“Gun owners are tired of being blamed for every madman, every criminal, and every other depraved act the 2.5 million gun owners didn’t do.” “I’m here to tell you that if House Bill 5855 or anything remotely like it passes, we will see you in court.”
Years of attempts to ban so-called assault weapons in Illinois haven’t gone anywhere. That changed this July when a gunman allegedly used an AR-15 style rifle to indiscriminately shoot up an Independence Day parade in north suburban Highland Park.Legislators are likely to vote next month on a proposal that would ban future sales of a list of guns, as well as what backers describe as high-capacity magazines.
“Gun owners are tired of being blamed for every madman, every criminal, and every other depraved act the 2.5 million gun owners didn’t do. We’re not here to negotiate,” Vandermyde said. “I’m here to tell you that if House Bill 5855 or anything remotely like it passes, we will see you in court.” The legislation would also ban magazines that carry more than 10 rounds, an amount Weber said is standard and should not be defined as high-capacity.
“This violates the Second Amendment rights of those who are legal adults and are deemed old enough to vote, serve on a jury, enter abiding contracts, get married and serve in the military,” Weber said.At one point, chair of the Judiciary-Criminal Committee, state Rep. Justin Slaughter, D-Chicago, told the gun rights lobbyists he was sick of their unwillingness to work with them, and asked what should then be done in the face of rising violence.
Vandermyde said it’s bewildering that Chicago lawmakers blame gun owners south of Interstate-80, when residents of other communities have high gun ownership rates but don’t experience the gun crime of Chicago. “The lethality is absolutely amazing,” Dart said, holding up a switch device. “If you ever try to witness shooting with one of these things when they put it on fully automatic, the chances of them actually hitting the person they’re aiming is infinitesimal. That’s not going to happen. What’s going to happen is innocent people all around are going to get slaughtered. That’s what’s going to happen. These things are designed for that.
