I've got bad news if you live in Cook County.
Your right to keep and bear arms is about to be severely restricted again.
Anti-gun politicians are going after firearm dealers in the hopes of disarming more law-abiding citizens. They believe if they make it more difficult, if not impossible, to sell guns to honest citizens, then honest citizens will end up disarmed as the supply of firearms is choked off.
To buy a gun:
you'll pay a new $50 per gun tax
you'll fill out new and redundant paperwork
you'll be fingerprinted
you'll have to turn over your medical records and surrender your privacy
you'll have to pay for a dangerous gun-locking device
(As many already know, criminals want your safety locked up so that when they break in to your home you won't have a firearm available to defend yourself or your family.)
Cook County also wants to limit and ration your gun rights to "one gun a month" as they tax you $50 for the privilege of enduring their intrusive government investigation of your private medical history and personal life. This limit applies to any type of firearm, not just handguns.
The Finance Committee and the Law Enforcement Committee of the Cook County Board of Commissioners have scheduled joint hearings to discuss "Communications Numbers 229244 and 229245." These measures are amendments to the so-called "The Cook County Firearms Dealer's
License and Assault Weapons Ban Ordinance." You can review the specifics of these new anti-gun proposals at http://www.co.cook.il.us on the Cook County website.
This alert lists the Commissioners with their contact information. Also included is a list of Public Hearing Dates.
Please contact your Commissioners to oppose this anti-gun scheme. Call to get a place to speak at one of the two remaining hearings.
Better yet, get your family and friends to write, call and fax their opposition to more pro-criminal/anti-gun legislation.
