HB5855 is a bill that heavily infringes on the right to arms protected by the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. Ironically, it is titled the “Protect Illinois Communities Act”.
The bill has been introduced into the Illinois House of Representatives by Representative Bob Morgan, (D) of the 58th District in Springfield, Illinois. Representative Morgan is a prolific introducer of bills. In 2022, he introduced 38 bills, none of which has moved beyond the introduction phase and passed to the House of Representatives. He introduced 36 bills in 2021, but again none of them passed the House. HB5855 was up for a committee hearing yesterday, December 12th at 11 a.m. While Morgan introduces lots of bills without success, this bill is being pushed in the media, which gives it a somewhat better chance.
Here is a brief summation of what the bill would put into law. From the bill:
Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Eliminates provisions that permit a person under 21 years of age who is not an active duty member of the United States Armed Forces or the Illinois National Guard to obtain a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card with parental consent. Amends the Wildlife Code. Provides that when a person under 21 years of age is hunting under the supervision of a adult, the adult must possess a Firearm Owners Identification Card. Amends the Firearms Restraining Order Act. Provides that the State’s Attorney of the county where the petition is filed may act as a friend of the court in any action filed under the Act. Provides that a petitioner may request a one-year (rather than 6-month) firearms restraining order. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012.

Bet he tried to pass a bill that 16 year olds should be able to vote too.
All Democrat and many Republican bills are named primarily to obfuscate their true purpose.
No bail, no guns. Illinois leads the U.S. in stupidity.
And just how many murders in Chicongo are committed with “A-s-s-ault” rifles?
If current Illinois gun laws fail to prevent murders then a new gun law will do nothing.

We were members many years ago when our kids were tweens
they all learned to shoot there.
I first met Todd at a townhall in the Third Dist at IIT
we were discussing the CCW before it was law
I remember a woman asking about the minimum age
when Todd said: why it would be 21 years old of course
she became upset saying that the kids that need to carry are 15
the Dads are long gone and it’s the older brothers
that are escorting their younger siblings to school
I’ll never forget it. Todd has been on the front lines
for a very long time God Bless’em!

They’re making incredible progress there now. 2 new buildings just this year with heat and flush toilets. They have a 600 yard range now and if the next property acquisition goes through we will have 1,000 yards by this time next year.
Mrs. L and I have pulled some really nice bass out of the ponds they put in. We love the place.
