Cho reloaded. Magazine capacity limitations accomplish nothing. Maybe these companies should bite the bullet and leave.

Illinois Senate Bill 1007 has passed to the House Executive Committee.

If you're an Illinois resident, ring dem phones off de hook! Now is the time to call.

I feel sorry for the homeowners and citizens of Genesco. They are going to see their property values go down the tubes and may end up losing their jobs. For what? So some liberal in Chicago can feel good about curbing gun violence.

They can all move to Idaho. They would find the state much more accomodating than “Ill”.

I most certainly would.

Ten round mag = civilian .45 ACP Mark 23 (military/SEAL Mk. 23 has 12 rounds)

Maybe the H&K USP .45? Or the Compact?

Springfield is long overdue to move out of that God-forsaken place or just shut down.

Tell the US government “we can’t make guns in a state anymore, and we can’t supply you” and yank it.

No matter what the Libs say, this is not about, less damage, less crime etc. What it is really about is to move the gun manufactures out of state. Come to NH, we need a more gun manufactures.

Can’t we give CA to Mexico, and Il, and NY to Canada? It would solve SO many problems.

The law IS NOT going to "curb gun violence".

It's nothing but a "Feel Good" symbolic law....

Chicago, please. Chicago is where this is coming from.

For the gun rights issue, the split is Chicago and a few other pestholes vs. everyone else, not D. vs. R.

Cerburus just purchased Remington Arms.Same group that recently purchased Chrysler.Remington built his business in Ilion,NY.It is located in the Mohawk Valley in a very nice part of NY.Sears,Remington Rand,Chicago Pneumatic,and numerous companies used to be located there.The most recent business closures are Union Fork and Hoe,and LaSalle industries.Roughly 1000 jobs were gone between the two recent closures.All of the companies bailed out,many leaving one by one due to the outrageous restrictions placed on them by NY State.The only business holding the area together was Remington Arms.Used to be three shifts per day,down to two,and I think they are down to one shift.All the Dems are out trying to keep the last good company there.I believe much of Remington moved to Kentucky where they are appreciated much more.I find it ironic that a state with such severe restrictions on gun ownership etc.,is trying so hard to keep it there.No company in their right mind would even consider locating in that state.

I guess I did not make myself clear. I was speaking from the gun grabbing legislator’s viewpoint. The gun grabber feels that he has done something to curb gun violence when all he has done is drove business away from his state. At least he feels good about what he did though...

Next legislation would be to limit the number of magazines people can own. The “antis” know the only way to achieve their ultimate objective of nullifying the Second Amendment is to pick away at it, piece by piece.

Instead of being happy with a single 12 or 13 round magazine a criminal will now just get 2 ten round mags, for a total of 20 rounds. How does this make anyone safer?

Yeah, exactly. Next time some thug points a gun at someone, the victim can take comfort in the fact that the politicians have limited the magazine to only ten rounds.
