Save your guns Illini !!

[Okie]

The 2004 Daley "Assault Weapons" ban has been assigned a hearing date before the Illinois Senate Judiciary Committee.

Senate Bill 2561 will be debated before the committee on Tuesday, February 24, 2004 at 3:30 PM.

If SB2561 is passed, most, if not all semiautomatic rifles and shotguns will be banned and you will have 90 days to surrender your guns to the police or be subject to forced confiscation procedures.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO SAVE YOUR GUNS:

1. Call the following Senators and thank them nicely for their past support of the right to keep and bear arms. Tell them that you are against SB2561 and that you would like them to vote against it when it comes before the Judiciary Committee
