Listening to the Senate Hearings on increasing mo' gun laws, I thought I'd almost heard <i>agreement</i> betwixt "Sack 'o Durbin (<i>Tyranny</i>)" and LaPierre (<i>NRA</i>) regarding Increasing Background Checks.<br />
Radio played a soundbite that almost sounded like Durbin made the same point a LaPierre.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #666666;">“You’re never going to get criminals to go through universal
background checks,” LaPierre said. Instead, he added, “We’re going to
make all those law-abiding people go through the system, and then we’re
not going to prosecute people if they do go through them [and make false
statements].”</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span id="more-26554"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">LaPierre was stopped by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the judiciary
committee chairman. As it happened, Durbin — an outspoken supporter of
tighter gun laws — had the floor next.</span><span style="color: #666666;">
“Mr. LaPierre, that’s the point,” Durbin said, meaning that the
background checks would, in theory, stop the criminals that sought to
pass them. “You missed the point.”</span></blockquote>

"criminals won't go to purchase the guns, because there will be a
background check! We'll stop them from the original purchase."

Nixon, i bet, loved bustin' himself some clays ... as he visualized his enemies list. But Barack? I'm filled with disbelief. Trying to see BHO shooting skeet in my minds eye, I see him in mom jeans, awkwardly holding a side-by-side, closing his eyes as he yells "Pull!"<br />

<br />
Lets look at the <i>evil .50 bmg</i>. It's an interesting microcosm of the gun debate.<br />
One of the reasons for the attention given to banning this caliber, I believe, is the relatively minute number of shooters that use it. Outliers, so to speak, are easy to cull from the pack. <br />
My elected State officials have been trying to outlaw my ownership of
this class of firearms for some time. IL Governor Quinn (D) wants a ban. Chicago Mayor Emmanual (D) wants a ban. IL House Speaker Mike Madigan (D) wants a ban. His little girl, States Attorney Lisa Madigan (D) wants a ban. Blagojevitch (D)
wanted to ban it before he was incarcerated. I'll review Ryans position when he's released from
prison.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
John Moses Browning developed the cartridge around 100 years ago.</div>
<br />
Why do they hate this particular cartridge? <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/that-depends-on-the-game-being-hunted-senator-mu-oz" target="_blank">Others have speculated</a>. Despite the claims by the politicians, this caliber is NOT magical. It's just big. It's powerful. It's really just a "super-sized" 30-06. It's the largest caliber considered "small arms". Go bigger ... 20mm and such, and you're in "destructive device" territory. In some locales, even those can be legally owned (with proper licensing, etc).<br />
<br />
For decades this cartridge languished mostly in the province of the military. It fed the M2 machine gun in its many configurations. Except for legal machinegun owners there was little civilian interest. That began changing in the late 70's and early 80's. Gun smiths around the country began to tinker. By the mid 1980's shooters, smith's and tinkerers of like mind <a href="http://www.fcsa.org/wwwroot/index.php" target="_blank">organized</a>. Through their organization, once arcane information was shared. An information data-base was built and expanded upon.<br />
New guns were built. In a few short years, civilian enthusiasts & entrepreneurs had done more research & development on this cartridge than the military and government had done in decades.<br />

By the mid 1990's interest in the .50's was large and growing.<br />
<br />
Statists didn't seem to like this development. Was it because of a rash of .50 caliber crimes? No. If anything these arms seem to belong to the most law-abiding citizens of the land. The size, weight (most 30 lbs and up) and cost ($1,600.00 and up) of these arms make them an unreasonable choice for street crime. They're just "Too dangerous to be in civilian hands." Note that there's never any mention that "they're too dangerous to be a federal asset", is there? No. It's about <strike>gun</strike> population control.<br />
<br />
We know <strike>politicians</strike> would-be tyrants want power out of the peoples hands. Tyrants demand a monopoly of power. Tyrants will tell you that only they can wield this power responsibly. This is a lie.<br />
<br />
Tyrants love power ... in <i>their</i> hands. Power distributed to the populace is anathema to a tyrant.<br />

It may be time to resurrect the old hippie/civil rights mantra of "Power to the People".<br />
<br />
And if they are able to ban the .50 ? Will they be done? Not likely. Get out your caliber chart and count backwards. Incrementally you'll be told that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rifle_cartridges#.30_caliber_-_.40_caliber" target="_blank">next class of calibers</a> will be "too powerful to be in civilian hands."

