CRUSHING ILLINOIS GUN CONTROL

Apr 15, 2002 | Lazamataz

Smith may try again and not be so wacko. He may try "reasonable" gun control next time.

Not in THAT city, it seems like. :o)

It looks like gun control is a Chicago-only phenomenon. Statewide it will not play. If it cannot even get ONE vote besides the sponser in a suburb only a few miles from Chicago, gun control in Illinois ain't going anywhere.

We may not make PROGRESS for a little while -- no CCW or State Premption -- but we will not LOSE ground!

Could someone please re-post that contact list again?

Sure.

Michigan Bump!

Great action, great report! You guys keep up the good work up there, and before you know it, you will take over Texas's reputation as the "gunslinger state"--LOL!

Good job!!

I think it looked unbiased. I didn't see the part where you referred to the council member who introduced the legislation as a @#*&%@##. Other than that it was good.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Excellent! I knew you had it in you! Thank you!

I do regret missing tonight's FReep, just so I could have met all of you. Darn it. The bad news is that no doubt there will be other opportunities to freep (wish I could say that wasn't the case). The good news is that our grassroots efforts DO have an effect.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

We don't care about the bias. In fact, we LIKE the bias - pro-gun bias, that is!!!! (grin)

Next time you FReep contact me or email me (Redwing9 has my email) and I'll be there.

whom I drive behind

Do what one pro-2a I know does....drive IN FRONT of the Million Moron....real slow.... :D

[stylin19a]

Don't forget Skokie....they started the whole mess here.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Yeah, I've been tempted to follow the Million Mom Morons until they stop and park some place and then paper over their bumper stickers with 2nd Amendment Sister bumper stickers....... but then I'd be resorting to their typical tactics and I just can't bring myself to stoop to that level (grinding my teeth in frustration here).

[Lazamataz]

I am new to Illinois. Inform me. What did Skokie do?

[F16Fighter]

Great job in America's Heartland...

Wonder if after the meeting Alderman Smith was met outside by a few dozen water pistols and 'Super Soakers'?

God Bless all you fantastic 'freepers'----thank you for letting the 'leftist' garbage in our nation know where free men and women stand---ww2 vet and proud gun owner

[Dan from Michigan]

GREAT WORK. This is the type of thing that MCRGO does best. Back courtrooms and govt meetings. I think I got an NRA email as well about this, so thanks NRA.

I need to bring this back from the dead now:)

I assume you are refering to the infamous Kalifornia potato gun ban and the posession of ammunition for same, ie: spuds.

Straight answer: they did it by manipulating the legal definition of the device. This is an old DemocRat trick not entirely limited to Kalibanfornia. Out here a dirk or dagger is "any object that can cause serious bodily injury or death" and a gun is loaded if there are "any cartrige cases in the immediate vicinity" (note that they needn't be live, loaded, assembled, or the correct caliber to fit the firearm, and the firearm need not be assembled. There are plenty more, enough to make everyone a criminal except state employees. Hope this helps.
