Arrogant Illinois State Senator Proposes Confiscating Guns

Friday, June 21, 2019 Video: Arrogant Illinois State Senator Proposes Confiscating Guns
Support NRA-ILA

Anti-gun lawmakers, including some of those vying for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, are becoming increasingly open about their desire to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens and jail those who don’t comply. Perhaps taking a cue from their strident federal allies, this trend has trickled down to state politicians.

On June 11, anti-gun Illinois state lawmakers Sen. Julie Morrison and Rep. Bob Morgan held a "townhall" meeting in Deerfield, Ill. The NRA state affiliate, the Illinois State Rifle Association, encouraged members to attend the meeting and ask Morrison about her sponsorship of SB107.

The bill would have branded many modern semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic handguns, and shotguns commonly owned by law-abiding citizens as “assault weapons” and banned them along with spare parts and accessories. The legislation permitted current owners to continue to possess these firearms if the owner registered the firearm with the state and paid a $25 fee for each gun.

At the "townhall," a constituent confronted Morrison about her bill, asking why it was acceptable for the lawmaker to push legislation that would take firearms away from law-abiding citizens unless they registered their guns and paid a fine. The exchange was captured on video by an ISRA supporter.

After pointing out the punitive nature of the legislation, the gun rights supporter asked Morrison, "If I get to keep it if I pay a fine and register it, how dangerous is it in the first place and why do you need to ban it at all? Why do you need to try to ban my semi-automatic firearms?

With a repellant smugness that can only be appreciated by watching the video, Morrison offered her constituents a flippant response. Literally looking down her nose at those gathered, the state senator replied, "Well you’ve just maybe changed my mind. Maybe we won’t have a fine at all. Maybe it’ll just be confiscation and we won’t have to worry about paying a fine."

Astute gun rights supporters have long-understood that the ultimate goal of anti-gun politicians is to confiscate firearms from law-abiding gun owners. What sets Morrison’s conduct apart is that it is an almost perfect encapsulation of the contempt gun control supporters have for their fellow citizens. Gun rights supporters and all those who value personal freedom should share this video in order to show others the arrogant indifference with which these lawmakers treat their constituents’ constitutional rights.

Lived in IL my whole life. The problem isn't "Illinois".....the problem is the
Chicago area. There ia a move now to make Chicago the 51st state but its just a move to get the attention of the anti freedom sobs up there.

35 years ago I told my DFL voting friends(mostly farmers who hunt) what the end game was. This will continue as long as any gun owner votes for a DFL(socialist/communist). Sad fact was most of the attendees in that video are there as democrat voters looking for the party candidate they will vote for, the gun owners in video most likely voted DFL and will even after the constitution is dismantled.

All the dead people and Illegals in Cook County did. It's a sad thing. He said he was going to raise fees and taxes and< never once was anything said about cutting spending. I'm in a place in my life were in can leave this god forsaking state. Just hope i can get enough from the sale of my property to by something of equal value else where.

Every union member in the state voted for him...that is the problem in that state...no matter what, the unions vote Democrap! I have a "friend" that is a fitter and no matter what, he will not badmouth a democrap...only throws it back on Bush or republicans. You have never heard so much bit*&ing and whining every time they impose another gun restriction as he does, but he won't budge from voting democrap...the union BA's could lead them to slaughter and they would follow in line. He says the repubs only care about getting rich...they now have the richest governor ever and he won't say a word about it. They are sheep and will follow what is told...even when their pensions are getting robbed! Craziest bunch I have ever seen.

This map is incorrect. WA., OR., and California need a line down the Crest Trail. Everything to the east is deplorable. Trust me, Eastern Washington might as well be a different planet from Western Washington.
 
Exactly. Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington would like to be their own state or merge with Idaho. Oregon is controlled by three counties. Lived there 31 years until I couldn't take it anymore. Love Idaho but worried about the influx of immigrants from Oregon & California. Boise is blue now. Still gun friendly. For now.
 


From an FBI report 43% of all crimes and done by aliens.
Goes to show, if we get rid of the alien's, crime will drop by 43%.
Sounds good to me and we keep our guns.
