ISRA Action Alert - State Ammunition Ban

ISRA Alert: AMMUNITION BAN BILLS ON THE MOVE IN ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY

A pair of ammunition ban bills are up for hearing in the House Executive Committee this week. If enacted, either of these bills would effectively ban the purchase of ammunition in Illinois. The bills in question are HB 4269 sponsored by Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago), and HB 4349 sponsored by Rep. Naomi Jakobsson (D-Champaign).

Here is what passage of either of these bills would mean to you: 1. Ammunition manufacturers would be required to imprint a secret code on cartridge casings so that the purchaser of the ammunition could be identified.

  1. When you purchase ammunition, that secret code would be registered to your name.
  2. All your ammunition purchases would be registered with the Illinois State Police.
  3. You would be responsible for all eternity for ammunition registered to you.
  4. It would be in your best interest to destroy all expended ammunition casings because an unaccounted for empty casing could be used to frame you for a crime you did not commit.
  5. You would have to surrender all unregistered ammunition you now own to the Illinois State Police.
  6. Reloading would be banned.
  7. The Illinois Department of Revenue would be authorized to place a tax on ammunition and raise that tax any time for any reason.
  8. Taxes and increased manufacturing costs would raise the price of a box of .45 ammo to 0 or more.
  9. Gun ownership would become too costly for most people.

WHAT YOU MUST DO TO HELP SAVE YOUR GUN RIGHTS:

  1. Call Rep. Monique Davis' office at (217) 782-0010 and POLITELY tell the person that answers that you are a law-abiding gun owner and you would oppose Rep. Davis' attempt to ban ammunition.

  3. Call each of the following members of the House Executive Committee and POLITELY tell whoever answers the phone that you OPPOSE HB4269 and HB4349 and that you would like them to vote against those bills in the Executive Committee. Remember, you represent the gun owners of this state, so BE POLITE:

Far better to call each and every gun and ammo manufacturer. Ask them that they stop selling ANY of their products to all law enforcement agencies within your state. Get all gun owners you know to do the same.

Then do as you suggest. Call your moronic law break...er...makers. Tell them what you've asked of the manufacturers. Then ask 'em how the police are going to arm their officers.

Unless they're in Berkeley, they'll listen. This has worked here.
