There’s a good reason that law abiding gun owners don’t want their names on a national gun registry — namely, registration leads to confiscation. Gun control advocates immediately spout that “no one wants to take your guns” and other assorted platitudes designed to comfort gun owners about the prospect of being treated like sex offenders. And yet, from the city of Chicago comes a story of exactly that: registered gun owners having their guns confiscated . . .
In Illinois, gun owners are required to get a Firearms Owners ID card, or FOID. It’s good for 10 years, and then you need to it. But if you don’t renew your card, or if you do something that displeases the powers that be, your FOID is NULL and VOID. Which means you can’t own guns legally.
Cook County police officers have become increasingly worried that when someone’s FOID card is revoked, their guns aren’t instantly confiscated. So they’re doing exactly what gun control advocates have said that registration would never result in — door to door confiscation.

It’s unlawful for them to “regulate” a constitutional right out of existence.
Nazism comes to Amerika! Whodda thunk!
The unintentional consequences of this action will be very interesting.
With every agency (even the IRS and Interior) of the central socialist government sporting a swat team we’re going to need something a mite heavier than our Red Ryders.
And the gauleiter of Chicago is a Jew. (Not practicing, I’m sure.)
Starting with a lot of heretofore unreported boating accidents on Lake Michigan ;-)
I’d like to know how 3000 people had their FOID cards revoked? Was there any due process or simply bureaucratic decision?
Where does a local government get its authority to violate the Second Amendment? This is unconstitutional. Gun rights are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Local yokel maggots have no authority to take them away. These public servants should be doing the perp walk right now. Americans should not put up with this Nazi BS. Their rights are illegally being taken away from them.
They call it something else, and go right ahead doing what they deny doing.
It’s the American way.
Last night on Huckabee a man said even the Department of Education has a swat team. He also said the DHS DID purchase 1 billion rounds of hollow point rounds.
He has a book about the country becoming a police state. He said years ago the army started giving police departments surplus gear. When they started dressing like soldiers they started actin like soldiers.
What is their real fear? Do defunt FOID card holders magically become violent offenders?
Taking guns from law abiding citizens is a lot easier if the fuzz has a list!!
They don’t need to revoke the permit-to-own, they just need to raise the renewal fee to where people can’t afford it. Then confiscate the guns. Fees are just taxes with another name and taxes are all Constitutional, per Justice Roberts...
After last night’s broadcast I’m going to give Gov. Huckabee top marks. No one else is talking about this insidious evil scheme to read the central socialist government for war against the American people.
This government is our enemy and that includes Congress and the Supreme Court!
None of this ends, changes or gets better until
those who knock on the door start suffering
casualties and more importantly those who send
out the confiscators suffer casualties. Right now
we are in a war....the war against freedom. If the
people don’t step up and start fighting it like the true
war it is freedom is lost. Freedom is bought and paid
for with blood...and it must be maintained by the spilling
of blood. If the blood of the enemies of American freedom
is not spilled freedom ceases.
Amen. Excellent post.
Chicago will be the new Detroit....
Only if their subjects,,,,,,er targets don't allow them to do it.
