Guess I can stop waiting.  When does the 5 round mag limit get introduced?  (Knowing that it's going to become a contest to see who can put in place the toughest law...)

Nobody's added to this thread since Mr. Sicko-pants ran amok in Connecticut.

What do you all think will happen here?

Dunno.

We shouted them down when they tried to weasel stuff through in the lame duck session.

Little Lisa Madigan (our AG) wants the full 7th circuit to review Moore vs. Madigan.  This will not (so I have read) affect the 6 month limit Illinois has to make a carry law.

I saw this morning that "bullets that pierce metal" (versus AP) are on the list of planned prohibitions (not sure if that was just Chicago or all of IL - it was a Rahm Emanuel interview). So complete ammo ban I guess...

Stick an aluminum pop can out there, and this would get rid of BB guns, pellet guns, airsoft, paintball, and probably a couple of the Nerf guns.

Here's a story on the IL CCW situation. I don't know if any of this is actually news.

The NRA rep stating "if they pass nothing we won" and how it WILL be shall-issue, with NO exemptions for Chicago out Cook county is awesome.

It's awesome to hear an NRA rep show he has stones.

HB 0997, this years iteration of the Family and Personal Protection Act.  Right out of the gate, there's darn little to quibble about with this.  Darn little.

Here is the whole 2 hours of the televised town hall meeting. I watched most of it. Rhonda Ezell spoke for a few minutes.

It is really sad the way some of these people think of government as the supplier of needs and solver of problems. Have a crime problem in your community? The first response is "the government needs to give us more resources." Since CCW isn't "resources," it can't help their community.
