"The suspects were seen leaving the neighborhood on a red moped."

I would have liked to see them carrying 50 guns on a moped.

GOVERNOR QUINN TEAMS UP WITH MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL TO PROPOSE BILL TO TAX AND BAN YOUR GUNS

YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

As many of you know, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn today utilized his amendatory veto authority to hijack a pro-gun bill and convert it into a ban on so called assault weapons. Quinn claims that his bill would "...make Illinois a safer place."

Of course, lawful Illinois firearm owners know better. We know that Quinn's true aim is to obliterate private firearm ownership in the state. Closer analysis of Quinn's bill reveals a host of opportunities for Quinn and his buddy Emanuel to make life miserable for the state's lawful firearm owners.

Here is just a partial list of what this bill would do, if passed:

1. Ban the manufacture, possession or sale of nearly every semiautomatic rifle, pistol and shotgun you own.

2. Specifically ban Glock pistols since they share a common design with the Glock 18, a select fire handgun.

3. Require you to register every semiautomatic firearm and every magazine you own that exceeds 10 round capacity. The kicker is that, under Quinn's proposal, the State Police can charge you unlimited fees to register your guns. Thus if Quinn's bill passes, you could very well find yourself paying $100 or even $1,000 per firearm per year to comply with the law. Additionally, you could find yourself paying $50, $100 or even $500 per year for each "high capacity" magazine you own. Can't pay? Well then you would have to surrender your guns to the State Police for destruction.

This is just a taste of what you could expect from Quinn's gun ban. Twists and turns in the bill would certainly open up the doors to taxation, regulation, and outright bans on every civilian owned firearm in the state.

Oh, and one thing is for sure, you can forget about concealed carry if Quinn's gun ban passes.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO PROTECT YOUR GUN RIGHTS:

1. Call your State Senator ASAP and politely tell him or her that you are a law-abiding Illinois firearm owner and that you expect him or her to vote against Quinn's gun ban should it come up for a vote. If you do not know who your State Senator is, please follow this link:

Illinois Board of Elections District Official/Search:
http://www.elections.state.il.us/Dis...ByAddress.aspx

2. Pass this alert on to all your friends and family who own firearms. Tell them to make calls to the senate as well.

3. Post this alert to any and all Internet blogs or bulletin boards to which you belong.

HIT THIS POLL!!!

Me likey Rep. Pam Roth!

"Assault Weapons

On Tuesday of this week, Governor Quinn used his amendatory veto powers to change a bill designed to allow citizens to purchase ammunition online. This change included a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. It is important to understand that this amendatory veto does not mean this becomes law. The legislation has to come back to the legislature for approval.

The sponsor of the original legislation is not interested in an assault weapons ban amendment in becoming part of his bill.

I agree with the sponsor of the bill and do not support the amendatory veto. Clearly, this political ploy by our governor demonstrates his lack of support for citizens who legally own firearms under the 2nd Amendment. For those of us interested in conceal and carry, this move by the governor is less than appealing and, in my mind, a step backwards I simply cannot support."

1000%.

Great thread you have going on here Robert.

This liberal commie (Quinn) will NEVER get this even close to passing into law, but as you know we CANNOT stand idle and have to be as aggressive in protecting our 2nd Amendment rights as the anti-gun liberal left.

I stopped at On Target in Crystal Lake this afternoon on the way up to my parent's house in WI. Not a very expansive gun selection in the store, but the range facilities look great.

Illinois lawmakers may allow individual counties to decide on concealed carry By Mike Flannery, FOX Chicago News Political Editor -

State Rep. LaShawn Ford, co-chair of a legislative task force on guns, is proposing a compromise on assault weapons and concealed carry.

If gun-rights groups accept a ban on so-called assault weapons, Ford said he and some other Cook County Democrats would support allowing each county to decide for itself whether residents may carry loaded firearms.

There's a good reason.

"It's a tax revenue for the state. We're always looking for ways to generate revenues. It's definitely going to increase the number of people applying for permits," he said.

Up in Wisconsin, the state has been flooded with applications for permits since concealed carry became legal less than a year ago. So far, more than 100,000 people have applied.

But a spokesman said the Illinois State Rifle Association strongly opposes a assault weapons ban, including the one proposed by Gov. Quinn this week. In a series of lawsuits, several different gun rights groups have asked federal judges to allow Illinoisans to carry loaded firearms.
