Whereas: HB-1177 is another attack on my gun rights that would raise the sales tax on gun sales by 3.75%, giving Governor Pritzker an estimated $10,000,000 to use attacking law abiding gun owners and the Second Amendment; and
Whereas: HB-1177 would do nothing to stop the violent criminals who are raping, murdering and robbing their way across the State of Illinois. Like the rest of Pritzker’s gun control, this legislation only harm law abiding citizens; and
Whereas: HB-1177 further demonizes gun owners, trying to tax and blame us for the actions of violent predators; and
Whereas: If Pritzker or the legislature wants to lower violent crime you should pass Stand-Your-Ground law and let Illinoisians defend themselves in public!
Therefore: As a voter in Illinois, I am urging you to vote no on HB-1177 whether it’s offered as a standalone bill, or as an amendment to another bill!
