Illinois Hit Hard by Obama’s DOJ, Chicago’s Anti-Gun Agenda

Posted on: May 23rd, 2012

The Illinois State Police are pushing legislation that could have a severe, negative impact on gun rights in Illinois. Senate Bill 1034, which was introduced as an anti-drug bill, was recently amended by the state House of Representatives to cover Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) cards.

This issue surfaced due to the Obama Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ), which has allegedly threatened to shut down Illinois State Police access to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS if numerous changes to Illinois law are not implemented.

    comrade zero “threatens” the Illinois state police if they don’t implement “laws” that violate the second ammendment, (since when does the state police “implement” laws instead of just enforcing them.?????

    Ahhh…. as the Worm turns!  We can expect to see more of this type of “In Your Face” thuggery politics from the regeime that has brought you OWS and the GUN WALKING FIASCO into Mexico.

    If that happened, the gun shops in the state should be able to sell without a background check (as it used to be before government intervention). Most of my guns were purchased prior to the anti gun garbage, and the others from private parties. The government has absolutely no business knowing what lurks in my closet. This happened in England where they first required registration and then the police went out and rounded up all firearms (then bragged it was as easy as taking candy from a baby).

      When they come for our guns or threaten to jail us for not turning in our weapons, what will we do? Allowing ourselves to be disarmed will allow the Obama Communists to put us in FEMA Camps, into train cattle cars, or reindoctrination  camps. Don’t think I will allow that to happen to me. See you on the battlefield.

    In Star Trek terms, Obama is the leader of the Borg.  He believes that resistence is futile.  It is time that, “We, the People” put an end to the Borg.  Resistence is not only our right, but our duty!

    This needs a lot more investigation. When I read the word “allegedly,”
    red flags go up. If you click on the highlighted word “law”, you can
    read for yourself that there is no mention of social security numbers.
    And then there’s the fact that the IL State Police were fighting tooth
    and nail against Sec of State Lisa Madigan who wanted to publish the
    names of anyone who had a FOID card. I don’t know. Something’s not right
    here. The libs definitely have the upper hand here. But I want more
    facts.

    Am I to understand that the Illinois State Police are, in essence, being blackmailed as pawns in a political agenda being pushed by Obama’s Justice Department?!

    Does that mean that you will be able to purchase a gun in Illinois without a background check?  If that’s the case, be prepared for an influx of new Mexican drug cartel citizens in the state.  Maybe Holder is going to use this to improve his “guns purchased in the USA” statistic.

    If they come for my guns somebody isn’t going home that day.

    It’s as if we are living in a communist country. The obama administration is disassembling all of our rightsa little at a time. From what I hear from friends living in Illinois, the whole state is a train wreck, full of graft and corruption. Nobody knows where all the money is going. I remember Illinois being bad in the early 70′s.
