IL Sen. Taunts Gun Owner: Forget the Fine, Maybe We’ll Just Take Your Firearms

[Charlie T Waite]

Illinois State Sen. Julie Morrison (D) taunted a concerned gun owner during a town hall by telling him she might forgo fining him and simply confiscate his firearms.

If we push the right buttons, they frequently show their real intentions.  Most of them are so arrogant that they don’t think their statements will cost them anything in the political arena.

 

 We MUST show them otherwise, preferably by showing them the door!!

That gun owner was a gentleman, to a person who didn't deserve it. 

My remark to her, would have been more in line with-- "MOLON-LABE"

The sheer arrogance of the left just ain't gonna work.

Well, just hop up here little Julie and we will have a quick math lesson.

 

In 2018 there were 2,285,990 active FOID cards in Illinois. Of these, 10,818 were revoked by the Illinois State Police.

 

Registered sex offenders in Illinois number 29,204. Of this number 2,482 are not compliant. And of that number 567 are missing. They don't know where they are.

 

The Illinois State Police, with city and county agencies, track sex offenders. The Illinois Attorney General even has a special squad to track them.

 

So if all of these agencies, combined, cannot track down 600 sex offenders, how are you going to ring doorbells of over 10,000 revoked FOID card holders??

 

I wrote about this in my column, "From the Hip", in the June 2019 issue of Gun News magazine.

 

So far, Julie hasn't called.

 

I attached a copy of the June 2019 Gun News. My column is on page 6.

I MIGHT have invited her to come try and take mine herself!!

The question might become how are they going to track down 2.3 million FOID card owners and subject them to unconstitutional search and seizure?
