Evanston AWB Bill To CONFISCATE Privately Owned Firearms

Tomorrow evening, June 24, the Evanston City Council is proposing to pass the most DRACONIAN AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL "AWB" in the United States...its provisions include the confiscation of semi-automatic rifles owned by private citizens with no grandfathering of ownership it says

9-8-15: CONFISCATION AND DISPOSITION OF ASSAULT WEAPONS (A) Any assault weapon possessed, sold or transferred in violation of Section 9-8-14 is hereby declared to be contraband and shall be seized and disposed of. Whenever any assault weapon is surrendered or confiscated pursuant to this Section, the Evanston Police Department shall determine whether such assault weapon is needed as evidence or warrants further investigation and if the same is not needed as evidence, it shall be destroyed.

This odious action is being undertaken while the Cook County Blair Holt AWB is in its sixth year of litigation in the Courts http://www.isra.org/cook_county/index.html

If you believe in the 2A we need a HUGE turnout at the Evanston City Council Hearing June 24, at 7PM at the Evanston City Hall....try to come 45 minutes early and sign up to speak...we need to make our voices heard. If they pass this ordinance, we are prepared to file a lawsuit in Federal Court to prevent it from becoming law...just as was done after the SCOTUS decision in Heller. The NRA and Second Amendment Foundation backed that litigation and we expect them to join again this time
