Look what's so important to the lame brains (errr, lame ducks) in the Illinois State House of Representatives. Forget the budget crisis. Forget pension reform. Forget crime. Forget helping those with mental illness or who are homeless.
Led by Chicago police officer and state representative Edward Acevedo (D-2 (Chicago office near the War Zone, at 1836 W. 35th St., Chicago, IL 60609)), the gun-grab moves to the House when the current session enters its final days.
I wonder if Rep. Acevedo leaves his duty gun in the station locker and commutes unarmed. Think so? Why do you suppose he doesn't move his official office north and east, deeper into the War Zone? Too dangerous?
I have added the political party and Illinois House District Number (ex., D-57) to the media alert received from ISRA; I've also added the titles of Chair and Vice-Chair. Online information can be read at ISRA.
Remember, these are members of a Committee. If you want to know where their districts are located, go to the interactive map of the Illinois State Board of Elections. Generally, the lower-numbered districts are in Cook County. On this committee are seven Democrats and four Republicans.
From the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):
LATE BREAKING ALERT – NEXT VOTE ON SEMI AUTO BAN WILL TAKE PLACE SUNDAY
YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
After getting nowhere in the Senate, the gun controllers have taken their campaign to destroy your rights to the Illinois House. Earlier today, Amendment #1 to SB2899 was introduced in the Illinois House of Representatives. Sponsored by rabidly anti-gun Rep. Eddie Acevedo, the amendment would do two things to you:
1. It would pick your pocket to pay for the confiscation and destruction of your own guns.
2. It would ban more than 50% of the rifles and more than 80% of handguns owned by Illinois citizens.
THIS BILL WILL BE VOTED ON BY THE HOUSE JUDICIARY 1 COMMITTEE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON – YOU MUST ACT NOW!
To help save your guns, please contact the following Representatives and politely tell them that you are a law-abiding firearm owner and that you do not support SB2899 and that you expect them to vote the amendment down.
1. Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D-57), (217) 558-1004 and (847) 257-0450; Committee Chair

Acevedo is not a cop in any real sense of the word. He is a stooge who wears a police uniform. A useful idiot that thegun grabbing crowd can march outand proclaim, " see even a cop agrees with us on this".
I could go on for hours about this asshat but suffice to say that Mike is on the right track. Acevedo is an embarrasment to all REAL policemen worldwide!
One more thing. He's on leave, he is not an activecduty copper. And he's allowed to abuse the leave system. Anyone else "on leave" as long as he has been would have been fired years ago.
Thanks. You are a mindreader. I was wondering how he could take so much time off.
You are allowed to take a one year leave. I know more than one Officer that was told that they had to either come back as they approached that one year mark or resign. No extensions, get back to work or find employment elsewhere. Unless you are a heavyweight politician.
Gus what you and your fellow bloggers need to know is that just because someone wears the uniform,star and gun, that doesn't make them a Policeman. I know several posers who have been posing as policemen for years.
