Meth


It is now confirmed our legislators are on meth! The actions of the Illinois house Executive Committee by approving the proposal by Chicago’s mayor for handgun registry seems to point in that direction. This is not yet law but hopefully the main body will put this proposal into the round file where it belongs. The idea that the executive committee even undertook this measure smacks of a drug induced decision. This bill would effectively create  a  State full of outlaws as the current “legal” firearm owners would not be able to afford the price of this legislation. The amount of money gained from this will do nothing to reduce crime and illegal firearm purchases. There is no Empirical evidence that Chicago’s gun registry has caused any reduction in crime. Looking at the big picture, Legal gun sales will drop (losing any taxes associated with it). The statement by the mayors first deputy is ludicrous, all Illinois residents Must have a valid FOID card to purchase firearms and related ammo in the state, so that idea is ridiculous and irrelevant.  The part of her statement denying that this is not about restricting the rights of law abiding gun owners is equally ridiculous since only the law abiding gun owners are affected. This is another look at Chicago’s need to get a handle on reality and find another way to do the job they have failed at for so long. If our Legislators go along with this madness then we “law abiding gun owners” will all become outlaws. This should fall in line with Illinois’ reputation as the third most corrupt state in the country.
