LATE BREAKING ALERT – NEXT VOTE ON SEMI AUTO BAN WILL TAKE PLACE SUNDAY<br />
YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED <br />
After getting nowhere in the Senate, the gun controllers have taken their campaign to destroy your rights to the Illinois House. Earlier today,
Amendment #1 to SB2899 was introduced in the Illinois House of Representatives. Sponsored by rabidly anti-gun Rep. Eddie Acevedo, the amendment would do two things to you: <br />
1. It would pick your pocket to pay for the confiscation and destruction of your own guns. <br />
2. It would ban more than 50% of the rifles and more than 80% of handguns owned by Illinois citizens. <br />
THIS BILL WILL BE VOTED ON BY THE
HOUSE JUDICIARY 1 COMMITTEE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON – YOU MUST ACT NOW! <br />
To help save your guns, please contact the following
Representatives and politely tell them that you are a law-abiding firearm owner and that you do not support SB2899 and that you expect them to vote the amendment down. <br />

SPECIAL GUN OWNER ALERT<br />
DO NOT BE CONFUSED – THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER <br />
As most of you are aware, the ISRA has been fighting against 2 bills introduced into the Illinois Senate this week: <br />
1. HB815 – A bill to clamp down on gun ranges and ban magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds. <br />
2. HB1263 – A bill to clamp down on gun ranges and ban all semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns as well as numerous other popular firearms. <br />
Unfortunately, these two bills made it out of the Senate Public Health Committee – a committee stacked with gun grabbing senators. However, thanks to all the pressure Illinois gun owners put on the Senate, the sponsors of the gun grab bills have delayed bringing these bills before the full Senate. <br />
THE MEDIA IS CLAIMING THAT THESE BILLS ARE DEAD – THIS IS NOT TRUE! <br />
Do not believe what you see in the papers or hear on TV, these bills are not dead. They remain alive and may be called for a vote at any time before the Senate adjourns next week! <br />
YOU NEED TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON UNTIL THE SENATE ADJOURNS! <br />
To keep the pressure on, please call the following Senators and politely tell the person that answers the phone that you are a law abiding firearm owner and you do not appreciate being treated like a criminal. Call these Senators at lest once a day through next Wednesday. <br />

2. Sen. Antonio Munoz (773) 869-9050 <br />
