URGENT GUN RIGHTS ALERT - IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
The Illinois Senate is about to debate a ban on semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.
If passed, you would have 90 days to register your guns with the State Police or face arrest and felony prosecution.
If you were caught with an AR-15 and 4 magazines, youd get life in prison.
THREE THINGS YOU MUST DO TO SAVE YOUR GUN RIGHTS
1. Beginning on Tuesday, March 6th, call your State Senator and POLITELY tell him or her that you are opposed to Senate Bill 16 the Daley Assault Weapons Ban and that you would like them to vote against Senate Bill 16 when it comes to the floor. If you do not know who your State Senator is, then visit the following web site: www.ilga.gov and then click on the Legislator Lookup link in the lower right hand corner of the home page. Follow the instructions at that link.
2. Pass this alert along to all your gun-owing friends; tell them to call their State Senators also.
3. Please post this alert to any and all Internet Bulleting Boards and Internet sites to which you belong.
IF YOU DO NOT ACT NOW, YOU MAY HAVE NO GUNS LEFT BY THE 4TH OF JULY

(Ha!)
You can also tell 'em face-to-face on IGOLD Day.

THE RIGHT TO OWN GUNS IS A CIVIL RIGHT, WITHOUT WHICH ALL OTHER CIVIL RIGHTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEND.

I'll settle for two.
We are about to find out what Barak Obama or John Edwards will bring us if one of them is elected President.
Correct you are. The Founding Fathers wisdom of the electoral college was brilliant. Even more so when you consider that a friends father(Chicago) who died in 1957 was put back on the rolls and voted in at least the last two Presidential elections and the son had his name removed in between. And they call that an election machine. Any Ill. gun owner ought to be damned concerned and fighting mad.
We ARE imploding. It's just a slow motion kind of thing.
Please don't tell the deer. If the fury (delicious) varmin find out, our corn fed Hoosier deer population will start migrating to Illinois where it will be safer.
And I would also like to offer my home, as a new home for your guns, to any of you Illinois gun owners. I am just next door. You can come visit them any time you want.
Just call ahead.
Our ancestors fought a revolution for less tyranny.
Yes. They did. We should to. But we won't. Amerikan Idle is on...
Bread and circuses.
Yep. That might change once they start loading people on to box cars, but then again... maybe not. After all, as far as your average sucker-mom or metrosexual male is concerned, it's all just more TV.
Fer cryin' out loud. You don't get life in prison for murder, or rape, or child molestation, but own the *wrong* kind of gun and look out.
You forgot to say that if you are a criminal, you are exempt from the gun laws. And, if you are an Illegal alien in Illinois, you are exempt from all laws (and you can still vote multipule times)
Where does the legislation say that? All I can see is:
SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED: New Act Creates the Assault Weapons Ban Act of 2007. Contains only a short title provision.
