- The Illinois assault weapons ban, or the Protect Illinois Communities Act, requires people who already owned those weapons to register them with ISP. abc7chicago.co...
“They came to my Grandfathers home when he was 7 and demanded his father register their weapons for "public safety". Then they came and confiscated them at night several months later. 6 months later he was moved into the ghettos. 6 months after that he watched as a man crushed his little brothers skull with his boots while laying on the ground next to him after being unloaded from the trains. He spent 2 years in the camps. My grandfather would always say "ill never make the mistake my father did, never let them take your weapons. I would have rather died fighting then saw what they did to us.”
“People wonder, "how is it that we didn't do something".
We didn't run away, we didn't hide. Well, Things didn't happen at once. Things happened very slowly. So each time a new law came out, or a new restriction, we said,
"well, just another thing. It will blow over". When we had to wear the yellow star to be outside we started to worry".”
Never again.
We intend to live by those words. Some people in this world have been through or were told the stories of things that happened a short while ago
To be very clear, i do not think the people that are proposing this legislation are Nazis. However, our fear is that if someone like the Nazis rise to power again they will have a list already gift wrapped for them.
We already saw how much power the state can yield during events like covid when the police literally shut down and closed businesses and limited amounts of people for gatherings all for “public safety” . Now just imagine that trump dictatorship everyone feared on Jan 6 came to fruition. They ya go.
If the state was truly worried about gun crimes and public safety, then they would go after Chicago gangs and increase police presence and pressure through out the city. But they have moved in the opposite direction decreasing police activity and funding, I’ve seen videos online of literal children in Chicago schools with pistols with automatic switches flashing them oncamera, literally children in schools. Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the state including a pistol ban and yet this is allowed to run rampant, while they are worried about and limiting what the other thousands of law abiding citizens are buying and owning.
This is not supporting breaking or not following any laws however I’m just framing a viewpoint I’m sure many people share , I will have to register in order to avoid becoming a criminal which I believe is itself a violation of the fifth amendment, this is a slippery slope and begins one new law at a time.
I think they're Nazi's. Nazi's were National Socialists. Democrats love Socialism... so politically, they're not far off.
The real dictators are in the Democrat party. Trump 2024, best president ever.
Once again they go after law abiding citizens, yet criminals and gangs run rampant.
That’s their plan to turn law abiding citizens into criminals. Remember BLM riots vs Jan 6? That’s how they treat gun owners. If you go rob a store with a gun, you walk out free as many purps in Chicago walk having long criminal records. They have nothing to worry about. But if you don’t register there will be SWAT officers by your door Jan 2024.
They always do. Government control. How about going after real gun violence and criminals first. Then we’ll talk about gun laws.
They seem to be letting criminals in by the masses but yet trying to make citizens felons
Exactly i bet not one gang member on they dumbass list
Sorry we won't be registering. Lawful citizens own defensive weapons, not assault weapons.
I hope they get you me I am going to register mine.
@@montyjackson8156I wouldn't register a damn thing.
@@billbillerton6122Why I support it, the folks I run with some of them actually voted for it down in Springfield.
@@montyjackson8156then the folks u run with are just as stupid as you are
@@montyjackson8156 You are an enemy of freedom.
Registration is the first step to confiscation
Any law that is unconstitutional is unenforceable.
No disrespect intended. "Tell that to Kate Cox."
Not unenforceable by tyranny enforcement agencies. We don’t have law enforcement agencies they enforce tyranny.
@@googlepeaceabortion isn’t a constitutional right, even more self defense is a natural born right and every citizen should have the right to one the best tool to protect themselves and their family.
@@ethanschlong4662lmao, my brainwashed dad thinks we're better off being compliant in the case of a burglary than to keep a gun in the house😂😂😂😂
Thank God the criminals will register thier guns
I will not comply
Why do you need to register to exercise a right? You don't need to register a blog.
For future confiscations. There is no logical sense in a registry besides a possible confiscation or mandatory buyback. Registration does not stop crime. At best, it may help afterward if the killer or whatever bothered to register it, but it does not stop or prevent crime.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015 confiscation = mandatory buyback
So you pass an unconstitutional law and force law abiding to become felons. Good luck getting registration
Illinois infringes law abiding citizens right to bear arms. If you obey the law but the state doesn’t want to give you a foid card, then you cannot bear arms. So how is foid and Pritzker not infringing my rights?
I don’t understand your take on how a law abiding citizen wouldn’t get a foid, I got one recently at 19 years old and it was an easy process.
@@Instynctofficial The guns are illegal to purchase. It's some garbage grandfather appeasement to try and stop the federal supreme court from stepping in and overturning a law that is unconstitutional on its face. 99% of gun violence in the state is perpetrated by gangs using handguns in chicago, this doesn't punish them, it punishes people who want to own a weapon that is scary looking to people who don't know anything about firearms.
