The People’s Republic of Illinois’ Attorney General Lisa Madigan wants to publish a list of the names and addresses of all the state’s registered firearms owners. “People have a right to know whether their neighbors have weapons in their homes,” Madigan asserted. “If people are embarrassed for others to know they have guns, they can get off the list by disposing of those guns.”
The Attorney General was undaunted by critics who characterized the publication of such a list as dangerous because criminals could see which homes were not on the list and, thus, “safe to burgle.” “If there are fewer break-ins to homes where firearms are present there’ll be fewer shootings,” Madigan reasoned. “If burglars know which homes are firearm-free they won’t need to bring guns to defend themselves. Property transfers could be accomplished with less threat of bloodshed. This is a big plus in my mind.”
Madigan also portrayed the move as “an assist to the police in the case of civil unrest. If the list of gun owners is well-known the weapons can be more expeditiously confiscated. If people know which of their neighbors have guns they can help point them out to authorities if a weapons round-up is desired. There are many anti-government nuts who wouldn’t hesitate to use their weapons against what they imagine to be government tyranny. An orderly disarming of these people will save many lives. This is another big plus.”

This is just another attempt to do and end run around the Second Amendment.
Too bad the Founding Fathers never put a mechanism in the Constitution for the rest of the nation to boot out a state or two from the union......
You had me going there until I read quotes that were too stupid even for a liberal to utter. Good stuff.
Okay, so people should be ‘embarrassed’ that they can defend themselves?
People should be embarrassed that they are not dependent on the Government to stop by after a crime has been committed and pick up the pieces?
Make no mistake about it, the gun-grabbers are committed to disarming the innocent, forget about any lies they spew for public consumption.
Examples like this should make it perfectly clear what their intentions are and that they will not give up.
Better yet, why not just publish a list of the folks that DON’T own guns?
Satire now, wait a few weeks or even months and let’s see :(
