The masters and the enslaved.
The clause “,if the persons described are authorized by a competent authority...” restricts that right.
“Communist societies in practice have two classes: working and ruling. Apart from that, everyone is equal....”
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Communism is merely a rebranding of feudalism and feudalism was nothing more that mafia crime at a national government scale.
Read it again. I had to. Pay attention to (i) and (ii).
Ping
Read it again. The exceptions are:
The provisions of this section, excluding those pertaining to the manufacture and sale of any assault weapon in the Village, do not apply to (i) any law enforcement officer, agent or employee of any municipality of the State of Illinois
This means it exempts any law enforcement officer, law enforcement agent, or law enforcement employee of any municipality of the state of Illinois.
(ii) any law enforcement officer, agent or employee of the State of Illinois, of the United States, or of any other state
This means it exempts any law enforcement officer, law enforcement agent, or law enforcement employee of the State of Illinois, of the United States (Federal Government), or of any other state (part of LEOSA.)
(iii) any member of the military or other service of any state or the United States, including national guard and reserves,if the persons described are authorized by a competent authority to so carry an assault weapon loaded on a public way and such person is acting within the scope of his duties or training...
If you are issued an assault weapon as part of your duties, and you are authorized to load it, and you are ordered onto a public way by a lawful order from a legitimate chain of command, you are exempted. Bonus: You are also exempted from the requirement to possess an Illinois Firearm Owner ID Card in order to legally possess ammuniton. Double bonus: Most likely that assault rifle you are carrying is a fully automatic firearm and you are also exempted from the prohibition of possessing those as well.
They key phrase you are choosing to ignore:
“if the persons described are authorized by a competent authority to so carry an assault weapon loaded on a public way and such person is acting within the scope of his duties or training...”
That big “if” excludes most government employees and further is limited, even with respect to those exempted, to only when “acting within the scope” of their duties. It is, in essence admitting it - the assault weapons ban - does not apply to law enforcement types when such types of persons are acting within their official duties.
Gubmint goons “exempt”?.........
Looks like they are planning ahead, knowing when/if total gun ownership is NO MORE, Civil War III will begin. They want to be able to protect themselves from “We, The People”.
It will go over like the previous attempts to get folks to register all their weapons with the State(s) - next to zero compliance and a lot of folks citing “Molon Labe” as their code if they try to raid and confiscate the weapons.
Chitcago is lost just as is Detroit. Sotoreo’s boy still at the helm means hell for all . Get rid of that scumbag and work your way down .
You’re taking this one in the wrong context.
1) This particular bit concerns storage.
2) It says it applies only to those “authorized to carry”, meaning cops, etc., not janitors.
Like most government orgs, for those “authorized to carry” storage is typically provided by a quartermaster.
Thanks for posting.
See Christopher E. Greenstein’s comment; very well said!