@@InstynctofficialYou shouldn't even need a foid card.
@@Instynctofficialpussy
A lower court in another state just ruled that a law-abiding citizen should not have any requirement to be met in order to freely exercise a constitutional right. Next we will start to the left require citizens to register in order to use the 1st Ammendment.
REGISTER away a God given right?
YOU MUST BE CRAZY???
I would guess most people would wait for the gang bangers and criminals to register their rifles. If that’s successful then it would go a long way to convince the public on the “safety” sell.
Tyranny
My guns were registered with the state when I purchased them tough shit come find us
The cops can't even uphold the law I hope the try to come for mine life is getting old real fast
@@alexstrejc3004 You are about the 9th person whom I've heard actually state that. And I bet there are many more.
Just remember when you come for the guns, bring body bags, lots of body bags.
So we can put you in one.
@@montyjackson8156u sound like a real pu#@y
never comply with unconstitutional unlawful gun registration, EVER!
Why is Illinois such a terrible place?
Jb shitsker
Demon-rats
Pigster 🐷
The state is actually decent, excluding Chicago.
The constitution gives you the right to keep and bear arms and that it shall not be infringed this law in made null and void by the constitution you do not have to comply any state law that violates the constitution is not one you have to comply with let them prosecute you and then sue the shit out of ‘em for early retirement I would love to be prosecuted
For this a foid card is unconstitutional even because without one you can’t exercise your rights the right is given by 2nd amendment not whether or not you get approved for a card so glad I moved to Missouri
Weapons are already registered, thank you. I do not not own any assualt rifles in IL. Mine are all semi-automatic. This is the first step towards confiscation and does NOTHING to reduce crime. Zero. Don’t agree? Come and take it.
DO NOT COMPLY!!!
Just curious..how does gun registration prevent crimes including mass shootings?
2.5 million didn’t ask for this
No worry, only 0.07 has done so but the rest of us say we will not comply with this unconstitutional law in violation of 2nd, 5th, and 14th amendments
I am going to comply.
@@montyjackson8156go away Fed bot😂
@@stevenmoss2152 Sorry not a bot. You see the SC has allowed the statute to stand for now.
@@stevenmoss2152Already in compliance.
Instead busy going after criminals, Democrat rather go after law abiding citizens.
Completely a slap in the face of the bill of rights.
FOID cards and gun registration is illegal.
Do NOT comply…. ever. They cannot enforce mass non-compliance.
No matter. Will not comply
UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!
I say governor and lawmakers and law enforcement piss off come get it
Did Illinois really ban assault weapons?
The law, officially known as the Protect Illinois Communities Act, bans the sale and possession of firearms defined as “assault weapons” as well as assault weapon attachments, . 50 caliber rifles, . 50 caliber cartridges and high-capacity magazines.Sep 18, 2023.
I believe the gun lawyer touch on this , by saying you have this gun ( which the law make illegal ) which violates the 5th by forcing one to tell the state “I have a illegal firearm “ .
That's the irony isn't it... they think an AR is an Assault Rifle, which it is not. It merely shows their lack of education and ignorance.
Do not comply with this gun registry, Chicago. Don't surrender your God given constitutional rights.
Buy privately over state lines, my dudes.
Do not comply
I am going to comply.
@@montyjackson8156 We know Monty. We also know you would have complied as a citizen of Germany in the 30s. You already said those who dont comply should be unalived. We already know what kind of person you are.
@@montyjackson8156 how does the boot taste?
@@montyjackson8156😂What a soyboy
@@johnpaul4435 Tell me when I put it where there is no sunshine.i
have to get a card in Illinois to get a firearm?? That right there is unconstitutional.
Registration always leads to confiscation
Just register ur guns... this way when they are bored they will know where and what you have. Mine fell off a boat while in Wisconsin
Why would they ban 50 cal unless they were trying to take away the populations anti-armor capabilities? Have 50 cals been used in mass shootings? I don’t get the logic behind banning a 50 cal that’s not automatic
Th met just want our guns in general no matter the caliber they won’t stop till we are defenseless citizens
Hold the line do not comply
And so far the compliance rate is less than 0.001% bahahahaha 😂
Are the criminals required to register their ARs?
Nope they aren’t even suppose to have one
What is an assault weapon.
Why does it feel like they’re setting us up for the paragliders?
We shall not comply
Count me out, I won’t comply, pritzer can go pound sand
No one cares.
Yet Illinois is so soft on crime.
Literally no one is going to do this lol
Love Tyranny
Lawful fire arm owners have to register but criminals don't. Double Standard.
I'm hoping the law gets thrown out, as it should be, and those who complied by registering their legally owned firearms can be given compensation from the state for having their rights infringed on. And monkeys will fly out of Madonna's butt.
