Illinois state legislation trying to pass gun AND ammo registration bill

Anyone in Illinois, get on your state legislators and tell them that you oppose this bill ... AND SO SHOULD THEY.

The sponsor who introduced the bill is Jacqueline Collins. Her biography reads exactly what you would expect:

Quote:
Biography: Born in McComb, Miss.; grew up in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood of Chicago.
Earned degrees from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government,
Spertus College and Harvard Divinity School. Emmy Award-nominated news editor at CBS-TV in Chicago and 2001 Legislative Fellow
with U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Recipient in 2011 of a Lifetime Achievement Award for Financial Literacy
Leadership from the Illinois state treasurer.

The above biography is from her state legislative web site, her official biography on her personal web site reads slightly differently:

Quote:
Born in McComb, Miss., Collins moved as a child to the South Side neighborhood of Auburn Gresham, which she represents today.
She is a graduate of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard Divinity School and Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
http://www.senatorjacquelinecollins.com/biography

The "earned degrees" is replaced with "graduated from;" a subtle difference that could mean she attended a summer school or a conference/workshop.

An Illinois resident might want to inquire what actual "earned degrees" the Senator possesses.

"Trust, but verify"

Thank God for LEOSA, I don't have to worry about this crap as long as I qualify each year.
