Oh, you’ll be soooo much more safe when you’re unarmed people. Just look at Australia to see how much safer you’re going to be. That’s sarcasm btw. You’ll be safer living in Afghanistan than Chicago.
Two things to do immediately.
1) Approach a federal judge with a request for an injunction against this law based on the argument that it is “unconstitutional on its face”, the injunction to take place the minute the law is signed by the governor.
2) Immediately target the weakest and poorest of the Illinois Democrat legislators supporting this with an election recall, by simply taking out the petition forms against them. *They* will hear about it, and quickly, and it will terrify them.
Gun bans have such a great history of effectiveness. After all, look at the amazing success Chicago has had pacifying its streets.
What this will do is invite criminal elements of all types to move there and set up shop..fertile ground cultivated by corrupt liberal politicians, crappy schools churning out dumbed-down thugs by the truckload, gang culture rampant in the prison system, and to top it all off, a disarmed populace... hell, why wouldn`t they.. how could they resist the temptation?
Is there any way to sell Illinois short? Because the state is now a true banana republic with snow.
Illinois California in the mid west.
Protecting the Chicago Mob and their drug running, gang bangers at all costs.
“Middle of the night legislation by corrupt politicians. It has to be stopped in this lame duck session.”
No one has made them uncomfortable enough to get their attention yet. I predict, eventually, someone will get fed up enough to commit murder against a politician or bureaucrat and then all hell will break loose. They know this and have been gearing up for it with increasingly restrictive laws, militarized police and stifling surveillance. The “war on terror” was a wonderful excuse to wage a war on America and they’re going to need a bigger war soon to keep our minds off what’s going on here. Even the Broncos fans are starting to wake up.
Defeat this legislation as it stands!
Negotiating is a waste of time and purpose.
There are NO compromises to be had.
Sometimes I wonder if these thug Chicago politicians are pushing this to satisfy their end of some quid-pro-quo agreement with organized crime and gangs. What they`re doing is setting up an easy operating zone for the bad guys by eliminating the law-abiding citizens` right of self-defense.
Lexington.
Concord.
Springfield.
If there are any patriots in ILLinois, you had better contact ACLJ and get Sekulow started on this.
Quite simply, it’s a coup de etat. We’ve been living through one since 2008. It’s about to get very unpleasant for everybody in Illinois and beyond.
“Illinois California in the mid west.”
Excuse me please...Illinois surpasses California in all the bad things that a state government can amass against it’s population. So, I would say the California is the West’s version of Illinois... ;)
Elections have consequences.
Shame on you! You used the word TARGET!(sarc.)
Just called both State Senator and my state rep.
All action is currently in the senate, the reps are not even in Springfield until late Sunday.
I gave ‘em an earfull.
Society is a much better off when a mob of “utes’ can beat you to death with baseball bats and not have to worry about getting hurt while they are doing it.
It's for the children.
I like you’re idea about recall threats. Do you have any specific dems in mind? I am an attorney in Springfield, work just minutes away from the IL board of elections, and would be delighted to stir up a little anxiety for the local gun grabbers. But I am not sure who to pick on. Any ideas?
