Winter for gun owners in Illinois is usually the season of gun shows, an opportunity to catch up on reloading, or dreaming about that next gun you can’t live without. This winter is different. Calling our legislators, attending town hall meetings and keeping our friends informed on the latest news from Springfield has occupied most of our free time. Early December brought news from the 7th Circuit that Illinois would finally have concealed carry. Then came Sandy Hook. Like the rest of the country, emotion ruled the day in Illinois and one bad gun law after the next began to take form in Springfield. But they were beaten back after calls, emails and visits from Illinois gun owners. Which brings me to March 6th and Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day . . .
Since the first IGOLD in 2007 the number of 2nd Amendment defenders showing up in Springfield has grown nearly tenfold. An estimated 10,000 people showed up last year, and this year has the potential to be even bigger. Every gun owner in Illinois has a duty to be there and make our voice louder than ever. Make plans to be in Springfield tomorrow. The doors to the Prairie Capitol Convention Center open at 10:45 am for an 11:30 meeting before we head out at 1:00 to make our presence felt at the Capitol Building. We hope to see you there.

Note that NY SAFE, from the way I read it, does the same. Nor can you register them the way you (theoretically) could an “assault weapon.” I’m surprised there hasn’t been more outcry.
John Boch will be there along with Guns Save Life’s First Lady Wendy Lund!
God Speed!
I was in Mombasa Kenya in 1982. Place was a mess then. Still a mess. Shame. Africa could be so much more to the world than chaos, tyranny and senseless violence. Don’t know what the solution is. If there is one…
The only thing that Senator left out was asking if she tried vomiting or urinating and claiming she was pregnant. I hear that is the way to go now.
I hate seeing these prices if I do find ammo its around $1 a round for 9mm and .223 I not paying for that. people should be buying 30 round mags not ammo that is what is on the chopping block.
“Intentional Violation of Rights is a Crime.”
The $PLC is still around? That’s actually surprising.
UNION SOLJERS!! Bernice, fetch me my rifle!
I can’t even quickly read this list without getting majorly pissed off (save for the few pro-2A bills scattered in…)
I can’t imagine the restraint necessary for Mr. Farago to research and publish this list without punching a hole in his monitor.
I just want to wave this in front of people faces who have been arguing “we just want a couple of ‘common sense’ laws put in place”… Really? 80+ bills to turn everyday Americans into criminals is just a couple of common sense laws?
How about an IQ test before being placed on the ballot or being allowed to breed?
It’s basic physics. Two solid objects cannot simultaneously occupy the same space…
With the possible exception of Quantum Physics!
