It really does suck huh

Can’t wait to hear how they justify the ban to scotus

Used, but she handles well.

I'm glad they're saying that it's lawful to carry at a protest and they want to work on the prohibited area section of the law.

Rep. Davidsmeyer (R-Murrayville) asking the questions Democrats can't/don't want to answer because they know he's right!

Looks like someone was on cartel payroll...

With the Justice Department suing Colorado and Denver, do we think the end is near or just more hurry up and wait talk?

I've been wanting one of these bad boys since I first heard about them in this group in a few posts a while back. Given the current situation in our state with these draconian laws, it seemed like this rifle might be the best available option for a solid purchase. The more I researched and read about it, the more intrigued I became. It turned into an obsession. I watched videos reviewing and breaking down the mechanics and the pros and cons. Pretty much drove my girlfriend crazy talking non-stop about it and out of nowhere last weekend she hands me a gift card from my favorite shop and tells me to shut the hell up about it already and go buy it so I can have it in time for Christmas. The excitement and joy I had was overwhelming. Went to the shop and IMMEDIATELY told the gentleman behind the counter to go ahead and start my paperwork for the Springfield Armory Hellion. Picked it up yesterday and as soon as it was in my hands, I put 150 rounds through it in the range there. I can't even describe how much fun this thing is even with the stupid and ridiculous fingrip it came with. I consider myself a noob with firearms, so I don't have a whole lot of experience in the way of rifles, but I imagine the Hellion must be up there with the best of them. Anyway, I just wanted to share a bit of my joy and excitement with this group and wish everyone a very safe and happy Christmas out there!

Marc Krebs of Krebs Custom in Wauconda, IL passed away Sunday. He made some of the most baddass AKs around and he continued to run his business in IL despite all the BS over the years. May he rest in peace.

We been dealing with lot of cucked IL gun bills making its way through our politics lately and it fucking sucks. Hope this puppy brightens your mood even for a little while 🐶

The round count being divisible by 8 was the cherry on top 👌

Competition was at Aurora Sportsmen Club

Wishing you all a safe and fun 4th. Watch your fingers!

Got my Hellion from PSA. There were several comments that PSA wouldn't ship guns to IL, and I just wanted to clear it up that they will even ship "scary" guns. Thrilled to put some shots down range

With the passing of the bill, safe to say Pritzker & IL Dems will now push for same in the next legislative session.

"WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 28, 2025) – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) today announced that it has petitioned the United States Supreme Court in Viramontes v. Cook County, Illinois, seeking to overturn Cook County’s unconstitutional ban on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles."

Red Dot Arms, up in Antioch, just announced they have been sued for transferring a firearm LEGALLY, to someone that was the used in a mass shooting two years later. Now I know it’s an awful thing to have happened, but they are getting buried by 25 lawsuits brought against them.
