Remember the confiscations of lawfully owned guns which New Orleans effected in the wake of Hurricane Katrina?
The Federal Courts have thorougly bitchslapped numerous New Orleans and Louisiana officials, for both the initial confiscations and for their having failed utterly to return those arms to their rightful owners.
You'd think that such an example would serve as a warning to other cities and states, to not mess with the Constiutional Rights of Citizens to Keep and Bear Arms.
Someone forgot to give 'em the memo in Illinois.
An elderly first-generation Chicago resident was recently paid a visit by an Illinois State Police trooper. After asking to come inside the man's home, the trooper asked if the man owned a gun - to which he replied yes. The trooper then directed the individual to surrender the firearm. The man complied with the officer's demand and the trooper left with the gun. And the story gets better...
The gun in question was purchased legally by the man in the 1970s shortly after he became a U.S. citizen. When Chicago's infamous gun registration scheme went into effect in the early 1980s, the man registered the firearm as per the requirement. However, over the years, the fellow apparently forgot to re-register the firearm, and forgot to renew his Illinois FOID Card.
So...what does this all mean?
What it means to me is simply this.
Molon Labe, assholes!
Those of you who prefer freedom who are still living in the People's Soviet Collective of Illinois, need to just the the hell out of that socialist cesspool.
(UPDATE: I stand corrected, and am advised that for now, this appears to be confined to the Chicago area. But as it's a cooperative effort between Chicago and the State of Illinois, I rather doubt it'll be long before the effort seeps into the whole of the state.)
Kindly burn the bridges behind you when you come. I don't want any of the commie fucktards you'll be leaving behind to follow.
