[handym3000]

what the, cant these people quit this nonsense. stupid legislators and misinformed public what a disasterous combination

 

[KABAR2]

This bunch is probably behind it!

http://ammunitionaccountability.org/

see the other thread on this topic there more than one state being hit with this.

Some one needs to see who's money is behind this group! it came out of no where rather fast,
has to be a front group, got to find the real players behind it.

 

[N2124V]

Very disturbing

This is very disturbing since the majority of shooting involve someone known to the victim. Also, the logistics behind something like this are monumental. There really needs to be some digging to see who is behind this group. I also like the provision that it be for hand guns or assault rifles? So, where does 30-06 fall? How are you going to engrave a .22 LR?

 

[hotchkissmtrifle]

So what about reloading?

I think since this group came up with it they should be in charged of stamping all rim fire cartridgesthrough a make shift tube looking at them

 

[Ptmetals]

I can't for the life of me see this thing passing as the logistics would be impossible. But if it did all I can say is hold on the SHTF is about to start. I can see the headlines (A inspector is at the firing range want's to verify someones load, OK here it is Ops sorry, Can I have my slug back. God help us all this country is being run by greed and soul less people.

Ammo Encoding

So what about reloading?

In the IL bill I believe reloading would become "illegal".

Illinois Dem's at there best....call them and oppose but be polite

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.

2. When you purchase ammunition, that secret code would be registered to your name.

3. All your ammunition purchases would be registered with the Illinois State Police.

4. You would be responsible for all eternity for ammunition registered to you.

5. 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.

6. You would have to surrender all unregistered ammunition you now own to the Illinois State Police.

7. Reloading would be banned.

8. The Illinois Department of Revenue would be authorized to place a tax on ammunition and raise that tax any time for any reason.

9. Taxes and increased manufacturing costs would raise the price of a box of .45 ammo to $200 or more.

10. 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.

2. Call Rep. Naomi Jakobsson’s offce at (217) 558-1009 and POLITELY tell the person that answers that you are a law-abiding gun owner and you would oppose Rep. Jakobsson’s 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:

Rep. Dan Burke (D-Chicago) (217) 782-1117
Rep Joseph Lyons (D-Chicago) (217) 782-8400
Rep. Dan Brady (R-Bloomington) (217) 782-1118
Rep. Eddie Acevedo (D-Chicago) (217) 782-2855
Rep. Maria Antonia Berrios (D-Chicago) (217) 558-1032
Rep. Bob Biggins (R-Elmhurst) (217) 782-6578
Rep Michael Bradley (D-Chicago) (217) 782-8117
Rep. Brent Hassert (R-Romeoville) (217) 782-4179
Rep. Jim Meyer (R-Naperville) (217) 782-8028
Rep. Robert Molaro (D-Chicago) (217) 782-5280
Rep. Bob Rita (D-Crestwood) (217) 558-1000
Rep. Angelo Saviano (R-River Grove) (217) 782-3374
Rep. Arthur Turner (D-Chicago) (217) 782-8116

4. Please pass this alert along to all your gun-owning friends and ask them to make calls as well.

5. Please post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards to which you may belong.

Remember – gun control is a disease, you are the cure!

 

[ZoLtAr1]

These ludicrus bills would make 1000's of law abiding citizens instant criminals if they did not surrender their ammo..
PUH-LEEZE!! This is such a stupid idea..

 

[just some dude]

then there should be encoding on basball bats, golf clubs, bricks, #2 pencils,hammers, fishing line, cords and wires, plastic bags, cars, planes, metal pipes, rope, glass, shovels, any and all garden tools, all power tools, knives, scarfs, anything that will hold 6 inches or more of water and maybe even the water its self....and then it should all be stored in a file system to protect us all.....cause you can kill with any of these items as easy or more so than a bullet. what a bunch of ass hats!, all this time, energy, and money could be used to make america better and this is what they come up with.....encoding bullets.....WOW

 

[L999here]

....probably this guy....

Generally,IN has very few problems with this kind of crap. However....George Soros is probably behind this business,as well as several other nasty,freedom grabing idiotic ideas. Need to find out where this creep lives. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen of Chech or Hungarian decent. Should be a price on his head right now. He has done more to hurt this country and diminish our freedoms more than Jane Fonda (spit) ever did.

 

[CaptMax]

And what about the shotgun shells? Sabots or slugs possibly, but what about the #6 bird shot? I suppose we will farm this out to some impoverished third world country to label all those tiny little steel balls.

[JCM70]

This country is suppose to be we the people not we the government its should be what we want not them. The whole government needs to be fired and started over again like it was suppose to be. To many of them have been in office way to long and should be out of there. You can make as many stupid laws as you want but it will not stop anything because the criminals do not care. Yep I live here in Commie IL I will not give up any thing I own soon I will be flying a Nazi flag in yard it fits this state well and all over soon the Hitlers are coming to take our guns.This crap pisses me off let people carry a gun and not put them in jail if they shoot a criminal (If they have a weapon)this is why s*#t still happens. Do they really want to stop crime or gun owners we all know the answer to that. I am so sick of this s*#t. My two cents whether its right or wrong im tired of them.

 

[toolmanm203]

no need to sugar coat it just tell us how you really feel.well I guess since I have to move from ny it wont be fla. or ill. either maybe va. or kentucky are still safe for now?

 

[BEFU]

Better use of time.

what a bunch of ass hats!, all this time, energy, and money could be used to make america better and this is what they come up with.....encoding bullets.....WOW

Yeah, there is so much more they could be working on that is important. What else are they working on? Oh yeah, talking about how a bunch of over paid jocks who play a game use steroids.

The system is broke.

 

[gska3873]

Wrote my House Representative today voicing my displeasure in this.

Here is the actual bill as it is being proposed in Indiana, sounds like it is all about the government making money as usual.

 

[Armorer]

If you read the latest NRA posting you will see duplicate bills being introduced in half a dozen states. This is a coordinated attack. Make no mistake these bills are not about crime control. The people who introduce them do not give a damn about preventing crime or aprehending criminals. These bills are aimed at us. They hate guns and the people who own them. The people who introduced them know full well what it will do to the shooting sports and self defense. They will make it a crime to have unregistered ammo and follow up with laws saying you have to turn in all your empty cases and god help you if any are missing. Having any reloading componenets will give you a trip to jail. Within a year or two we will have England's gun laws. This is also a good way to put many conservative voters in jail so they can't vote.

 

[pfarber]

This is also a good way to put many conservative voters in jail so they can't vote.

Liberal convicted felons vote all the time. Why follow the law? They don't.
