Thanks for sharing this with us!
As far as I can tell, not being an American, the 2nd Ammendment does not impinge a states right to limit arms amongst the population, only the federal govenrment...
Roll on change!

If any of you have friends in Illinois you need to send them this. It even affects muzzleloaders. Of course the criminals will all now leave DC and go to Illinois where they will be safe.

Gun owners did not vote and this is what they got for sitting on their
KISTERS! Compassion for them?
They slit their own throats putting this socialist-democrat into the
governorship and his minions into the legislature! This is the result
of individuals who fail to uphold the CONSTITUTION and abridge their
responsibilities to protect their rights. Let this be a warning to
all........you reap what you sow and when you sow bramble that is what
you get!

Illinois Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich wants Illinois to
become the first gun free state in the Union/Republic. He is
using SB 1195 to achieve this lofty goal.

PREAMBLE OF SB 1195:
"(720 ILCS 5/24-1.7 new)
Sec. 24-1.7. (a) The General Assembly finds .that the use of
these weapons, devices, or attachments for sport or recreation is
substantially outweighed by the danger these weapons or devices
present to human life, and that restrictions should therefore be
placed on the manufacture, delivery, and possession of these
weapons, devices, and attachments."
ATTENTION HUNTERS: SB 1195 bans any semi-automatic firearm with a
bore diameter of .50 caliber and larger, and a magazine capacity
over 5 rounds. This includes many 10, 12, 16, 20 and 28 gauge
semi-automatic shotguns.
SB 1195: Outlaws the manufacture, possession, sale and transfer
of AR-15s, M1As, FALs, plus lower and upper receivers, magazines
and magazine parts capable of holding more than 10 rounds,
including black powder hunting rifles with a bore diameter
greater the .50 caliber.
Under SB 1195: Individuals must surrender their firearms to the
State or local police within 90 days of enactment, remove it from
the state or destroy the firearm.
This means Illinois based companies: Armalite, Les Baer, Rock
River Arms, Springfield Armory, DS Arms, and others will be
unable to continue to employ their workers and prohibited from
manufacturing these firearms for individuals or to fulfill
current contracts with the U.S. military. Millions of dollars of
state income tax revenue, corporate taxes and sales taxes will be
lost forever in Illinois, at the same time that the state is
facing a $5 billion dollar budget deficit.
Non-Compliance with any part of SB 1195 will cause you to be
charged with a FELONY.
Call your Senator and tell him NO on SB 1195!
