Cullerton To Introduce Near Total Gun Ban On January 2nd 2013.
Illinois –-(Ammoland.com)- The ISRA has learned from a credible source that Illinois Senate President John Cullerton will introduce a so called “assault weapons” ban on Wednesday, January 2nd 2013, when the legislature returns for its “lame duck” session.
Cullerton hopes to ramrod the bill through and get it to Governor Quinn for signature by Friday. If he is successful at doing so, nearly every gun you currently own will be banned and will be subject to confiscation by the Illinois State Police.
Based on what we know about Cullerton’s bill, firearms that would be banned include all semiautomatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns. Pump action shotguns would be banned as well. This would be a very comprehensive ban that would include not only so-called “assault weapons” but also such classics as M1 Garands and 1911-based pistols.
There would be no exemptions and no grandfathering. You would have a very short window to turn in your guns to the State Police to avoid prosecution.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO SAVE YOUR GUNS.
1. Beginning Wednesday, call your State Senator and politely tell him or her that you are a law abiding firearm owner and that you strongly oppose Cullerton’s gun ban. Also, be sure to call your State Representative as well and politely deliver the same message. If you do not know who your State Representative please call the Illinois State Board of Elections at 217-782-4141.
2. Forward this alert to all your gun owning friends and family members. Be sure to tell them to call their senators and representatives as well.
3. Post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards and blogs to which you belong.
4. Join or renew your membership in the ISRA. Encourage your friends and family to join as well.

Paul if you've ever handled nuclear materials or passed science class in the 9th grade you would know that without proper protective equipment you would die within about 5 minutes to an hour from being near the nuclear material. Most nuclear weapons whether EMPGD (ElectroMagnetic Pulse Generating Device) MIRV (Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicle) or Atom bomb use uranium and plutonium which realese alpha rays which are 20 times more powerful than gamma rays which com from ytterbium which is used in CAT ( Computed Assisted Tomography) machines. So to be strait forward you're an idiot. why do we need fast… Read more »
Hahahaha!! Troll, mole, commie, beyond reach…these are all names for people whose arguments you cannot address, as you yourselves demonstrate. Thanks for playing.
@Paul: Your last post uncovered you mole. No one in their right mind would want to own a nuke,but it drew you out commie. Mission accomplished.
hmm
Paul, you are beyond reach….And you clearly didn't read the bill (both of them)
The Eagle Has Died: I was wondering who here was stupid enough to try and make the case that ordinary citizens should be able to own nukes. You're the winner! If they weren't so gosh-darned expensive, people like you would love to have them. And what a wonderful world that would be! So safe and secure!! Bill Baker: Citizens owning nukes is "silly" for reasons you can't begin to explain, but citizens owning assault rifles (another tool made expressly for making war) is not silly, also for reasons you can't explain. Cheers for making my point for me. From now… Read more »
Paul when I was A kid in NYC,Carring a rifle on the subway was looked at the same as a trumpet. In High School I was on a shooting team.Even back then there was utter violence in the movies. Especially westerns and pirate. I met another Ret. Guy whoes 11yr old son har an AR-15, and goes hunting with his dad. Dam assaulting rabbits. Everyone speak up to BAN the BAN.
Paul is obviously a troll, should be site admin just ban him. It's obviously a bait tactic to make you look stupid arguing in favor of civilian nuclear weapons. Paul: No one is going to address that issue as you are an obvious liberal fool, and I will never read your responses or respond to you again. We need not argue to make you look silly, as the mere idea of nuclear weapons in civilian hands is silly in the first place. Why not Anti-matter bombs, or neutron bombs, or civilian bat-bombs like we developed in world war II (look… Read more »
@ Paul: Probably because its a silly and stupid comparison. If I could own a nuclear weapon why not? I don't because there are laws against it and I can't afford one. There are no laws against a semi auto m14 and I can afford one of those. So now the guberment wants to make laws against the m14 and make it to expensive to own one. You need to wake up son. The guberment is trying to disarm america and america will need all of her son's and daughters including you. Making silly arguments against people will only bring… Read more »
