Here we go again:

I just got this off the RTKABA web site. The Cook County, IL Comissioners are proposing gun control legislation that if passed will close down all gun shops plus ban and confiscate most guns owned by citizens of that county. They have set up a telephone poll to guage voter support for the legislation, but voting is not restricted to county residents. You can call 1-312-603-6400 and press 1 at the prompt, then 1 at the next prompt and 2 to vote against the legislation. I know politics is a crooked as a snakes back in Illinois, but let's try to help our fellow gun owners if we can. Most cell phones have free long distance and it just takes seconds to vote. We can take the old Chicago line to "Vote early and vote often" and maybe shove it in the appropriate orifice in Cook County, IL.

We won't see any positive change in gun laws in Illinois until we-the-people of Illinois break the stranglehold the Chicago politicians'  has on the state.

Got er done, this morning, Jim. I'm going to email a link to everyone I know. Perhaps you could get in touch with gun clubs, ISRA, and the NRA and gather more support, there?

Already done. As I figured they were already aware of it and sent out e-mails a while back. I contacted ISRA and NRA/ILA as well.

I've received nothing from ISRA or NRA? I belong to both as a life member.

Are you set up to receive e-mails from them? If so you should have gotten a notice. I wonder if we will hear the actual total of the votes or if they will bs us. I'm guessing the latter.

I received an email about it awhile back from ISRA.  I called then and called again with this posting.
