State lawmakers are scheduled to consider stricter firearms policies when they return to their respective capitol buildings in January.
In Illinois, a bill introduced by a Democratic state lawmaker in late December would revoke a citizen's firearms owner ID card and result in the seizure of the individual's firearms, if the person's name is added to the FBI terror watch list.

We can counter by outlawing security guards of any kind from carrying weapons in defense of government officials in New York.
Bloomberg doesn't mind taking away our guys because he's surrounded by men carrying guns - protecting him. He's an assh*le.
Bloomberg feels those with enough money to hire guns can be safe and the rest of us should be stripped of our right to protect our families. We need to fight back in a way that will hurt white liberal elites with their hired guns and take away their safety like they're trying to take away ours.
Michael Bloomberg Gives Me Hemorrhoids Nanny State PING!
The Progressives want a civil war.
They’ll change their minds when they get one.
That would be a great poison pill to tuck in in a rider...
It would ensure that government employees are excluded from the list, if they are not currently.
One set of laws for everyone. Even royalty (since the Magna Carta) was not supposed to be an exception--and in America, we have no royalty.
