This is yet another assault by the Democrats on the rights of tax payers to own firearms.

Stay the course.  Stay informed.   Stay vigilant.  Be an active participant in the defense of our rights as tax payers and law abiding firearm owners.

This bill would put most gun dealers in IL out of business.  I'm hoping that it is just too caustic to get good traction.  Every gun dealer in the state should be ringing the phones in Springfield.  Right now, the best thing the bill has going for it is that most people don't know just how bad it is.

Get Active!

FFS how about a link!
