American Thinker: It is no longer a conspiracy theory spawned by deplorable bitter clingers, but a creeping reality spawned by shootings law enforcement could have prevented but didn’t. The Illinois House has passed legislation requiring 18- to 20-year-olds to give up certain legally purchased and legally owned firearms:
A bill requiring 18-20 year olds to hand over or transfer ownership of heretofore legally possessed “assault weapons” is gaining sponsors in the Illinois Senate after passing the House last month.
The bill, HB 1465, was sponsored in the House by Rep. Michelle Mussman (D-Schaumburg) and passed by a vote of 64-51 on February 28.
After being introduced in the upper house by Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago), the bill has added seven co-sponsors in the last week. Notable among them was Sen. Jim Oberweis (R-Sugar Grove), the NRA “A” rated 2014 Republican nominee for U.S. Senate.
The NRA-ILA described the weapons covered by HB 1465 as “commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms.” The bill also requires 18-20-year-olds to forfeit ownership of any magazines that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.
Gun confiscation is here. First they will come for the young, who can go to war with guns but can no longer go hunting with them or protect their families. If you are a 20-year-old single mom with a restraining order against a violent ex-boyfriend, well, you’ll just have to trust your life to 911 as your door is being kicked in. Meanwhile, the government wants you to give it your guns:
Fox 2 reports that critics of Mussman’s bill were taken aback by “the idea that the government would confiscate property.” Mussman responded to these concerns by assuring them “authorities will not visit homes to pick up weapons.” Rather, “a first offense for getting caught with prohibited firearms would be a misdemeanor offense.” more here

Illinois…..enough said.
Take it away from the criminals. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5483671/Two-men-use-handgun-AR-15-shoot-Connecticut-deli-video.html
If they can’t have guns, then they don’t need to register for the draft. Bastards!
Wait, they tried mag confiscation in California and had to rescind the bill. There’s legal presedents for quickly getting rid of this.

“so much Crap ” how about nobody who makes the Pilgrimage to Harmony Grove
annually is allowed to posses a Firearm ?
Molon labe.
Well, if you were stupid enough to sign up for the list…
Of course… they are still wet behind the ears. So, whippersnappers, here’s a hint: When given the opportunity to pay the jizya, today, you don’t buy a “Leave Me Alone” club card. You just bribe your way onto a list.
Zealots only give up their dreams of zealotry, when they go to their glory. I wonder how you, stupid enough to already be on their list, might help them reconcile that yearning.
Totally unconstitutional. Not even a close call.
Maybe I am confused, I just read the second amendment and I don’t recall seeing any age attached anywhere. Perhaps it is a case of constitutional functional illiteracy particularly among Democretins.
Gee, I lost that gun in a boating mishap.
Some towns in Illinois need to become sanctuary towns for the 2nd. If you don’t like the law don’t fallow it.Isn’t that what California taught us.
BREAKING NEWS: Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Maryland.
National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.
Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”
Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.
During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.
Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.
Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.
And this fellow Americans, is how the American Revolution began, April 20, 1775.
History. Study it, or repeat it.
This is next from the DEMS socialist. http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/09/democrats-abolish-ice/
Between the targeting of conservative voices on social media platforms and the ramping-up of rhetoric and legislation in the wake of the shooting, it’s becoming clear that the Left is normalizing a very Hitleresque “marking” of citizens with whom they disagree.
This will not end well.
So I ask, why can they vote?

Yeah, conservatives are like deer in headlights when “their” government decides to cull them.
Oh this is going to be a brilliant voting year.
The left and RINOs insulting and marginalizing Americans to curry ILLEGAL votes and now add all of those 18-20 year olds who will vote in rage!
I love the smell of melting leftists. I LOVE how the left commits suicide. How sweet it is.
The 2nd Amendment needs to be defended with guns.
And unfortunately, that requires blood to be spilt. The Founding Fathers knew as much…
How many shootings in shitcago a year with rifles?
No need to ask more.
Thank you Gov Scott, you didn’t hold out and now every woosie state congress creep is going gun grabbing.
As there are plenty of commie states that openly violate the fed gun laws to the detriment of their citizens, there needs to be states that are 2A sanctuary states that violate fed laws to the benefit of their citizens. Where are the states that ignore the Hughes amendment to ’86 FOPA?
STARTING in 1982.
REAL Americans have been verboten in Shitcago ever since. 🙁
Females age 18 to 21 will just be considered necessary collateral damage when they can’t defend themselves with guns from violent attackers. Especially stay out of Chicago, the most notorious US city known for constant killings done by illegally armed thugs. Illinois’ worst seem to be its political, anti-Constitution hypocrites!
No one under 21 should join any of the armed forces until this is clarified. That includes the National Guard.
Between Antifa, the college Anti 1A speech facists, the gun grabbing fever, Black lives matter, the squelching of conservative voices from YouTube to Twitter – and they’re not even denying that now! – crazy feminists and whatever else is out there trying to destroy America…
Just think how slicked-up and on rocket fuel everything would be if Hill had been elected.
Of course, everything would be blamed on those evil conservatives as it all went to hell – so it’s time to ban them and round them up too. For the chill’en’s sake.
Finally.
