From my cold dead haaaannnnnds!!!!!
Who are they going to get to pick ‘em up?
And if they don’t register with the state, how will they know who keeps prohibited firearms?
Up yours, Democrats!
Sounds like a ex post facto law. Not that such a detail would deter the Illinois legislature or law enforcement...
I’m sure young gang members around Chicago will be the first to turn in their guns.
I hate being this cynical but this may be good, because it will push even more people (including democrats who support gun rights) to the right side. I’m convinced that the only way to overcome the Chicago Democrat machine control of the state of IL is by gradually shifting the balance to the right, and every harebrained nutty liberal nanny-state crapola law or idea they have actually helps do that. Unfortunately it takes forever...
Token unconstitutional Democrat oppression. If the NRA needed to file a suit, here is a GOOD example.
The gangs in Chicago are sure to comply. /sarc
They start with a few. Only a few, everyone thinks.
By passing a law, they declare innocent people guilty, and effectively create criminals. They can then say that they are fighting crime by arresting criminals.
Their intention is to take guns from non-violent people and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
I'm sure that all 18- to 20-year-olds who bought their firearms through illegal channels or stole them will now go ahead and give up their firearms as well, just out of solidarity and respect for the law.
Violates the 2nd Amendment rights of those who the state is taking their actual guns away from.
Anybody else see this differently?
Making millions instant criminals.
This reminds me of a conversation a co-worker and I had a work recently.
He asked how many firearms did I own. My reply was “somewhere between none, and enough.”
IL House and Senate supercedes The Constitution?
Democrats...
So, the state wants to disenfranchise its 18, 19, and 20 year old citizens, making criminals out of these otherwise lawful citizens? This is beyond the buying, it is possession. End of day, either 18 is an adult or it is not. I don’t think there is a legit gray area so maybe some good will come of this by the supreme court ruling an adult is an adult, not partial. Either we do or we do not respect our constitutional rights as a group as there is nothing that says 1st amendment is only valid for certain ages, 2nd for others, etc. Legislatures want to change that, let them amend the constitution.
Für das Wohl des Vaterlandes ist eine unbewaffnete Bevölkerung für die Regierung sicherer als eine bewaffnete Bürgerschaft.
Another Overnight Felon Law hits the Books.
Can’t wait until NRA Members are hiding in the Attics of old time Truman supporting Democrats.
First, they came for the bump stocks, but I didn’t care because I don’t own a bump stock......
Florida just made an also previously legal item illegal.