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">As most of you
know, this has been a very tense week
for the law-abiding<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Illinois<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>firearm
owner. As most of us were getting ready
to ring in the New Year, Senate
President John Cullerton and his band of
gun controllers were secretly preparing
a major offensive against your gun
rights. We got wind of the pending
attack on your 2<sup>nd</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Amendment
rights early in the week and immediately
called together our lobbyists and
strategic planners to build a defense. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we finally saw
the public release of the Cullerton plan
mid-week, we were shocked at what we
saw. Based on recent events, we fully
expected to see legislative proposals to
ban so-called “assault weapons,” and
so-called “high-capacity ammunition
feeding devices.” However, those
affronts to your rights paled in
comparison with what Cullerton’s
proposal entailed. Here is a sampling
of the extremist proposals advanced by
Cullerton’s gun-grab plan: </div>

Illinois State Police would be given
full control over the design and
operation of commercial gun ranges in
the state. That control would extend
from the design of the bullet backstops
to qualifications of range employees and
even to the color of the paint on the
walls of the men’s room. The State
Police would determine the hours of
operation, what types and calibers of
firearms could be discharged at the
range, and even a minimum number of
square feet. Every range customer would
have to undergo a background check and
each customer’s visit would be logged by
the range operator. Any<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Illinois<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>law
enforcement agency could conduct
unannounced and warrantless inspections
and searches of ranges at any time.
Those searches and inspections would
extend to range customers and their
property. That means that the Chicago
Police Department would have the
authority to raid a range in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Peoria<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and
roust the customers of that range. The
bottom line is, this range regulation
proposal has the sole objective of
running commercial shooting ranges out
of business. We had never seen anything
like this before, but the intent was
clear. </div>

semi-automatic firearms would be either
banned outright, or be so severely taxed
and restricted that ownership would be
impractical. We expected to see
attempts to ban or regulate AR and AK
type firearms, but what we saw in
Cullerton’s proposal carried that to an
extreme. Cullerton’s gun ban would
extend to all semiautomatic rifles,
pistols and shotguns. Additionally,
many pump action rifles and shotguns
would be banned as well. This ban would
include such classics as the 1911 and
the M1 Garand. Of course, all Glocks,
Sig-Sauers, and other popular pistols
would be banned as well. Estimates are
that about 50% of rifles and 80% of
handguns lawfully-owned by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Illinois<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>citizens

bizarre and convoluted scheme to
register all “ammunition feeding
devices” capable of holding more than 10
rounds – including magazines, stripper
clips, drums, etc. Since none of these
devices possess serial numbers, owners
of these devices would essentially
register them under the “honor system.”
Of course, we all know how well
criminals stick to the honor system. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The two bills
containing these provisions, HB0815 and
HB1263, were both assigned to the Senate
Public Health Committee for review.
This committee is notoriously anti-gun
and is stacked 6 to 4 with antigun
Democrats under Cullerton’s thumb. On
Wednesday night, the two bills came up
for hearing before the Senate Public
Health Committee. During debate of
these two bills, we heard straight from
the horses’ mouths what the intents and
purposes of these bills were. Sitting
there listening to the sponsors and
their supporters was a very maddening
experience. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Committee testimony
given by the anti-gunners confirmed that
the gun control movement holds firearm
owners in deep contempt. During
testimony, the gun controllers claimed
that the range restriction bill would
actually preserve 2<sup>nd</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Amendment
rights while providing public safety.
The gun controllers acknowledged that
most semiautomatic firearms would be
banned, but that people who wished to
shoot semiautomatics should be reassured
because they would be able to go to an
approved range and legally rent
semiautomatics to shoot. In other
words, you should not be upset about
surrendering your $5,000 target rifle
because you can still go down to an
approved range and get a junker out of
the rental case to plink with. This was
one of the most condescending lines of
testimony I have ever heard levied
against the right to keep and bear arms
– and the anti-gunners uttered it with
completely straight faces. The gun
controllers really need to keep in mind
that the 2<sup>nd</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Amendment
says "keep and bear arms,” not "rent
arms.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, nowhere
in any of the testimony given by the
bills’ supporters was there any mention
of how these restrictions and bans would
affect criminals. In fact, the bill
proponents became extremely defensive
when pro-gun witnesses mentioned
anything about violent gun-toting
criminals. It was clear that the
proponents’ focus was solely on lawfully
held firearms. In not so many words,
the supporters of these bills claimed
that they were good “first steps” to
achieving a “civil society.” In the
twisted world-view of the anti-gunners,
law-abiding citizens are standing in the
way of a civil society, not criminals. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As most of you may
know, the two bills passed out of the
Public Health Committee by 6-4 and 6-3
votes. The next step would be a vote on
the floor. Late Thursday, the
newspapers were reporting that the
sponsors are delaying a vote on the
bills because they do not have enough
support for passage. Please, don’t be
fooled by such claims. These bills are
alive and well and can be called up for
a vote at any time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In writing this
note, I thought I’d give you a taste of
what the ISRA lobbyists experience every
day in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Springfield.
We could not continue to do what we do
without knowing that you, the
law-abiding citizen, has our back. Your
support is crucial to our success – we
do all we do for you. So, with that in
mind, there are a few things I’d like
you to do: </div>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">1. Remember that
these anti-gun bills are eligible for a
full vote of the Senate at any time up
through next Wednesday. Do not be
lulled to sleep by media claims that the
bills are dead.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
2. Keep an eye on your email for any
alerts the ISRA issues regarding these
bills or any other anti-gun activity. </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">3. Please consider
giving the ISRA a generous monetary
donation so we may continue the fight
for your rights. </span></div>

