Illinois: Anti-gun Bills to be Voted on Soon!
The Illinois House of Representatives will vote this Tuesday, April 26, on two bills that seek to ban firearms. The first, HB 1098, introduced by Representative Elaine Nekritz (D-57), seeks to ban all .50 caliber rifles and ammunition. The second, HB 2414, introduced by Representative Edward Acevedo (D-2), seeks to ban certain semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, as well as .50 caliber rifles. These bills will do nothing to address the problem of violent crime, and would serve only as another attack on our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Proponents of this legislation have even stooped to exploit our nation's concerns over terrorism in order to advance their anti-gun agenda. Please call your State Representative and urge him/her to oppose HB 1098 and HB 2414. Tell your legislator that attacking the Second Amendment will do nothing to stop violent criminals or the threat of terrorism.
