No surprsie there. NRA doesn't have a single endorsement in the first 40 legislative districts! |
Correct. By the strictest definition, a law based on and referenced from another expired law is meaningless. They would have to essentially replicate the text of the federal AWB in the state's bill. In fact, they'd HAVE to, as the next version of the USC will not even HAVE those sections listed as they're history. But let's not tell this Illinois rep. about that, OK?  CJ |
| We have been through this before. It isn't going to happen. HOWEVER....we must hammer them on the phones. Like we did in 02, we crashed the entire phone system is Springfield. Hey if their phone system can't handle the wrath the stir up, too bad. This truely is election year suicide. Madigan is an idiot, like Blago, they are one term lame ducks. Call your Senators and Reps. Call the Chicago gun grabbers and tell them we reject what they have to offer. |
