on SB3092 - Handgun Dealer Licensing Act and SB3036 - "Assault" Weapons Ban![/b]][/size]

Two anti-gun owner bills will be heard tomorrow morning in the Senate Criminal Law Committee. SB3092 is a handgun dealer licensing act similar to HB180 in the IL House. SB3036 would ban semi-automatic assault weapons, some assault weapon attachments, any .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge and would give current owners of such items 90 days to prove ownership to the Illinois State Police after the law going into effect.

Both bills were assigned to the firearms subcommittee today.

That doesn't look too good for freedom. Look at who is on that committee:
