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.
Actually, the best response is to simply not be there. Perhaps leavea token of your esteem behind as a 'greeting'. It's better to take to the field and hunt down the ones who sent them. As long as filth like Daley do this sort of thing without meaningful consequence, well - look at where you stand now.
Nah! That's old technology.
Microchips. Foreheads or hands will do.
BTW if Jim Ryan had took on his brother George whenhe had a chance, he would be sitting in the governor's office figuring how to tax us more and steal our weapons.
Blank the State Republician branch of the Daley machine.
Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?
Alarmed about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos the government allows to run loose?
Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated right?
While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.
