Nov. 7th Referendum - Vote NO!

The following is a referendum that is on the ballot for the November 7th election:

"For the health and safety of children and the entire community, shall the State of Illinois enact a comprehensive ban on the manufacture, sale, delivery and possession of military-style assault weapons and .50 caliber rifles?"

Please keep an eye out for this if you live in Cook County and vote "NO." Though this wouldn't have the force of law, it would be considered by the lawmakers in Springfield when it comes time to vote on related legislation. This measure is overbroad and part of an incremental attempt to ban private gun ownership. It is a regurgitation of the Assault Weapons Ban that had no effect on crime and has rightfully expired.
