U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Last night, the House voted 64-43 to pass Senate Bill 2226 with House Amendments 1 and 3. This amended bill contains much of the language from House Bill 5855 banning commonly-owned firearms and magazines. It will now go to the Senate for concurrence. Only a few days remain in the lame duck session, so please contact your state senator and ask them to OPPOSE SB 2226.

Senate Bill 2226, as amended, bans many semi-automatic firearms that law-abiding citizens commonly own for self-defense, competition, and recreation, bans magazines that can hold more than 12 rounds of ammunition and “combination[s] of parts” from which one can be assembled, bans .50 BMG caliber firearms and ammunition, and expands the duration of the state’s “red flag” firearm restraining order by increasing it from 6 to 12 months. Citizens may only lawfully keep their banned firearms if they register them. They may only keep banned magazines if they permanently modify them to hold no more than 12 rounds.
In addition, SB 2226 expands the duration of the state’s “red flag” firearm restraining order by increasing it from 6 to 12 months.
Again, please contact your state senator and ask them to OPPOSE SB 2226.
About NRA-ILA:
Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the “lobbying” arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess, and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

No person, organization, or government entity has the lawful authority to ban or regulate firearms in common use by the public, nor the standard magazines that are made to function within them. An unconstitutional act such as this cannot become law, as it is repugnant to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. “An unconstitutional law is void and is as no law. An offense created by it is not crime. A conviction under it is not merely erroneous but isillegal and void and cannot be used as a legal cause of imprisonment.”
And the people of Illinois will pay for their state to defend this in court and ultimately the state will lose.
Gang bangers excluded again. Democrats only target legal gun owners.
All gun laws are unconstitutional. Until we approach “gun control” as not tolerated we will constantly have to defend our rights. The 2nd Amendment is clear and with no ambiguity. The 2nd defends all other rights, lose the 2nd, we will lose them all. We have laws against murder, just like we have immigration laws, they need to be enforced.
SHALL NOT INFRINGE. What does that statement really mean ? Apparently the definition I was given, is not right.
