New "Model Gun Law"

The 'Illinois Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership have put forward their latest plan to make firearm ownership so difficult and expensive that it amounts to a defacto ban:

Certificate of ownership, arbitrarily issued by whatever agency is in charge, requiring 5 hours of 'safety' training and 2 hours of range time for EACH firearm. An additional written test. (with fees).Renewed every two years. (with fees).

Registration. Arbitrarily decided firearms cannot be registered. Renewed Annually. With fees.

Safe Storage (lock or safe). But it's ok to take it out if someone's about to kill you.

'Lost or Stolen' reporting. W/ the words 'should have discovered'. Uh huh.


Proposal here. It contains links to their other 'Model Gun Bans' including 50 cals, "assault weapons", personalized handguns, etc. Details start about page 20. The rest is lots of citations by Kellerman, Cook, and other Joyce puppets on why gun ownership is 'Da Debill'.


Only Ones excepted in all cases of course.

Basically their plan is to canvass all the townships like Winnetka that have their gun bans overturned or in jeopardy with this as an 'alternative' that they think will pass muster.

H/T to Armed and Safe who has more.

God bless them if they can get the ILGA or any local municipality to try and pass some abomination like this. God help the aforementioned if they're stupid enough to push this issue.

It would be good if they did though because it might wake a lot of people up. Personally I subscribe to what Lincoln said

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
