CALL YOUR SENATOR TO VOTE NO ON THE FOLLOWING BILLS :

SB2314    Julie A. Morrison    ASSAULT WEAPONS-MUNICIPALITY


This bill has come out of Committee and is currently on its 3rd Reading and may came to a vote TODAY! 

Please call your Senator NOW to urge them to VOTE NO on SB2314!!

Synopsis: Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that the regulation of the possession or ownership of assault weapons are exclusive powers and functions of each municipality (rather than this State). Eliminates existing preemption provision concerning the regulation of assault weapons.  This provision would mean, if passed, that a person may be fully legal in one municipality but if transporting a particular firearm to another municipality be in violation of that municipality's law.  The ISRA's view is that this should remain the purview of the State and NOT individual municipalities.
