Only two days left to stop gun bans in Illinois!

Once more, the Fifty Caliber Institute brings us word of two bills in the state legislature that are heading to the floor for a vote.  The NRA reports that gun owners' telephone calls to legislatures have already slowed these bills down -- but slowing them down is not good enough.  They need to be stopped.  
Contact with your elected officials is again needed, if this pointless legislation is to be stopped.  Illinois residents should contact their representatives within the next 48 hours.  A phone call would help greatly, a letter or fax sent by you TODAY would be even better.  Regardless of the means, you MUST contact them once again if you wish to retain your 2nd Amendment rights!                                                                                                                                                                             Even if you've already spoken to them, contact them again.  Tell your elected representatives that you OPPOSE HB1098 and HB2414.

While both bills ban the .50 caliber, HB2414 bans numerous semi-automatic rifles and shotguns as well.  Since most fifty-shooters also own shotguns and rifles of other calibers, HB2414 is doubly offensive to your rights.  Semi-auto bans failed to make a difference in crime at  the federal level.  They won't reduce crime at the state level.  And the fifty-caliber is historically even LESS of a threat, despite what Hollywood says.

Write and call your representatives today!  Since HB2414 also bans numerous other firearms, pass the word to your fellow shooters.  Ask them to contact their legislators as well.  Even if they don't own a fifty rifle, they have a stake in this too.
Contact your Illinois representative by telephone, or use the NRA's contact tool

When you do, tell them that you oppose both bills.  Tell them that voting for the bill that only bans the .50 is not an acceptable compromise.  Too many legislators are eager to claim political cover by catering to both sides.  Too many will be tempted to vote against the so-called "assault weapons ban" while voting to ban .50 rifles, and then claim they supported the lesser of two evils to prevent the greater from passing. 

That's the logic that got us where we are today, and it's time to change it.  No compromise.  No surrender.  Shall not be infringed.  That's the message your legislators need to hear from you.
