ISRA ALERT: Ally of Senate President Harmon Proposes $10 Million in Gun Control Spending Scheme
Newly appointed Senator Natalie Toro who just received a $500,000 donation from Senate President Harmon has filed a new bill (SB2619) to give the Illinois State Police an incremental $10 Million “for grants to law enforcement agency task forces for participating in programs to help reduce crime”
Now how does that relate to gun control?
From the ISP Ban On Commonly Firearms Frequently Asked Questions Page:
31) “How will this law be enforced?”
“A) Law enforcement agencies, including the ISP, are charged with enforcing the Protect Illinois Communities Act throughout Illinois. ISP will continue to enforce the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 2012 by partnering with local law enforcement through our Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force. The task force is a collaborative effort to reduce and prevent illegal possession and use of firearms, firearm related homicides, and other violent crimes. All law enforcement officers will have access to the resources the ISP has made available to the public to ensure they are able to identify items regulated by the Protect Illinois Communities Act.”
That’s right! Gun control advocates want to put $10 Million of taxpayer money towards enforcement of the soon to be found unconstitutional ban on commonly owned firearms.
Who will the ISP find to serve on these task forces? How will they pursue Illinois Gun Owners? Only time will tell. All we know is that they are coming, and it’s time for Illinois Gun Owners to unite against this kind of government overreach.
They won’t stop writing useless gun laws that don’t make anyone safer until we stop them.
