Illinois update

[04FXSTS]

It is not over, we just got word the gun haters led by the worst of the worst Mike Madican will be trying to ram through a New York style "May issue" style bill on Tuesday that also carves out Chicago and Cook county. Could also have gun and magazine bans.

URGENT ** URGENT ** 2/23/13 UPDATE - Illinois Politics - IllinoisCarry.com

This will give you more info. I hope all the other Illinois residents here will get on the phone and email between now and Tuesday. Tell them no bill unless it is NRA approved, that is HB997. Thanks for any help you can give. Jim.

Somehow I don't imagine Judge Posner will be amused by this sophomoric effort to piggyback an AWB into the CC law. I look forward to reading his commentary on the next round.

And see how big a check Illinois and Chicago write to the NRA and SAF this time.

Good thing Illinois had deep pockets with so much stupid in government.

It's almost like trying to get an unruly little kid that's throwing a tantrum to do something like brushing their teeth or eating their vegetables.

They'll do anything to try and avoid drafting proper CC legislation as was instructed by the courts.

Look! Out the window, a UFO!

Oh, they"ll just take it from the Pension Fund or from the Campaign Fund.

Whatever it takes. When everything's over but the shouting, the Illinois Democrat Party will be a bled dry husk of its former self, and maybe take much of the New York Democrat Party with it.

I must disagree; campaign fund money is too valuable for this. This money is spent on Rolex watches, fur capes and bruce Lee and Michael Jackson memorabolia. Just ask Jessie Jackson Jr. and his wife our most recent Illinois politions headed to jail. Jim.
