's a Chi boy--and a FOP member--his Bio says ex-82nd Airborne--shame on his oath betraying a$$!!! All-American he ain't.
