I have one question for all of your 2 that visit here.
There are laws to prevent the shooting of innocent people, there are laws to prevent robbery, there are laws to prevent battery,
Take a close look at the Illinois legislature these days, and you’ll find the reason why several promising gun control bills have been defeated in the House this month.
In the last couple of weeks, House Republicans from the suburban Chicago area prevented three key bills from moving forward in Springfield. In particular, 16 House Republicans from the suburbs voted against legislation that would have mandated criminal background checks on handgun sales, HB 758, and prohibited the sale of no more than one handgun a month.
In addition, they also voted against another important measure. Currently, Illinois law states that parents are required to safely store firearms so that they are not accessible to children and teens under the age of 14. Another bill would raise that standard to the age of 18.
We need to be absolutely clear about what happened here. This is not a planned uprising among Republicans in favor of specific pieces of gun legislation. It is, rather, a damaging blow against what voters want - a blow largely caused by phone calls and emails delivered repeatedly by the NRA. During this legislative session, House Republicans from suburban Chicago have made decisions on the gun issue based on calls from a vocal and intimidating minority.
Emphasis added
What do these people think will be accomplished with additional laws will stop law abiding people from getting guns to protect themselves when people that don’t abide by the laws we have now will just ignore in the future?
I just donated another $100 to NRA to stop these ignorant people….you should too.
