URGENT ALERT ILLINOIS ONE STEP CLOSER TO GUN BAN
Freedom-loving Illinois citizens were dealt a serious blow today when Senate Bill 16 the Daley plan to ban and confiscate your semiautomatic rifles and shotguns passed out of the Senate Public Health Committee. The bill now goes to the full Senate for what promises to be a furious floor fight.
YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED IN THE BATTLE TO SAVE YOUR GUNS PLEASE DO EACH OF THE FOLLOWING THINGS:
1. Call Senate President Emil Jones office at (217) 782-2728 and tell the person that answers that you are a law-abiding gun owner and you do not appreciate Senator Jones treating you like a criminal. (Jones is the original sponsor of SB16).
2. Call your State Senator and POLITELY tell him or her that you oppose SB16 and you would like them to vote against SB16 when it reaches the senate floor. If you do not know who your senator is, then call (217) 782-2000 and ask the switchboard to connect you with your senator. Or go on the Internet to: www.ilga.gov and use the Legislator Lookup feature in the lower right hand corner to identify your senator and get their phone number.
3. Call State Senator Antonio Munoz, the sponsor of SB16s most recent amendment, at: (217) 782-9415 and tell the person who answers that you are a law-abiding gun owner and that you do not appreciate Senator Munoz treating you like a criminal. Then call Munozs district office at (773) 869-9050 and tell the person there the same thing.
4. In a tactic as bad as the Soviet Union, Committee Chairman Susan Garrett denied gun owners the opportunity to testify against SB16 in senate hearings on the bill today. In effect, YOUR VOICE WAS SILENCED by Sen. Garrett. Of course, Daleys Gun Grabbers were allowed to testify. So, it is important that you call Sen. Garretts office at (217) 782-3650, and remind the person who answers the phone that this is still the United States of America and that you are angry that Sen. Garrett denied your fellow citizens the right to be heard. Also, call Garretts district office at (847) 433-2002 and tell the person there the same thing.
5. Pass this alert along to all your gun owning friends. Tell them to make the same phone calls.
6. Post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards to which you belong.
7. If you are not a member of the ISRA, or you have gun owning friends who are not members of the ISRA, then go to www.isra.org and join today.
THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SAVE YOUR GUNS

The socialists march forward to disarm the law-abiding American public.

Just one final statement.
I've been sitting here getting more and more fed up with all of this talk about these, pieces of machinery, having no legitimate sporting purpose, no legitimate hunting purpose, people, that is not the point of the second amendment!
The second amendment is not about duck hunting, and I know I'm not going to make very many friends saying this, but it's about our right, all of our right to be able to protect our selves from all of you guys up there.
And nobody's talked about that.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.
Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.

Gun control laws increase the power of government and the criminal element over the average citizen and serve no other purpose.

Right now would be a good time to invest in real estate in Indiana, Kentuky, Iowa, Missouri or Wisconsin
So how long before we turn into a country like England via the movie 'V for Vendetta'?
Is that serious?
See my tagline for clarification.
How's this one;"Only criminals and tyrants fear an armed, honest citizenry. Which one are you?"
I made it up a few years ago.
Here is a few more!
America is at that awkward stage.
It is too late to work within the system,
but too early to shoot the bastards.
