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 SB16’s 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 Munoz’s 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, Daley’s Gun Grabbers were allowed to testify. So, it is important that you call Sen. Garrett’s 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 Garrett’s 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

This was the message I saw on isra.org(Illinois State Rifle Association), though I am not 18 and I don't have a FOID Card to purchase a rifle (required only in the land of loonies) I had hoped to buy a rifle this coming May, but if I and others don't take action who knows what could happen? I have been %100 Pro-gun since I was ten years old, my Dad and I went out to Maryland to see my Uncle and it was there I had my first encounter with guns. The first gun I shot was a handgun and ever since then I have always prided my Southern heritage (on my mom's side of the family for the most part, my Dad grew up in Brookfield) and not being brainwashed by the social-liberal theism (my parents started homeschooling me before I entered sixth grade!) Most of my grade-school friends grew up with the "guilty" feeling of being American, with the exception of my friend Drew who joined the U.S Marines last year (he also shook hands with Bush before getting electing to President.) The gun rights battle here in Illinois is now heating up, the proposal to ban self-loading rifles/shotguns (including pump shotguns!) was passed by the Illinois Senate committee and it is now going to be voted on, the bill that would allow citizens to conceal and carry a handgun passed within the senate committee with tons of people backing it, it all hangs in the balance and the wheat will be separated from the chaff (or politicians for guns or against them!) I was busy contacting the NRA, and state senators at five in the morning today, so I am probably the only teenager in Illinois that (quote from General Patton) "gives a damn about the situation" (gun rights in my state.) Gun control is the wrapping paper that covers the Governments hunger to disarm citizens, they have tried (the city of Chicago and some of my liberal friends+my socialist brother) to convince me the registering,restricting and banning "assault weapons" lowers crime and I have time and again disproved their myths and told them to get a pyshicological exam. Only Hitler and Stalin endorsed gun control, and look what it did to their people! Gun registration leads to confiscation (it rhymes!) restricting leads to banning and eventually the citizens get disarmed by sweet-talking hypocrites like Adolph Pelosi and let's not forget the Chicaestro Aldermen and Mayor Daily-double-sided. The terrorists would smile if they saw how many gun-control laws we had (they may have already), I would not be surprised if they invaded Californicator this summer! People need to be aware that if the second amendment goes down, your rights and freedoms go down with it! Americans have got to support the 2nd Amendment or they will lose their rights and freedoms!
