Why would The ISRA support this?

We challenged their "lobbyists" when they were seeking support. We listed the major issues and they just blew us off. We (IllinoisCarry) pushed back and at one point, the Sponsor of the bill agreed to meet with us to address our issues but like all things Democrat, they lied and tried to just run the clock out.
The ISRA want to be at the table with the anti-gunners to help write the bills and for their own relevance. Their claim was that if we didn't pass this really bad bill, we might get a really really bad bill. Our position is that we are getting really really bad bills anyhow. After this one is passed, do you think the anti-gunners will stop?
The ISRA has extremely poor leadership and a rubber stamp board. We hate this as we need a good state organization but
this ISRA isn't it.
