Use this page to look up the contact details on your State HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE (not Senator) and call and email. JUST DO IT! DON&#8217;T JUST THINK ABOUT IT! So few are willing to go the extra step.

Don&#8217;t forget that Washington State actually passed a law banning private sales of firearms between individuals, and we all just sat back and let it happen because we didn&#8217;t believe it would.<\/p>\n<p>The SB-1657 bill would turn gunshops into a state licensed business, similar to a liquor store or yellow cab. You would have to get permission to open a gunshop and the gunshops currently open would be subject to approval of a potentially corrupt panel to even stay open. Especially in Illinois, the mobster capital of the world, it would instantly turn into a political favors game for who is allowed to sell guns. Ultimately it will be a huge hit for the gun rights of the people of Illinois, and it would drive us further down the slippery slope of 2nd Amendment erosion that began with the original <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gun_Control_Act_of_1968\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stop-state-gun-dealer-licensing-scheme-illinois-contact-state-senator-today\" title=\"Stop State Gun Dealer Licensing Scheme in Illinois - Contact Your State Rep Today!\">Federal gun dealer licensing act of 1968<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Please take the time and hunt down your friends and acquaintances in Illinois.
