Washington, DC (TLS). This is an urgent Liberty Alert. The State of Illinois is considering legislation that would ban hundreds of types of rifles and shotguns. This bill has come one step closer to becoming law as the state legislature is set to vote on the measure as early as this week.
Observers say that the bill will create a furious fight on the floor of the Illinois legislature.
Under the guise of an 'assault weapons ban,' proponents of the measure have included hundreds of styles and models of shotguns and rifles in the ban, the majority of which are owned and used by law-abiding citizens. Gun rights groups in Illinois are crying fowl and have pledged to fight the measure with every single resource in their power to keep the bill from becoming law.
One Second Amendment advocate stated, 'This may well be our last chance to keep our guns.'
