Our friends at Illinois Carry have compiled a list of towns considering local bans on America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15 and similar guns under Illinois’ home-rule provisions.
Banning America’s favorite rifle is as un-American as banning America’s favorite pastime, baseball.
It’s time that we, as gun owners, act.
These IL Communities Voting To
Ban Your Firearms
As Early As Monday, June 17th!!
(Illinois Carry) – Gov. Quinn, Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon and anti-gun state legislators are urging home-rule communities to ban commonly owned, utility semi-auto firearms before the new Right to Carry law if passed, becomes law. The new law would provide a limited10 day, one time only, window for passage of such a ban. The law will prevent any future bans from being passed so the anti-gunners are pushing hard to get as many bans in place as possible as quickly as possible.
If you live in one of the communities listed in this alert, please attend the village/city meeting and voice your opposition to any ordinance banning firearms, firearm accessories, and/or magazines in your community!
Let’s stop these bans in their tracks! Attend your city council meeting. Remember to keep your statements short and to the point. Be respectful but firm in your resolve. Remember to ask the council these two important questions:
1. What are the current statistics of these particular firearms being used in crimes in your community?
2. Does your community have the financial resources to set aside for funding a legal defense of the ban in a court challenge?
The meetings are open to the public, plan to arrive early to be sure you get a seat. If you cannot attend, please contact your council members and let them know the people in your community do not want any further infringements on their right to keep and bear arms!

probably more busy at this than balancing the budget
I don’t recognize the names of any of those towns but I’m guessing most of them are in the northeast part of the state?
