If I were a true American and patriotic and a LEO, I'd refuse to follow that order. Too much other high crimes in the state of Ill. for the government to worry and push their gun control crap. 99% of gun owners never pose a problem to the law for their entire adult life times.

MEGA BARF BARF BS WITH SHEEPLE BEING SERVED UP TO THE ALTER FOR THE CANNIBALS IN GOVERNMENT TO CONSUME.

Every cop I ever met would take guns, especially HANDGUNS, out of the hands of the average citizen.

While they may say "oh, I'd let YOU have one", they'd really rather nobody had guns but them.

After all, who knows best about how society should be structured...and who should hold power in a society...than the police?

They’re not about preventing crime, but controlling people.

MY QUESTION IS WHY IN God's NAME DID HE EVER LET THE TROOPER IN HIS HOUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE. UNLESS HE HAD A WARRENT THERE IS NO WAY HE WOULD HAVE COME IN MY HOUSE. IN ADDITION, WHEN ASKED IF THE MAN OWNED A GUN MY ANSWER WOULD BE THAT THE TROOPER DIDN’T HAVE A NEED TO KNOW. AMEN.

But 99% would. Our militarized “Law Enforcement” (an Orwellian term, when you think about it) is the standing army our founders feared.

Hillary/Rudy can just send the patriotic troops overseas, and have the unionized ATF/SWAT goons do the dirty work, helped by every local police and Sheriff’s department with all their federally-funded ninja gear. And 99% will do it to keep all the union benefits, plus the adrenaline bonus

Done slowly enough over a long enough period of time, they could make willingness to participate in gun confiscation a criterion for promotion, or for rookie retention

A bad sign would be the recruitment of people willing to confiscate guns from the middle class, from segments of the population which have no particular affinity for the mostly white middle class
