IL senate failed to take your rights, this time.

The Chicago Tribune reported today that the Illinois Senate lacked the votes necessary to pass their broad and unconstitutional assault weapon and magazine ban.   I suggest the citizens still hold the lawmakers accountable for the perjury they have committed, and Governor Quinn for the treason he has committed.

Keep your eyes on the modified HB 1263, and HB 815.  Particularly the unpublished amendment 7 of HB1263, and the unpublished amendment 3 of HB815.    Write your state senators and let them know their perjury, specifically the perjury of Senators Antonio Muñoz, and Dan Kotowski, should be punished.  Lawmakers not knowing the constitution or respecting the limitations of government is unforgivable and negligent.   If they attempted to do these things on purpose, that's tyrannous, but explains their fear of firearms.

Illinois lawmakers commit open treason

An Illinois Senate committee passes through strict gun restrictions, that go against the constitutional grain of all federal rulings on the topic.  The public health committee voted to go ahead with legislation that is intended to ban all semi-automatic rifles, AND pistols.   This committee is made up of the following individuals:

Chairperson :	William Delgado	D
Vice-Chairperson :	Mattie Hunter	D
Member:	Susan Garrett	D
Member:	Michael Noland	D
Member:	Jeffrey M. Schoenberg	D
Member:	Heather A. Steans	D
Minority Spokesperson :	Dave Syverson	R
Member:	Shane Cultra	R
Member:	Christine J. Johnson	R
Member:	Carole Pankau	R

The news article quotes them as voting across party lines, so assume anyone with a D after their name, to have committed perjury of their oath of office.

The treason portion comes from Governor Quinn when he made this statement:

"There is no place in Illinois for weapons designed to rapidly fire at human targets at close range,"

However, author of the bill, Anthony Munoz, who is a member of the Police Union, supports the carrying of semi-automatic handguns, and M4 rifles by police.   This is an admission that the authoritarian powers of Illinois have declared open war on the citizens.   If what Quinn said was true, and semi-automatic weapons have no defensive purpose, and are only a close range rapid human killers... then why do they want the Police to have them?    If what Quinn said is true... the ONLY reason Police have them, is to rapidly kill citizens of the State of Illinois.  

If Quinn admits they have a defensive purpose for citizens and Police, then he's committed perjury by violating his Oath of Office, by violating the equal protections clause of the 14th amendment, and attempting to nullify the 2nd amendment.   Remember his Oath, in which he swore to defend the constitution of the United States of America, even the parts of it he doesn't like.

"I do solemnly swear (affirm) that I will support the
Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of
the State of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge
the duties of the office of .... to the best of my ability."

Perjury:
In Illinois Law:

    (720 ILCS 5/32-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 32-2)     Sec. 32-2. Perjury.     (a) A person commits perjury when, under oath or affirmation, in a proceeding or in any other matter where by law the oath or affirmation is required, he or she makes a false statement, material to the issue or point in question, knowing the statement is false.  

In Federal Law:

-CITE-
18 USC Sec. 1621 01/03/2012 (112-90)
Whoever -
(1) having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer,
or person, in any case in which a law of the United States
authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify,
declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony,
declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is
true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes
any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or
(2) in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement
under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title
28, United States Code, willfully subscribes as true any material
matter which he does not believe to be true;
is guilty of perjury and shall, except as otherwise expressly
provided by law, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
than five years, or both. This section is applicable whether the
statement or subscription is made within or without the United
States.

It's time to hold these Lawbreaker-makers accountable...  

Great news! Oppression might be reversing itself!

Today a Federal appellate court ruled that Illinois' complete ban on carrying firearms is unconstitutional, and gave Illinois lawmakers 180 days to pass new laws that don't ban firearms.   Expect severe resistance from the Democratic party of Illinois, which has replaced its humanity with an eerie strict adhesion to a non-party stance of being anti-gun.   

"The Supreme Court has decided that the amendment confers a right to bear arms for self-defense, which is as important outside the home as inside," Judge Richard Posner wrote in the court's majority opinion. "The theoretical and empirical evidence (which overall is inconclusive) is consistent with concluding that a right to carry firearms in public may promote self-defense."
He continued: "Illinois had to provide us with more than merely a rational basis for believing that its uniquely sweeping ban is justified by an increase in public safety. It has failed to meet this burden."

This victory was provided in part by the Second Amendment Foundation, this is a group that really deserves support, as they fight a majority of the legal battles that are reshaping the stigmatization of guns.    

Illinois Lawmaker jailed for Carrying in O'hare

Donne Trotter, Democrat, with a history of non-votes for gun rights is now probably regretting those decisions as he has been jailed for attempting to carry a pistol onto an airplane.   You may not remember but Trotter voted "present" in 1997 on a measure to reduce the charge of carrying a concealed pistol on you from a felony to a misdemeanor.   More recently this slimy worm voted for a large capacity magazine ban, outlawing magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.  Of course that large capacity magazine ban didn't apply to many groups:

19       (d) This Section does not apply to or affect any of the
20   following:
21           (1) Peace officers as defined in Section 2-13 of this
22       Code and retired peace officers not otherwise prohibited
23       from receiving a firearm, in possession of a large capacity
24       ammunition feeding device transferred to the retired peace
25       officer by his or her law enforcement agency upon
26       retirement

Some of you may recall that the 2nd Amendment is quite clear, the right to keep and BEAR arms shall not be infringed...  however in Illinois it is a felony to bear arms in any manner, rights denied, tyranny wins.     Now a man who was in a position to make a positive change in that and didn't, is in and now out of jail for carrying an unloaded handgun through security.    The press so incompetently adds that his handgun had "a magazine clip with six bullets".   Someday, I'd like someone to explain what a magazine clip is... is it a clip that holds several magazines together?   

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe the man did anything wrong... except betray himself and the entire populace of the state of Illinois by making safe, party friendly non-votes on gun issues.    For that, he deserves to taste what the citizenry face every day in that wretched police state.
