Your Action Is Needed!
Charlotte, NC –-(Ammoland.com)- Today, Governor Quinn’s procedural maneuver to enact a gun ban (previously reported here) through use of an amendatory veto, was overridden in the Illinois Senate by a 49 to 4 vote.
Now, there is one remaining hurdle before victory can be declared since this veto is now going to the state House for an override vote.
We have learned that due to this loss, Quinn is now shopping around a new semi-auto ban for future introduction in the Illinois General Assembly. Your NRA-ILA will continue to monitor any activity in Springfield and will keep you informed of developments as they occur. It is critical that NRA members across Illinois continue to remind their state legislators of their responsibility to defend the Second Amendment now and in the future.
Your Action Is Needed! Now it is more important than ever for you to contact your state Representative to ensure that the Quinn gun ban is completely dead. The Illinois House of Representatives will be convening tomorrow for their veto session and will vote on the Governor’s proposed changes to Senate Bill 681. Contact your state Representative TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to vote to override the Governor’s amendatory veto on Senate Bill 681!

I was laid off in June, so I've decided to search for a job in a more liberty-friendly state. I only came to Illinois for work from Florida, and now that is no longer a problem, I can sell my house and get out of here. I've had about enough of Gov. Quinnochio and the Chicago leftists. Shame is that a lot of IL is fairly normal. You'd just have to cut out Cook Country and push it out into the lake.
From Rep. Tom Cross:
The House convenes on Dec. 4 when it could be voted on…
