SB1331 would expand the definition of a "public nuisance" to include gun dealers who do not take "reasonable precautions" to ensure that purchasers do not use their weapons illegally.

I love this - does the measure define what these "reasonable precautions" might be? Because if it is left to the courts to decide this as usual, then what we have here is an open invitation for nuisance lawsuits over an undefined requirement. This is legal harrassment, nothing more.

Todd Vandermyde, a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, accused the city of driving gun-manufacturing jobs out of the state.

Time to send some envoys to Springfield to invite them to a more friendly state. These laws smell of Kalifornia. The one handgun every 30 days in particular. The product liability BS against retailers and manufacturers has been repeatedly tossed out of court.

I don't think so, but even then it wouldn't help. These type of gun control laws are "strawman laws". Since the legislators lack the political courage to simply declare handguns banned, they pass laws that drive out lawful retail gun dealers. If there are no gun dealers in IL, then guns will be, de facto, banned.

The Bill of Rights will still be printed with the Second Amendment included with the other ten amendments, but you won't have an arm to keep or bear. That's the strategy.

"You sell a gun to a criminal Daley/Blago Democrat - you're liable. That's what the bill's about," he said.

Large billboards should be placed at the border roads of the state of Illinois reading, "Disarmed for your convenience".

Did anyone catch the slam on U.S. Senate Rats?

When it was his turn, Sen. Bradley Burzynski, R-Claire, said,
"I'm very hopeful that - should this bill be called for a final vote on the Senate floor - that we don't have a timer that's on, that we don't restrict debate."

ROFLMAO. I love it when Rats are caught in their own party's lies.

They passed out of committee last Wednesday, I believe they failed on the full floor on Friday. They did pass a gun show loophole bill but they Republicans got an amendment to say no city other than Chicago can have more restrictive laws than the State of Illinois.
