·         ANTI-GUN BILLS INTRODUCED IN ILLINOIS . . . Efforts are under way in the Illinois Senate to pass firearms-microstamping legislation (SB 3425), while in the Illinois House a bill (HB 180) has been introduced that would establish a state-based licensing system for FFLs selling handguns. NSSF has sent letters of opposition on behalf of itself and the Illinois Association of Firearms Retailers for both bills. NSSF will also be issuing a legislative alert urging all sportsmen and gun owners to voice their opposition to these anti-gun / anti-business bills. http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103049854127&s=47963&e=001O4VKck0ahCJZldfrUcoBlyn-MiySecGfTYdM_m4sPq_042WyrZyzDgj-mqTHuazq-BGzAMJKxnhheHGAtiuOp7c-StvE6MCWazkCIEHO3lHUrGHMSfQfWMcPvRSn7SEAGfuNILfrMSNb9mNKTMmtaxeAz73NP7ZcI8gb1Zsi83hIkLBscM7qhg== - Learn more .
