You give them an inch…they’ll go a mile.
Illinois Democrats will stop at nothing until the state government bans all guns. The Illinois Supreme Court already upheld the ban on phantom “assault weapons” and large capacity magazines.
Chicago has already started the push to ban Glocks in the city.
State legislators want to do the same thing at the state level. Cam Edwards at Bearing Arms explains:
HB 4045 and its companion bill in the Senate would allow anyone who knowingly manufactures, sells, offers to sell, purchases, receives, manufactures, imports, or transfers a “convertible pistol” to be charged with unlawful possession of a weapon; a class 4 felony in the state punishable by a minimum of one year in prison and up to three years behind bars and a $25,000 fine. If the bill becomes law, gun dealers in Illinois could still sell Glocks to law enforcement and the military (as well as private security protecting nuclear sites), but selling some of the most popular pistols in the country to we the people would be a criminal offense.
I hate my home state so much.
“Switches make handguns significantly more dangerous and it’s far beyond time we directly address the carnage they cause in our communities,” said State Representative Justin Slaughter, sponsor of HB 4045. “This legislation has two aims: keep our communities safe and incentivize the gun industry to produce safer products. We are excited to introduce this legislation to our colleagues in Springfield.”
Cam pointed out that the possession of a switch is already against the law at the state and federal levels.
Plus, the Supreme Court ruled that banning handguns is unconstitutional.
Again, criminals do not care about laws. That’s why they’re criminals.
