This proposed law is so fucked it is rediculous and yetthe media is in love with it.

Herr Daley must be in heaven

BTW there is NO GRANDFATHER CLAUSE

[warpedskydiver 0]

It really is a very serious matter.

Last year around this time all of the Illinois manufacturers got together in Springfield to talk to legislators about the statewide impact of such a ban and to agree to fight any legislation of this type. Many of our local elected and appointed officials went with to express that we're good people, good companies,and good neighbors. We got a lot of support from Republicans and Democrats alike, but some of that support left Springfield with legislators who lost in the November elections.

A lot of what is in the bill is copied directly from other states' laws. Some of it is peculiar to Illinois. Regardless of where the language comes from, it's bad for Illinois, not just gun-owners or the firearms industry. Part of what we tried to point out has been the significant economic impact that a ban would have on all of Illinois. As an industry, we all commited to leaving the state if a ban goes through...and that is still the plan of every Illinois manufacturer that I know of. I'm sure that there will also be dealers and distributors who leave as well...but that appears to be one of the desired poliical ends of those engineering the ban.

The side effect (that we pointed out but that those pushing the ban don't really want to hear) is the tremendous economic impact outside of the direct "gun industry". There are significant machine shops in Illinois that make parts used throughout the industry, including for manufacturers outside the state. There are the smaller machine shops used as sub-contractors by the industry in Illinois. They're all somewhat firearms related. But what about the businesses that count on the industry's business that have nothing to do with firearms manufacturing or possession? The gas station down the road where we fill up the company trucks, buy munchies at break and lunch? The doughnut shop where we get a few dozen for meetings? The car dealerships where we by both company and personal vehicles? How about the local UPS and trucking hubs? How about the print shops that do boxes, manuals, promotional materials, etc...? The guys who plows our lot on snowy days like today? The local building trades who get the call anytime one of the companies in our industry expends its operations,needs more space, etc...? The local law enforcement agencies and departments who have been beneficiaries of our products, services, training capabilities, etc...?

How about city and county governments? Loss of tax revenues will have significant impacts on them. In this area, in a couple of communities, firearms manufacturers are the largest employers, either singly or collectively.

The big problem is that we all survived, even thrived, during the federal AWB, and the folks pushing the ban don't understand (or possibly don't want to understand) the difference between it (the AWB) and what they are pushing through now. We cannot stay in business in Illinois if the ban passes...whether that is this year, or the next, or the next. If we, as an industry, have to leave Illinois, the jobs go with us. If we can find suitable locations in nearby states, most emplyees, but unfortunately not all, will be able to stay with us. They can live (albeit without their guns) in the same homes, their kids can go to the same schools, their spouses keep the same jobs, etc...But for those who can't make even a nearby move, or if we have to go further afield, there are all sorts of stresses placed on them and their families.

On the bright side, if/when Illinois tells us they don't want us, there are plenty of states that do. We constantly get offers of assistance from all over the country (okay, not everywhere) that would love to have an influx of decently paying manufacturing jobs and everything else that goes with them. Housing sales. Associated business revenues. Infusion of capital. Everything else that Illinois seems so willing to give up.

Sorry if ths sounds like a rant. We've done everything we can to communicate the point to whomever will listen, and even those who won't. It's very frustrating for everyone in our industry in Illinois and for many of our in-state and out-of-state friends; vendors and customers alike.

Lawmakers doing what they do best, spending taxpayer money working on laws that will accomplish absolutely nothing.

You'd think that people would have figured out that criminals, by definition, break laws. It's already illegal to shoot people, what difference is passing a law banning these guns going to make?

I'd be interested to see the crime statistics involving "assault weapons" in the state. I'd bet than less than .01% of gun crime involved the weapons listed in the bill, if not less.

[warpedskydiver 0]

And they would be illegally possed by a felon in many cases.

I can provide many examples of felons with Full Auto's

They even have started stealing them from police cars.

I see a sudden market for .55cal weapons developing in IL . . .

They are banned as firearms by federal law and governed as Destructive Devices.

just like bombs and grenades

[FreeflyChile 0]

As someone living in Illinois, who doesn't know anyone that owns a gun, I am just curious if there are numbers available as far as estimated economic impact.

Im not taking a side, I am just curious to know if this effect has been calculated or if it is just speculative.

I don't know how large the gun market is, but my guess is that it's substantial -- i would just like to know exactly HOW substantial it is.

[warpedskydiver 0]

Billions, did you read the post by Steve of Rock River Arms?

Oh and that's besides the tens of thousands of jobs lost

As someone living in Illinois, who doesn't know anyone that owns a gun, I am just curious if there are numbers available as far as estimated economic impact.

From my perspective, it doesn't matter how big or how small the impact is. That factor is irrelevant to the righteousness of this proposal. Being only a small impact wouldn't make it any more right.

The bottom line is that it's not going to stop criminals, and it punishes the law-abiding. And that makes it wrong, period.

If this thing passes, for the last gun owner to flee Illinois, please bring the flag out with you.

[warpedskydiver 0]

Well stated.

Thanks John

[FreeflyChile 0]

Yeah, I did... it mentioned example but no actual studies.

That's why I asked if there was any sort of concrete study about it. Again, I'm just curious, not trying to state a pro-gun or anti-gun point of view.

[warpedskydiver 0]

Last year the Illinois Firearm Manufacturers went to the governor with studies and real world data on how much Illinoistan stands to lose, as well as the fact that this law has no constitutional merit.

[warpedskydiver 0]

I will try and find the news from last years meeting.

I hope I can find the actual info and not some crappy ass coverage of it by the SChitcago media

Howis that not un constitutional?

Hi Randall,

Please bear with me for a considered response to this. Every time I read the second sentence of this proposal I keep falling off my chair laughing!

This is actually quite painful when it keeps happening!

Is this really Illinois, AMERICA!!? If not, then please stop hurting me. If so, then do the proponents of this law have ANY concept of American culture and history? Do the proponents of this law have ANY concept of the present situation in America?.. Or do they REALLY believe that they're going to turn America into "Britain" with a bit of legal paper!!?

Ludicrous.

Mike.

Edited to add: I was going to explain why this proposal would be unworkable in America and how it would harm the very people it was intended to protect... But I fell off my chair again thinking about the proposal!

They are banned as firearms by federal law and governed as Destructive Devices.

They're subject to a $200 transfer tax, registration, and other administrative hassles. Sales of new examples to civillians is allowed so large-bore rifles haven't suffered the artificial price inflation that goes with legal machine guns.

the US Constitution affirms that our rights are endowed by our creator and therefore are inalieble.

Now our foul state has determined that the US Constitution is a piece off paper to which politicians wipe thier collective asses with.

It is unconstitutional to pass a law that violates the Bill of Rights

[warpedskydiver 0]

You are correct Sir

Quote

the US Constitution affirms that our rights are endowed by our creator and therefore are inalieble.

The assertion that certain rights (among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) are 'unalienable' is from the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain and its King's Tyranny, not the US Constitution.

I didn't see the part where the Constitution declares the right to bear arms as one endowed to us by our Creator.

But I'm with you 100% on the rest of it.

Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

[warpedskydiver 0]

Simply put our Constitution is derived from preceding documents and one that is included in that is the Declaration of Independance.

Ask Abraham Lincoln.

[misaltas 0]

Not really. One broke us free from Britain, the other described how we would form our own government.

The fathers said the right to break free from British tyranny was a right given to us by our Creator. But the rights described in the Constitution are rights we as Americans agreed to give to each other.

Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts
