Back From the Dead

In Illinois, anti's (many Brady Campaign endorsed) keep trying to pass a "Handgun Dealers Licensing Act" to make transactions even more onerous and expensive. It has failed each time.

This year they tried a new trick. They let it sit in committee for nearly a year and are now trying to slip it onto the floor for a vote.

This bill (HB0180)not only just generically states 'concealable firearms' (whatever that means), but also includes 'concealable firearm ammunition' and the ever present government database. It has 25 Co-Sponsors, all the usual suspects, which should tell you the mentality of gun control advocates and their supporting legislators.

But when Dennis "What People" Henigan, Brady Campaign lawyer states:
" The core of the gun lobby's strategy is to use fear tactics to keep gun owners in a constant state of agitation so that they can be activated to oppose even modest gun law reforms."
He's not talking about stunts like this, right?

Expect them to milk the shooting in Macomb for all it's worth, too.
