Illinois Legislative Alert January 17, 2000
The Illinois legislative session started this past week, and Governor
Ryan is sure to make a power play. You see, he was beaten back in
the last special “gun control” session by your efforts, and he is
fuming!
If you recall, you won that fight with no prior notice, hardly any
time to react, and in the faces of the Attorney General, the Governor
and rabid anti-gunner, Chicago’s Mayor Daley. Your actions saved the
day. Congratulations.
Unfortunately, the side of right never gets much rest. You can
expect Governor Ryan to be lobbying HARD for his so-called “Safe
Neighborhoods” Act again this session. Some people on the inside at
the Capital have told GOA staffers that calls and visits were already
being made.
Governor Ryan’s “UnSafe Neighborhoods Act” does nothing to curb
illegal firearms — no law does. What it DOES do is make criminals
out of law-abiding citizens for carrying a firearm to the range, or
someone with an out-of-state permit to carry who is transporting a
LEGAL FIREARM IN A SAFE MANNER.
The penalties for an innocent mistake can include not only permanent
loss of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, but also the permanent loss
of the right to make a living! That’s right — you would forever be
denied the right to earn a living in many professional fields
including, Law, Medicine or Teaching.
Of course, that is just the tip of the iceberg — like any anti-gun
bill or act, it can be twice as bad by the time it comes out of the
political process — if you and I don’t act to stop the anti-gunners
from taking over the process.
Once again, it falls to you to protect your rights from anti-gunners
and the weak-kneed compromisers that will sell you out when the heavy
hand of the Governor pushes them around.
Call, fax, email and write your lawmakers in the State House and
Senate right away.
The two Ryans have made it clear that they will do anything to force
this anti-gun package of compost through the legislature — they
proved it by forcing that last special session, where your actions
and efforts stopped them cold.
But insiders are reporting that there are backroom deals in the
works. Governor Ryan and Attorney General Ryan are exerting all
kinds of pressure on the legislators.
Still red-faced from that stinging special session defeat at the
hands of Gun Owners across Illinois over their anti-gun cadre, they
will pull any political shenanigans necessary to push their agenda
forward. And unfortunately there may even be some insider “gun
lobbyists” willing to help them do it.
PLEASE CALL THE LEGISLATURE — AND KEEP CALLING — to tell them you
are opposed to this legislation. Let them know you oppose any
so-called “compromise” … you want NO GUN CONTROL in 2000.
Use the following contact information right away.
