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.

The goobermint that seeks to treat constitutionaly law bidding citizens as such is due an eye opening education .

We're well on our way my friend, as we've done nothing but devolve as time goes on. We keep chipping away at basic human rights (never mind constitutional rights or even civil rights) but we rarely or never restore anything.

I suppose that one could theorize that there will be some sort of "renaissance" where the powers that be will cede the powers they've taking for themselves and return them to the people. Sadly however, logic and history dictate that that ain't happenin'.

Most of us don't understand trouble making power mongers, because we don't happen to think that way, but suffice to know that they do exist, and they're plentiful.

Historically, the freedom grabbers have never stopped unless they were forced to. Someone prove me wrong so I can lighten up.

I totally agree with your sentiments on this and were I living in Illinois I think the very proposal might mean going to the last box. needless to say I would not cooperate and I think any police officer who does cooperate gives up his right to be called a law enforcement officer.

Historically, the freedom grabbers have never stopped unless they were forced to.

It's been called "the ratchet effect." Handcuffs only get tighter.

[Squantos]

Agree.......seems criminal that some of these folks who pretend to be LEO's even take a constitutional oath. Keep a list, support your original constitutional freedoms (ALL OF EM).....these POS grabbers move from state to state, job to job and sooner or later folks who think this is a Illnois problem will see it flourish in their own back yard.

That frog is really loving the warm water about now........

Stay Safe !!

If you own something like the below you are on Daley's to exterminate list:

[TheRightGuy]

Ahem, Ryan is just as anti-gun as Blago

JRyan may not be fully on board on RKBA issues, but do you honestly believe he'd back this asinine measure of Daley's like bag-o-sh!t is.

[TheRightGuy]

I suppose I'll be out of luck with somethign like this, too!

[river rat]

This is perfectly understandable behavior by Leftists/Marxists/Liberals in Government...

They FEAR an armed society -- it prevents them from achieving their tyrannical ultimate goal.....which is exactly why the founders went to great effort to implement the 2nd Amendment.

All leftists need to be driven from office to preserve the Republic..

The stupid bastards would be smarter to leave this sleeping dog alone on the porch....

Semper Fi

I just don't see them coming to their senses until they have pushed the nation into violent reaction, and then they will misread it and attempt to crush the resistance by ever more brutal methods, leading to a downward spiral.

Sort of like my book.

[Dick Bachert]

Thank you. Guess we'd better rub their noses in it while it's still not an unlawful activity.

[Centurion2000]

These commie traitor bastards are pushing too far. They have no idea what hell is going to blow back.

A-freakin-men bud.

[glock rocks]

these vermin are below contempt, and that is exactly the reaction they deserve, every step of the way.

gun owners reactions, so far, only go to prove that they are peaceful, law abiding and responsible. it hasn't been, and will not be enough to counter the marxist's ever bolder attacks on liberty.

sadly, unless this is met head on, now, the gun owners of illinois will be forced to turn in their guns and slink back to their gulags as did the kalifornians, the new yorkers before them, D.C. ... the picture ain't pretty. this will be coming to a state near you, stay tuned.

if you're from illinois, and are upset with what i'm saying here, well, i'll pray for ya...

[Travis McGee]

Pretty soon posting "Camp Gunfree" may be a hate crime.

[Travis McGee]

The commies can't risk taking off their masks to reveal Lenin beneath until they have national gun registration complete.

They're almost there.

[Lurker]

I don't know if he'd back it, but if it made it to his desk he'd sign it.

[Lurker]

If they pass this monstrosity, things will get really ugly really fast.
