Dear Jim,
I’m hoping that you will help me get the word out nationwide on this:
As many celebrate the passage of Concealed Carry in Illinois it comes with a very heavy price. Municipalities have 10 days from the law’s enactment to pass their own “Assault Weapons” bans. Many of us in the suburbs of Chicago will face a choice in 90 days to move our weapons somewhere else, render them permanently inoperable or turn them over to the police. Lets call it what it is, Confiscation!
No grandfathering, straight up outlawing of previously lawfully owned rifles and standard capacity magazines. It doesn’t spell out that they are going to come kick in our doors but it certainly makes it a possibility.
Please withhold publishing my name I have not decided what my course of action will be. The crooks who run Illinois are dishonorable and tyrannical and I very much fear for my safety as I exercise my 1st Amendment right while trying to do some small thing to try and save our rights under both the Second and Fourteenth amendments and for good measure I’m sure they will violate a couple more amendments along the way!
Thanks! – Fearful in Illinois
