ISRA: Daley Proposal to Extend Sex Offender Registration Rules to Gun Owners Enjoys Support of Gov. Blagojevich

CHICAGO, March 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):
The ISRA is calling upon state lawmakers to reject a plan to register Illinois gun owners in the same manner that sex offenders are cataloged. The proposal is part of a sweeping, statewide gun control program introduced by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley in mid-February. Governor Blagojevich has gone on record supporting the Daley gun control package -- including the gun owner registration scheme.
The gun owner registration requirements are contained in Senate Bill 1320, which was introduced this session by Daley ally Sen. Iris Martinez. The provisions of SB1320 mimic sex offender registration programs in that gun owners would be required to report to their local police stations on an annual basis for questioning regarding their firearms ownership. At that time, gun owners would also be required to sit for mug shots and be fingerprinted. If all goes well, and after the payment of a $25 fee, the applicant would be granted a one-year extension of his or her right to own firearms.
"Firearm owners from across the state are expressing their outrage over the proposed registration requirements," reported ISRA president Richard Pearson. "Daley's decision to lump hunters and sportsmen in with sex offenders shows the utter contempt he has for the state's 1.5 million law-abiding firearm owners. When SB1320 comes to a vote, we'll learn just who in the General Assembly shares Mayor Daley's views."
Since 1903, the ISRA has been the state's leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership.
Stay Safe !

Nope ... my father's out there in Cali, and he drools when he comes to visit since about half my toys are illegal in that state

Stay Safe Bert
I am okay on the yarmulkes, but no shawls.
Cohorts of the Pearly Colt(Patton-Samuel)?
in camo?
Was not comparing him to king george, was comparing him to bag-o-sh!t. BTW, i notice this proposal was never put forth by daley while ryan was guv -- if daley had thought it would have worked then, he'd a done it.
There was no offense taken. I realize that being self-educated is a lot like being self-medicated. Sometimes you get insights the "professionals" who normally control the public "dosage" overlook for various reasons,and sometimes you are just delusional.
Ironic,ain't it? There is no other one group of people in the entire country more law-abiding than gun owners. Period!
I have just founded a new religion that worships guns, if people have the freedom to handle snakes, take peyote and dance nude on midsummers eve, then I can fondle my weapons.
Why not include all three in the new religion. Being related to some of the snake-handlers,I can assure you the radical fundie Muslims have NO idea the beast they are awakening when they fool with these people. You ain't seen mean and fearless until you've seen these people fired-up. Like a drunken Indian (my relatives on the OTHER side of the family),they will charge hell with a bucket full of water once they get drunk or you piss them off. The Muslims don't have a chance against these people. If Satan were real,even HE would be afraid of them when they get fire in their eyes.Hell,even the rattlesnakes are afraid to bite them!
Now all I need is a name for it.
I don't care what you name them,just don't let Bush or anybody in his family in the door. As a matter of fact,make a religious law where all career politicians and their families are barred from attending your church. If you truly believe in a God you must also believe in a Satan,and there is no need to allow Satan to sit next to you while you are at your services.
We all know what a BS degree is, what BS stands for. I was taught a long time ago by my father that if I would always remember that ...
BS Stands for Bravo Sierra
MS stands fore More of the Same, and
Phd stands for Piled Higher and Deeper.
... well, he told me if I remembered that, that I would do OK in my higher education. In fact, said he, only those who keep that in mind are truly capable of applying those designations properly when they receive them. I have learned in the intervening 30 years that he was spot on.
BTW, at the time, he had his MS and was working on his own Phd. LOL!
Best regards.
PS - Jack ordered 200 books.
Stay Safe !!
Otherwise maybe a surplus store? :>)
Stay Safe !!
Actually, theres an interesting story behind them. A Jewish Chaplain was at the barracks in Beirut when it was bombed in 83. He used his kippa (yarmulke) to stem a Marines bleeding. A Catholic Chaplain observed this, and cut the Rabbi a new one from his own camo uniform. The story is said to have made the rounds and led to legislation allowing the wearing of religious items while in uniform, and later kosher (halal too) MREs.
If I can find a link Ill post it.