If there is a risk, it’s not voluntary
Illinois is so mess up AR doesn't mean assault rifles unconstitutional just sayin
Foid is not a voluntary compliance, just as he said if we don’t then they will put you in jail for protecting yourself
yeah good luck with that there skippy
i dont see any extra pins, making those semi automatic, making those not assault weapons, lawmakers dont know the difference between automatic and semi automatic yet people keep voting for them, then wondering why chicago is the way it is.
how do we fight this unconstitutional illegal law?
As a firefighter here I have to take a psych evaluation, polygraph, background check, peer/family interviews, and home visits to apply for the job. How about we make THAT the standard for owning firearms instead of THIS. One crazy person doesn’t get to take all of the rights of the people away, make it so the crazy people don’t get the right.
No absolutely not the problem is this is a right and do you really trust the government to run something like that they’ll just make something up.
No compliance and no meeting them half way
You're comparing a job to a right. Like it or not but that's how it is written in the constitution. In some countries in europe they do make you interview with a police official before they allow you to have a firearm but it's a corrupt and unfair pile of crap system. Plus the irony of asking the government (which is responsible for more deaths than all the mass shooters combined) to allow you to purchase a weapon is laughable.
Nah that's a bit much for just being a person who exists who wants to exercise a constitutional right.
Fuck no! No gun controll what so ever
There's no serial number on the butter knife, how do I register it? 😂
"The sea was angry that day, my friend."
Do magazines need to be registered as well? I read that magazines are exempt
Because virtually no one in Illinois owns an assault weapon, I don't understand what's going on here. Semi-automatic weapons are not assault weapons. Only guns that have the capability to shoot fully automatic are assault weapons and those weapons were essentially banned in 1934.
Bob Morgan should be kicked out this country! Still not complying!
Well for one thing whoever bought a gun in Illinois already registered their gun when they bought it so you don't need to reregister it in my own opinion they can say all they want but the fact is they want to take all guns away but the Constitution says different
Mauser c96 made in 1896 is a modern design? 😂
Profit motive might achieve compliance. Let’s say for every weapon offered we’re assigned 1 illegal migrant for slave labor exploitation purposes. We live in a Capitalist Society and you’ve got to give us something? These people have no legal redress, this is a gift from Heaven! Profit, profit, profit……
How can they ban something they can't even define?
Are democrats registering Jews or do they first register the guns? I don't remember the playbook
No American should entertain this. Why would it be good for the state to have a list of who owns what guns? What possible reason other than for them to surveil and eventually confiscate. Americans have a moral obligation to not comply to laws opposing the constitution.
The U.S Constitution is a "living social contract" created by our Founding Fathers to promote the Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for All (safety implied). Certain rights and privileges were included with some limits to not undermine or damage the intended purpose of promoting Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The right to "Freedom of Speech" is one example - one can not falsely yell "fire" in a crowded theater because it would frighten and disrupt the Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for others. One cannot lie, cheat or defame another because it would undermine the Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness of others. Citizens are not allowed to make, keep or use bombs because it would undermine the Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness of others. People would not feel safe in their community. It would negatively impact their Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Founding Fathers realized that they could not foresee all future events or changes so they included the means by which the "living social contract" could be amended, All rights and privileges should be re-evaluated as needed to ensure they do not negatively impact the basic purpose of the U.S. Constitution - to promote the Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for All. Perhaps, "All" should even include every citizen?
Yes it is a living document, that is why we have an amendment process. Last time I checked there have been no gun related amendments. Also basic natural rights are not "living" they are unlimited forever. Also there is no term "social contract" in the constitution....that term originated in the Communist Manifesto by Marx.
Boy do I wish I was part of the wild west era
Bishop on air for illinois gun ban news
Here is a another angle. I you are a felon you can't vote. The majority of gun owners are conservative Republican. Think of the millions of felons, by these assault rifles bans in these states that can't vote. The favor goes to the Democrats. And I suspect they will look at the voter whether they are Democrat or Republican, and turn a blind eye to a Democratic voter for felon classification.
F Illinois.
Do not comply!
Is this a democracy?
😅
Jesus
At least they are not getting banned
We register our cars and our dogs, this seems sensible.
Nope. Jon one will do it. Registries are illegal. Fascist more on
Totally different.
@Googlepeace Germans thought it was sensible as well, in 1935.
The 3rd Reich made certain people register their weapons. Months later they confiscated them. Then they moved those people move to ghettos. Then they were moved to camps.
History has proven the dangers of allowing government to acquire too much power.
If these morons actually care about gun safety then they would address the fact that the city of Chicago is currently proposing to open a city funded grocery store due to all of the stores leaving the city due to rampant crime and lack of law enforcement.
They don’t and instead target thousands of law abiding citizens rather than the animals terrorizing the city of Chicago on a daily basis.
After registration comes confiscation
We do not own assault weapons so we don't have to register anything.
Define assault weapon
Your not supposed to turn your selfs in is illegal
Do not comply
