Hmm......another transplanted St. Louisan perhaps?.....

All I know is that if they pack up and leave my next firearms purchases will be directed towards them. I have been thinking about going for a FN fnp9, but I would definately have to lean towards another RRA AR, or maybe a Springfield 1911........

The reason Barrett made such a splash is because he is the leader in .50s

Is there an echo in here

Tell ya what...

The gun manufacturers oughta sit down at a nice big conference table, and discuss getting a group rate on moving their machinery and warehoused goods to another state.

Once you are facing a threat that is this serious, meaning imminent danger vs. a handful of windbag politicians... you know its coming sooner or later.

Every year in my state I hope it'll get better. "Maybe tomorrow they'll wake up" just prolongs the inevitable. GTFO NOW! Every time I vote I think I'm making some small difference, but every year NY is proving me more and more wrong, with increasing numbers of complete fucking morons. And oh what a jam we're in these days! I'm pinching pennies and saving up to GTFO! ASAP!

For that matter, if we all ended up in the same 3-4-5 states, we'd have majority rule there, hands down. I believe thats what needs to happen. That way, at least when they come to get em'... I'll have some neighbors I could trust and count on. Spread out like we are now, we're pretty much impotent... the proof is in the elections - CA, NY, MA, MD, NJ, etc...

Come to Columbia, avoid STL and KC .....

That way we can add them to the list like MidwayUSA, RedStarArms, and Graf's (ok, they are 40 miles away, but still in the neighborhood).

You know, I used to say that Illinois residents are no different than KY, IN or MO residents (our neighbors with CCW) and as such, there was no reason not to trust us with CCW as well, like residents in 46 other states.

After seeing what happened the last few elections in IL, I'm now convinced that Illinois residents - on the whole / on average - MUCH less sophisticated and intellectually gifted than residents of KY, AR, WV, and the rest of those 46 states with some form of CCW.

For those of you in Rio Linda, Illinois residents are, in general, fucking stupid as hell and don't deserve the right to vote, much less carry licenses.

Any state that would go 60+% for Kerry has to be fucked up.

John
ps. yes, I live in this shithole state.

Freedom is being lost in another state in this country and how many posts in this thread are about running away from those who would take their rights and property?

I can only hope that those making such comments are the 8th graders that frequent this site. Instead of calling your governors to instruct them make business arrangements with Mark Westrom, how about you call some of the cosponsors of this bill and give us a hand, as many of us have done for you in the past.

Hopefully in twenty years we wont all be living in Montana...

Boys one of the other provisions of this bill is that GUN OWNERS have 90 days to TURN IN , OR DESTROY all ASSAult weapons & hi cap. feeding devices over 10 rds. --- this sounds like a "win"win" for the scumbag trial lawers that give all the $$ to the dems --- cus how many people are actually gonna stand in line and "turn in" their gear that they paid good money for , and is nobodys business they own in the first place , --- Do gun owners have to be in "fear" shooting a AR-15 at a public range in Illinois if this passes - that some ATF , or other cop will tap them on the shoulder , and say "your under arrest" ?

I would hope IL residents are making calls and writing letters as I am.

However, once its signed into place, its all said and done. California and New York are doing a real good job getting rid of their bans.

Once it is in place, it is the green light to move.

Yes.

I am long passed believing the old "No cop is going to enforce that law, they know it's unconstitutional" BS that people believe.

It only took New Orleans to see that a elected offical can wave his finger and have firearms confiscated from law abiding citizens. It wasn't a bill that ordered them to do it but a knee jerk reaction.

This is an actual bill outlining that firearms are not deemed necessary for you to have anymore.

I would like to be the first Alaskan to invite all of the aforementioned firearm manufactures up here to the Great State of Alaska.

Along with great support you have a willing work force and great gun laws. We will even toss in some great fishing and hunting. Leave the Gov. of Ill. all to himself in his own stupidity.

For the same reason Commifornia allows San BANfrisco and Lost Angeles to dictate their legislation. F*#@ing Liberals!

I FIRMLY believe that if these states want to ban the sale or manufacture of firearms for civilians, the Gun Manufacturers should STOP all sale to any government agency.

If we "The People" can't have them, then neither shall the agencies that govern us. It is hypocrisy at its worst. I love our country, but I am so sick and tired of them systematically and illegally punishing law-abiding citizens.

I was thinking the same thing, the manufacturers should form a union of sorts, and any state, city, or other goverment agency, that tries to prohibit, or threatens a liability legal action, should be boycotted by all manufacturers, or just don't bid on their contracts. If a manufacturer "scabs", let it be known publicly, and then gun owners should boycott them. I'm very happy to hear of the stand they have made, and hope it works, and they don't have to move, this makes me feel even better about buying a SA.

ETA: Move'em to IN, I'll get trucks and help'em! Oh and RRA should nullify ALL warranties on their Illinois State Police patrol rifles and refuse service and sale to any IL agency. If they did that , I'd purchase two rifles just to start the ball rolling on offsetting the business they would lose!
