Greg Bishop started Monday morning off discussing Illinois new “Ammo Purchase Registry” concerns, along with the leak that the governor planned to tout made-up compliance numbers on gun registration. Well worth the watch.
In short today was a bad day for the governor. While I have no doubt few if any of his inner circle read GSL’s website, I have no doubt they listen to Greg Bishop. Their plans for a December 5th press conference touting a 78% compliance rate on gun registration just went out the window this morning.
In fact, at this point it doesn’t matter what Governor Pritzker says, people will look at it with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Sorry, Gov.
Not sorry.
Great question caller…. “What is the registry supposed to do ?” It won’t lower crime and it can only get bigger when the ISP add more guns every October. A big thanks to Greg Bishop for always having great coverage and info about all the 2A issues. I check out his show online every day I can. Mr. Bishop and GSL are a great combination. Unfortunately just about every other morning show is always a thumb sucking cuckold preaching communism.
I know a LOT of gun owners. I don’t know ANY who are registering. The situation is helped when one has friends in the semi-free state of Wisconsin who are avid shooters and have extra room in their safe. Not Liberty either.
Greg Bishop asks the questions 99% of the MSM won’t. Love the guy. I also like that he puts up relevant segments, because I don’t listen to over-the-air radio at all since a month or two after Saint Rush died. Music on radio? Hell, I don’t even listen to satellite radio anymore. I prefer no commercials and controlling my own playlists.
Greg has a big following in Springfield as sort of the on air counter balance to CapFax. He tries to be fair and balanced.
Any lawyers lurking? I would like to see someone mount a federal challenge against the ammunition registry law, and particularly the prohibition against out-of-staters shipping ammo into IL.
I submit that the requirement violates the Dormant Commerce Clause. Interstate Commerce is exclusively within the authority of COngress, so-called “plenary” authority. I don’t see how Illinois can regulate what is purely interstate commerce.
Article I, sec. 8, cl. 3 of the Constitution gives this power exclusively to Congress:

And Justice Thomas is really hep about the dormant commerce clause of late.
SOmeone please sue before I have to!