So ends this first skirmish. Bottom line; they retreated today. They'll
be back. In the meantime the IL Dems will continue to build support for
outlawing as many guns, magazines and bullets as they can. <br />

<br />
<br />Warning!!<br />Statewide Firearm Ban<br />Moves Forward in IL!<br /><br />Legislation Advances to Senate Floor for Debate and Possible Vote Today!<br /><br /><br /><br />HB 815 amendment 1 & 2 and HB1263 amendments 5 & 6 were approved along party lines (Democrats supporting, Republicans opposing) and passed out of the Senate Public Health Committee last night. Both bills now proceed to the full Senate for a floor debate and vote, possibly as soon as today.<br /><br />If passed, the bills would ban most all semi-auto handguns, rifles, and shotguns as well as pump rifle and shotguns. The proposed legislation would also close down most shooting ranges and clubs that are open to the public or conduct events open to the public. Included in the legislation is a ban on ammunition magazines with a capacity to hold more than 10 rounds, a requirement to register all guns and magazines with the Illinois State Police.<br /><br />We cannot allow Chicago politicians to spread Chicago's disregard for the Second Amendment and their outrageous treatment of law abiding gun owners to the rest of the state.<br /><br />Call your IL State Senator and State Representative NOW and urge them to vote no on HB 815 and HB 1263! Call Senate President John Cullerton and let him know you do not appreciate a Chicago-style ban on guns and ranges being forced on the rest of the state! Be polite but firm!<br /><br />To find out who your State Senator and<br />State Representative are call<br />217-782-2000<br /><br /><br />Follow the discusion on IllinoisCarry.com<br /><br />Forward to your friends, family, and contacts!<br />Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15386245786740470213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021172118280464233.post-20039872101584867192013-01-02T20:42:00.000-08:002013-01-02T20:42:05.787-08:00ISRA Alerth/t <a href="http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sipsey</a><br />

treated like a criminal and that you oppose any efforts

Seems that in the pursuit of "a national conversation" about gun control, a certain <a href="http://www.aspentimes.com/article/20121228/COLUMN/121229911" target="_blank">Todd Hartley</a> believes that telling owners of semi-auto rifles that they're "compensating for their small penises" is an effective debate tactic.<br />

Many have decided that the cost of being disarmed has too high a price. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history#United_States_of_America" target="_blank"><i>Many Americans have decided that the cost of a government monopoly of force has far too high a price. </i></a><br />
<br />
And Todd? Even if your sexual inadequacy projection fantasy were true or possible, what kind of insensitive bully would that make you? The kind willing to make fun of the less endowed? And here I thought the gunnies were supposed to be the low brow, unfeeling, name-calling troglodytes! Your disconnect from reality, your mean-spiritedness descends into misogyny when you want to tell women rifle owners that they too are "compensating for small penises".<br />
<br />
Todd, for some sensitivity training, I steer you to a movie titled <a href="http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/my-penis-and-everyone-elses/" target="_blank">"My Penis And Everyone Elses" </a><br />
Seems like you want to talk about penises and their size ... alot. This movie does just that.<br />

Lastly, Todd<i>, </i>if the penis obsession wasn't enough,<i> </i>when you actually provide a quote that states,<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="color: black;">"</span>That's the plain and simple truth, even if it's not true."</i></span></span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
you've pretty much disqualified yourself from the debate. At least at the grown-ups table. </div>

Because, y'know, disarmament worked so well for the Russians under Stalin, worked so well for the Germans under Hitler, worked so well for Pol Pot, worked so well for Mao. How about a new slogan for the gungrabbers?<br />
