“It is clear that we must crack down on deadly, military-style assault rifles, which is why I voted to pass Senate Bill 1657, which holds gun dealers accountable by ensuring dangerous criminals and those with a history of mental illness or domestic violence cannot get their hands on a weapon,” Illinois State Representative Fred Crespo claimed in a letter to constituents. “I also support House Bill 1469, which would prohibit the sale and possession of high capacity magazines which turn regular firearms into fully automatic weapons” [emphasis in original].

First, gun dealers in Illinois don’t sell anything without controls mandated by the feds and the state, and “prohibited persons” are called that for a reason. If citizen disarmament edicts really meant such people “cannot get their hands on a weapon,” we’d expect to see results vastly different from reality, not that the political trough-feeders don’t use still unacceptable reductions as an excuse to brag about what a bang-up job they’re doing.

Second, really? Magazines can convert a gun to full-auto? This is one of the guys responsible for crafting “commonsense gun laws”?

Face palm. And will he be back next term? Most likely. Fidiot.

These grabbers are somewhat like the health nuts out there who hike, jog, are vegetarians, vitamin gulpers, etc. One day they’ll reach end of life and wonder what they are dying from.

Grabbers will get mugged, burgled, and shot by one of the thugs who don’t follow the laws anyway, and there will be no one around to protect them.

Like enviro wankers that equate a high tide with glow bull discombobulation.

Does Magpul make those? I want a couple.

Common sense gun control to a Democrat: Ban all rifles except single shot rifles and double barrel shot guns. Ban all pistols except revolvers 38 cal or smaller. These will be banned at a later date.

Its never been about gun control. Its always been about people control. Unarmed people are easier to dispose of if they disagree with the government’s agenda.

***“It is clear that we must crack down on deadly, military-style assault rifles,****

I remember when they ONLY wanted to ban small foreign pistols AND 5 shot army surplus bolt action rifles.
They got their ban then went on to other things.

Interesting, 5 shot bolt action rifles were now illegal to import, but 5 shot bolt action Police Rifles were still legal to import, even though they came off the same assembly line.

Speaking of Democrat gun banners who are as dumb as rocks:

CO Dem Doesn't Understand High-Capacity Magazines Can Be Reloaded

Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO): "I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available."

You wonder if these clowns can even use a flush toilet, without assistance from 6 or 7 staffers...
