Illinois: Suppressor Legalization Legislation to be Introduced in Legislature

On Sunday, May 29, a bill that would legalize firearm sound suppressors will be introduced and considered by the Illinois legislature. This important pro-gun legislation will implement the full legalization of suppressors, allowing for their lawful possession and use, including for the taking of game.
Suppressors provide numerous benefits to the hunters and sportsmen who choose to use them. Most importantly, suppressors decrease muzzle report to hearing-safe levels and reduce shooters’ risk of hearing damage, which can occur when discharging a firearm without the proper hearing protection. Additionally, suppressors help increase accuracy by reducing felt recoil and shot “flinch.” Beginners to shooting sports adhere to a quicker learning curve on average because the muffled sound equates to increased focus and concentration on proper shooting mechanics. Furthermore, suppressors help reduce noise complaints from neighbors, which are frequently used as an excuse to close hunting lands throughout the country.
Forty-two states currently allow for the sale, use and possession of firearm sound suppressors, while thirty-eight of those states allow for their use while hunting.
Stay tuned to your inbox and www.NRAILA.org for updates when more information becomes available.

It depends on Madigan (Speaker of the House) and Cullerton (President of the Senate). They always have agendas, etc. which have little to do with the issue at hand.
They have no clue this is called corruption.

This doesn't mean he didn't. Just because Madigan voted for it, does not mean he wanted it, or wanted it now.
That is part of the corruption. They collude and plan this all out. We silly citizens think we actually have some influence after we vote.
On a side note, if you live in 62nd district don't give up on Yingling just because he is a gay democrat (that is not a slur, he really is gay). Below was his response to my email. I sent the pre-written one from the Illinois Carry or the NRA, I don't remember which. I know what I got back might be staffer written, but I have spoken directly with Yingling on this several times, and I honestly think he believes what this says.

It seems to be the job of politics to "hold things over" until the next election... except when the powers that be want to play lame duck. It all depends on the angle you look at it. Is their side going to win, or lose?
A HUGE game, never having the people in mind. Just their power and money. Yum yum!
