Oh this is just funny as hell. The background...anyone applying for a FOID and under the age of 21 must receive written permission from a parent/guardian, which may make you say "WHAT!?" because, you know, that requires a legal adult to have a guardian, which means that they're federally...

I was checking the SCOTUS docket for new docket entries since responses were due by yesterday and found this.... "Mar 6 2013 Waiver of right of respondent County of Westchester to respond filed." This is EXTREMELY odd when the prevailing party in the appellate case declines to file a response...

From Breitbart.com.... Gabby Giffords's Husband Buys AR-15 "Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an'"assault weapon,' he called it)—which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent...

Look at this...it'll surely make you vomit. "The time has come, America, to step up and ban these weapons. The other very important part of this bill is to ban large capacity ammunition feeding devices, those that hold more than 10 rounds. We have federal regulations and state laws that...

"Illinois Assault Weapons Act" Full-Blown Ex Post Facto Gun/Mag BAN in Third Reading Well it seems Illinois has one-upped New York, or is trying to (this doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of passing and even if it does, the state would get the living **** sued out of it). Today, the...

Obama is yet again sticking his nose in the business of a completely separate branch of the federal government...the judiciary (wow what a surprise). This man has zero boundaries, zero respect for others, zero self-respect, zero credibility...he just believes he's some sort of deity, supreme...

Rep. Sacia during the debate on the Illinois House floor over concealed carry (forgot what this specific tear was in regard to as he went on several that day/evening but this one was the best, comparing castration to gun control and ripping into Chicago for wanting a "warm fuzzie" haha. One of...

Yeah, great idea! When asked "what happens if there's an earthquake? I live in California" during a town hall, Biden advised the questioner to just fire a shotgun blast right through the door with no idea who's on the other side. Not to mention doing that is ALSO A FELONY and we're talking...

Illinois STILL Refuses to Pass Preemptive Carry Statute w/ "Reasonable Restrictions" I watched the ILGA floor debate for 9 hours on concealed carry last night. The current shall issue bill was amended to a shell bill introduced by Madigan, along with a bunch of super-restrictive amendments. A...

The FOIA Officer for the Cook County SA's Office, Paul Castiglione, just said today in a public hearing, open to ANYONE, streamed on the internet, that the UUW law is "completely constitutional" and that they "absolutely" will be able to prosecute people for violations of it even after the 180...

See my post over in the Illinois sub-forum (sub-topic? whatever). Illinois Senators owned and operated by the Chicago Machine have introduced three registration bills, two gun bans, three bills requiring insurance, firearm safety training for all FOID renewals and new applicants (we'll have to...

Several Chicago Machine Senators have introduced bills to require training to get a FOID card, three bills containing language providing for gun registration, three bills containing language requiring gun insurance (all gun owners carry a liability insurance policy of $1M or more), two gun and...

The NRA-ILA obtained this piece of, whatever, entitled "Summary of Select Firearm Violence Prevention Strategies" (read: guideline for a gun ban) drafted by the one and only Greg Ridgeway (I refuse to use the title of "Dr." or suffix of "Ph.D"). I believe it's pretty clear what the endgame is...

Sen. Leahy's "Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act of 2013" (S. 54) - BAD NEWS Sen. "I'm a Socialist!" Leahy has introduced legislation to ban "gun trafficking" (yet it makes no mention of Eric Holder...so much for stopping trafficking). The not-so-unintended consequences of this law are...

LaRue Tactical has instituted a new policy which basically says that if law-abiding citizens aren't permitted to own an item (like an AR or 30 round mag) in a municipality, state, district, or whatever, then it will not sell to law enforcement in that same area...to avoid "erroneous shipments."...
