Eddie Acevedo has introduced an amendment that duplicates much of what was introduced earlier in the State Senate. It does have a twist in that it authorizes a contract with a non-public third party to create and administer a &#8220;registration eligibility verification system&#8221;. It is described as an &#8220;emergency contract&#8221;. I&#8217;m sure some friend of Rep. Acevedo or one of his Chicago cronies will benefit handsomely under this contract.<\/p>\n<p>The ISRA Alert:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<br \/>\n<i>LATE BREAKING ALERT \u0096 NEXT VOTE ON SEMI AUTO BAN WILL TAKE PLACE SUNDAY<br \/>\nYOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED<\/p>\n<p>After getting nowhere in the Senate, the gun controllers have taken their campaign to destroy your rights to the Illinois House.

Sponsored by rabidly anti-gun Rep. Eddie Acevedo, the amendment would do two things to you:<\/p>\n<p>1.  It would pick your pocket to pay for the confiscation and destruction of your own guns.<\/p>\n<p>2.  It would ban more than 50% of the rifles and more than 80% of handguns owned by Illinois citizens.<\/p>\n<p>THIS BILL WILL BE VOTED ON BY THE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilga.gov\/house\/committees\/members.asp?committeeID=895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HOUSE JUDICIARY 1 COMMITTEE <\/a>ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON \u0096 YOU MUST ACT NOW! <\/p>\n<p>To help save your guns, please contact the following Representatives and politely tell them that you are a law-abiding firearm owner and that you do not support SB2899 and that you expect them to vote the amendment down.<\/p>\n<p>1.
