Illinois –  -(Ammoland.com)- Illinois Legislation that would require gun shops to get licenses issued by the state may come up for a vote this week in the Illinois House.

If passed, this legislation would make it nearly impossible for your favorite firearm retailer to stay in business.

Shops would be forced to deploy a long list of costly new business practices in order to maintain their licenses. It is estimated that these new requirements would add at least $100 to the cost of firearm purchased from a licensed retailer.

All the details of the bill, which is expected to be HB1016, have yet to be released.

However, this is a taste of what you should expect to see once it is released:

– You will be videotaped when you purchase a gun and that video tape will be provided to the police. Bottom line – you and your guns will be registered.

– Firearm retailers will be forced to install state of the art vaults and alarms at their shops. Very few retailers can afford $2 million security systems – so they’ll just have to go out of business.

– Firearm retailers would be required to fill out stacks of new forms and keep reams of paper records covering your firearm purchases. Minor recordkeeping mistakes will result in termination of licenses and shutting down of shops.

– The Chicago Police Department will have to right to inspect and audit any gun shop in the state at any time, without justification, for as long as they feel like staying. It’s hard to remain in business if you and your staff spend all day entertaining gun-grabbing Chicago Police Department hacks.

This is serious business, folks.

They can’t take care of the people in the state of Illinois now, so they want to close down a means of getting tax income. The liberals in Illinois are as bad as the ones in CA. Only problem is they can’t fall off into the sea in Illinois. An I used to live there. Glad I moved!!!
