Yea.....I was looking in the email that prompted me to contact my rep and now can't seem to find anything except a Springfield Armory/NRA email:
Dear Steve,
As an Illinois resident we need your help to save local firearm dealers.
The Illinois House of Representatives may consider Senate Bill 1657, legislation that could put your local gun dealer out of business, at any time!
It is imperative that you contact your state Representative IMMEDIATELY and strongly urge them to OPPOSE SB 1657!
SB 1657 would create onerous mandatory regulations, fees potentially in the thousands of dollars and excessive amounts of red tape that would almost assuredly force the closure of many firearm dealers, and prevent prospective owners from opening new ones. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) already licenses and closely monitors all federally licensed firearm dealers (FFLs) and strictly enforces any violation of federal law.
SB 1657 goes far beyond federal law and is designed to shut down as many FFLs as possible.
Again, please click the “Take Action” button above to contact your state Representative and urge them to strongly oppose SB 1657! Stay tuned to
www.nraila.org for further updates on this bill.
Talk about confusing. Do they support this bill or not?! They're shooting their own foot here in IL if so. Anyone wanna buy my XD-M?? ;)
