This is a lame duck session, being conducted by folkd who will be out of a job on the 10th.

This is a parting shot from those whose political career is not at risk.

Don't forget Biden and his bunch are hard at work in the dark.

It is a new day and they are coming out swinging lile never before-means they have got lots of momentum they never had before,

You can talk all the history and philosophy yoy wish, but a new day is here and it don't look bright.

I don't believe this is anywhere near the end of things they intend for the future.

We'll see.

It was cancelled for the rest of the lame duck session.

They have had a similar bill in waiting for a long time, but cannot get enough momentum.
They sure came close this time.
There are lots of us downstate and the rest of the stae, actually, bu a couple population centers control everything,

They have not given up and the feds are next up.
They are also pretty quiet on crafting the the pending CCW imple,emtation.

Some fear it will be restrictive like NY.
I admit it will be a bit strange being amongst a bunch of suddenly armed folks who have no history or practice being armed.

.

Even those pro-gun lobbyist are staying quiet. For sure, all the anti-gunner Illinois politicians will try to make it as hard and as expensive as possible and use all that has happened lately with guns as an excuse. Watch and wait is the norm..........

UPDATE: There were two Bills that came out of committee and has moved to the state Congress.

The first proposal would ban the possession, delivery, sale and transfer of semiautomatic handguns and rifles. Gun groups say this kind of restriction would be so expansive as to affect most gun owners in the state.

A second bill, introduced by Democratic state Sen. Dan Kotowski, would limit ammunition magazines to 10 or fewer rounds.

The two pieces of legislation are being supported by a majority of state Democratic lawmakers as well as Quinn and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Emanuel, the mayor of one of the most gun-controlled cities in the country, praised the committee passage and says even stronger regulations are required to protect communities. He added that there is a need "for common-sense laws that provide the residents of our cities with the safety they deserve."

A shining example is Chicago that had over 500 homocides in 2012.
I can't see either Bills passing, just too many gun owners in Illinois, around 1.5 million and that's the "registered" gun owners.

UPDATE: Both Bills were tabled due to not enough votes to pass. Speculation is, the Bills will be re-introduced after the new legislation is sworn in later this month and might have a better chance of passing. Alot of pressure is being put on legislators by gun owners, especially pistols owners.

At 5PM today the Illinois House comes to order. One of the Bills will require all automatic pistol owners to register each pistol with a cost of 10-15 dollars per pistol and pistols and they can not be inherited. We will see.

Vote in the Illinois House was canceled............
