Some animals...
No mention of the entourages of film stars, musicians, and other Important People, though. No doubt, this will be amended.
You can make any law that you want.
Enforcement is another matter.
I think I am going to invest in railroad boxcar manufacturers.
The way things are going, either them or us... large quantities folks are going en mass to the ‘retraining’ camps...
or worse.
This is the problem with all of these power grabs. They always exclude themselves. Congress did it with ObamaCare and pretty much every state and jurisdiction does this with the 2nd amendment. In nearby California, they’ve disarmed civilians, the ones that follow the laws.
nobody’s gonna comply with that illegal ordinance anyway
What sort of society is it when a person’s rights and responsibilities are determined by their rank in government?
This is just a theory, but I think it has some merit.
I believe the economic relationship between the U.S. and Communist China has had an impact on how people are being treated in America. The elite class are buying into the Chinese model because cheapened human beings are cheap. They are only peons.
Going is the respect for the dignity of the individual. Going are the liberties that made America great. Now individual initiative is going against the set policy and, if it does create value, it is to be stolen for the common good. The aim is to create the ideal group dynamic for the elite class to exploit as a means to line their own pockets. For this elite class, China is a classroom on how to do it. For them, because they know no history, Communism is good and something they believe will benefit them.
Convenient little loop hole.
Very chilling, but stories like these are a great way to get the republican base excited enough to go to the polls this fall. The blue wave will be a tempest in a tea cup.
“authorized to carry an assault weapon”? WTF? Have you ever seen an authorization for someone to carry an assault weapon?
It figures that a suburb of Chicago would pull off this crap. Hope their crime rate goes through the roof. It would serve them right for being stupid.
I wonder if their criminals got the message?
I also wonder how many “assault weapons” have been used to commit crimes in Deerfield, Ill? Most people have never heard of it so unless they have a lot of rich white liberals living there, they wouldn’t be a good target for the gangs from Chicago proper. Wonder what their opiate misuse and death rate is?
Fools voting for fools who lead them like the fools that they are. Makes my local Democrats seem almost sane. Almost, I said, not “sane”.
I want them to specifically define “assault weapon”. Does that mean I can’t have a BB gun with a scope and magazine on it?
Is the plan clear enough yet?
They absolutely do intend genocide and there is not a whit of paranoia necessary to be convinced of this beyond a reasonable doubt.
Just add up all the steps already taken on the way there, and ask yourself at what point they will voluntarily restrain themselves from pushing further and further and further.
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...
it seems to imply you need a license, and you need to be on the job
Time for disobedience.
The masters and the enslaved.
The clause “,if the persons described are authorized by a competent authority...” restricts that right.
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.
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.
