Gun-control battle brewing in Illinois as NRA, allies target state - Chicago Sun-Times



Here we go again.

I've already stated that I'm all for the Second Amendment. I've also said, the NRA should stay out of our "Elected Officials" pockets. We don't need them pestering, and sliding dollar bills in our legislators pockets. This organization handcuffs our law enforcement from doing their job by putting road-block, after road-block when it comes to getting guns out of the hands of criminals. Just ask them why law-abiding citizens have to jump through hoops, and fire to own a gun, but a sleazy criminals doesn't? You will never get an answer. Why are they (The NRA) supporting the right of known, and potential terrorist to own a gun? You will never get an answer. If a person is on the "Terrorist Watch List", what good, sane, logical reason can they come up with for explaining that this threat can obtain a gun? You will never hear one.

Close the "No Background Check" loophole at gun shows. Law-abiding citizens are for this measure, but the NRA isn't. How do you justify that? They (NRA) can't. If this state does pass a "Conceal and Carry law", and criminals still have the same better access to guns, how does that help us law abiding citizens? It will not. Why? Because our legislator will make more hoops, and fires for us to jump through. Need proof? Look at what former mayor Daley did. We knew his gun ban was unconstitutional, and it took some years, but it got overturned. What did Daley do? He rushed more unconstitutional legislation on the law-abiding citizens, not the criminals. Instead of having a business open up in the city for any law-abiding citizen to own a gun, and generate some revenue for this city, he made us go out of the city, and spend our money in the surrounding suburbs. That makes no sense.

So here we go again with the NRA telling our elected officials what's good for us. Well guess what NRA? What's good for us, is not letting criminals have better access to guns. Terrorist, or potential terrorist on the "No Fly List" having access to guns. That's what's good for us. Like I've stated before, I'm all for the Second Amendment. But I'm not for organizations crippling law enforcement.
