Bruce Rauner (R-IL) issued an amendatory veto of Illinois HB 1468. An amendatory veto is when the governor replaces language in a bill passed by the Illinois General Assembly with his own language. The General Assembly has three options. First, do nothing and the bill will die. Second, override the veto with a three-fifths vote in each house and the original language becomes law. Finally, pass the law with the amended language with a simple majority.<\/p>\n<p>IllinoisCarry has an extensive post on the amendatory veto which I am posting below. It does contains things that would be objectionable in a more pro-gun state but are seen as a compromise in Illinois. This would include things like a bumpstock and trigger crank ban as well as 72 hour waiting period on all gun sales.<\/p>\n<p>From IllinoisCarry with links to their discussion forum and Gov. Rauner&#8217;s veto message:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0px;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Gov.<br \/>\n Rauner issued an amendatory veto yesterday of HB1468. The bill sent to<br \/>\nthe Governor&#8217;s desk 60 days ago with a veto proof majority would have<br \/>\ncodified into law, for the first time in IL history, a broad brush<br \/>\ndefinition of &#8216;assault weapons&#8217;. As we had hoped, he stripped the<br \/>\n&#8216;assault&#8217; language out of the bill and instead opted for a 72 hr.<br \/>\nwaiting period on all gun sales rather than risk law abiding gun owners<br \/>\ngetting caught up in a felony trick bag set up by anti-Second Amendment<br \/>\ndemocrats. In a surprising move, the amendatory veto also included<br \/>\ninstituting the death penalty for mass killers, freed up local revenue<br \/>\nto fund resource officers and mental health workers in our schools, a<br \/>\nban on bump stocks, and set the framework for limiting people who are a<br \/>\ndanger to themselves or others from having access to firearms.&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0px;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0px;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">With<br \/>\n the veto, the Governor protects Illinois gun owners from a&nbsp; gun<br \/>\ngrabbing scheme which would have made firearm restraining orders easy to<br \/>\n obtain, virtually no-penalty for false testimony, and taking firearms<br \/>\naway from nearly anyone by almost anybody for any reason. With the<br \/>\namendatory veto, it becomes a roadblock with a&nbsp; felony penalty for false<br \/>\n testimony,&nbsp; prevents vindictive grudges being used to take firearms<br \/>\nfrom lawful gun owners while providing a process to curb mentally ill<br \/>\nrespondents &#8211; like the Parkland High School and Waffle House killers &#8211;<br \/>\nwho are a danger to themselves or others from legally possessing<br \/>\nfirearms . It also provides a clear and timely process for restoration<br \/>\nof&nbsp; rights when a person is no longer a danger.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0px;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0px;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The full text of the veto can be <a href=\"http:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=54300734&amp;msgid=1534852&amp;act=7K7Y&amp;c=311108&amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ilga.gov%2Flegislation%2Ffulltext.asp%3FDocName%3D10000HB1468gms%26GA%3D100%26SessionId%3D91%26DocTypeId%3DHB%26LegID%3D101958%26DocNum%3D1468%26GAID%3D14%26Session%3D\" style=\"color: #0000ff!important;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">viewed here<\/a>.&nbsp; Discussion of the veto can be found on IllinoisCarry&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=54300734&amp;msgid=1534852&amp;act=7K7Y&amp;c=311108&amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fillinoiscarry.com%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D68945%26p%3D1153329\" style=\"color: #0000ff!important;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">discussion forum<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
