Coincidence

No, not a conspiracy.  A coincidence.

Conspiracy just isn't required of the left.  They're indoctrinated by universally leftist colleges, take in from a universally left-wing media, and universally share a leftist delusion of utopian fantasies.  Especially when that fantasy dances with the thought of confiscating guns. 

Found at Captain's Quarters, we have here Mr. Dan Simpson, who is on the editorial board of the Toledo Blade.  Mr. Simpson fantasizes about the processes for disarming America.

Dan's fantasies are already in action in Illinois, as illustrated in the preceeding post.

Coincidence.

The disarmament process would begin after the initial three-month amnesty. Special squads of police would be formed and trained to carry out the work. Then, on a random basis to permit no advance warning, city blocks and stretches of suburban and rural areas would be cordoned off and searches carried out in every business, dwelling, and empty building. All firearms would be seized. The owners of weapons found in the searches would be prosecuted: $1,000 and one year in prison for each firearm.

Clearly, since such sweeps could not take place all across the country at the same time. But fairly quickly there would begin to be gun-swept, gun-free areas where there should be no firearms. If there were, those carrying them would be subject to quick confiscation and prosecution. On the streets it would be a question of stop-and-search of anyone, even grandma with her walker, with the same penalties for "carrying."

Sounds disturbingly like the CAGE unit and it's systematic effort to disarm as many Illinois residents as possible. 

The Chicago Police Department and the Illinois State Police have teamed up to make good on Mayor Daley's pledge that, if it were up to him, nobody would have a gun. Daley and his elite "CAGE" unit are apparently taking advantage of gun privacy loopholes to pinpoint certain individuals for inclusion in the confiscation program.

Mr. Simpson does indeed not only forget that pesky Second Amendment, as Captain Ed so adroitly points out. 

What he also forgets is that out of the hundred and fifty some million gun owners in the United States, that a small but significant percentage of us won't just stand there and passively accept confiscation.  Call us One Percenters, ifyou will.

That's about one point five million pissed off, armed and highly motivated Citizens.

Once again, it bears repeating:

Molon Labe, assholes!

Hey Jim, great post!

Try living up this way (yeah I know I live 90 miles west of Chicago, but it's close enough). Hizonor, Da Mayor, proves you can be even more corrupt then his father, and more heavy handed (remember Meig's Field?) but not have nearly the same class, or charisma. His dad Richard J Daley, had the power and used same. But there was no doubt in his mind or anyone else's, he WAS Da Mayor. Daley *lite* seems to constantly need to re-assure himself he's "Da Mayor". So, one day you wake up and there is no Meig's Field. Or he has a burr in his saddle about guns (handguns in particular) and *poof* no more handguns for the good people of Chicago (though it doesn't seem to have appreciably lowered the amount of same in the hands of those who want to use guns for evil.

In short, The father would never had done this, he was of that generation who saw first hand what happens when a country/government removes the citizen's right to defend themselves (both German and Russian versions). The son for heaven knows what reason(s) hasn't or won't learn that lesson. And the sad thing is We The People are the real losers in the end.

Molon Labe indeed.

PS: there is still some hope for the rest of the state especially all points south of Interstate 80.
