Once again, the Illinois legislature assumes they can pass
bills without notice and without input from law-abiding residents. If you have not already contacted your legislators, please do so. We encourage you to also file a witness slip with testimony of opposition (link below). Enough is enough.
HB218 Amendment 1 attempts to redefine the entire basis of the Consumer Fraud Act by proclaiming that owning,
selling, manufacturing, promoting, or marketing a legal firearm is a violation of the Consumer Fraud Act if a bad guy somewhere out in the stratosphere uses the gun for a bad intention.
It is specifically designed to allow the Attorney General to go after manufacturers, dealers, and even private citizens when a criminal misuses a gun.
This amendment, like many others, is being brought forward without any conversations or input from actual FOID-carrying gun owners. When will the members of the General Assembly just stand up and
admit their number one goal is to strip every Illinois gun owner of their right to bear arms?
Stand up AGAIN and let them know that enough is enough! File a witness slip in opposition of HB218 here:
