(While elements of this bill are already law here in IL, please note that this bill specifically targets Illinoisans by making it a crime for us to travel to another state to train! Please read this email and take action! )
You and I are truly living in dangerous times.
Even while Joe Biden and the Radical Left work to ban the sale of AR-15s, they know that they have a problem since there are already an estimated 20-25 million of them in circulation.
That’s why Biden’s allies just filed S. 3589, legislation that would make it a FELONY CRIME to train with an AR-15 or similar firearm in groups of three or more!
This is not a joke.
And it gets much worse.
If you’re pressed for time, please make sure that you sign your petition against S. 3589, so Senators Durbin and Duckworth and your Congressman) know that you demand they oppose this bill!
The arrogance of this bill is hard to overstate.
The title of the bill is “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act of 2024.” To Biden and our want-to-be overlords in D.C., anyone who trains with an AR-15 with more than two of their friends is engaged in paramilitary activity!
Biden wants to prevent that or arrest us for this ‘crime.’
Specifically, S. 3589 would:
- Criminalize groups of 3 of more people training with an AR-15 or any other firearm that holds over 10 rounds of ammo.
- Criminalize going out of state to receive firearms training, something that countless gun owners do every year.
- Criminalize training with magazines that hold over 10 rounds of ammunition, which are all modern rifles and handguns.
- Allow Merrick Garland to sue you in civil court in advance, meaning that whatever happens you’ll wind up broke.
This bill makes clear what we’ve all known for a long time: Joe Biden considers proud gun owners like you and me to be enemies, enemies that he needs to crush using the power of the state!
S. 3589 was just filed.
The co-sponsor push is just beginning in the Senate.
We’re told that a House companion bill may be filed very soon.
While I have no doubt that Senators Durbin and Duckworth would happily vote for this bill, it’s an election year, and Senate Democrats are worried backing this may cost them in November.
We need to confirm that fear, by pouring on the pressure right now! If Senate Democrats understand that this bill may cost them their majority, this bill will never advance to the floor!
Sign your petition right away!
Once your petition has been signed, please consider chipping in a donation of $100, $50, $25 or some other amount to make sure that we can get more gun owners involved in this fight!
I’ve been involved in the fight for gun rights for a very long time and I’ve never seen attacks like this coming from our own government. I doubt you have, either.
Our children and grandchildren are counting on us to crush this bill and preserve freedom for their generation.
Please take action today!
For Illinois,
Aaron Dorr
Executive Director
