CHICAGO, March 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):

The ISRA is calling upon state lawmakers to reject a plan to register Illinois gun owners in the same manner that sex offenders are cataloged. The proposal is part of a sweeping, statewide gun control program introduced by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley in mid-February. Governor Blagojevich has gone on record supporting the Daley gun control package -- including the gun owner registration scheme.

The gun owner registration requirements are contained in Senate Bill 1320, which was introduced this session by Daley ally Sen. Iris Martinez. The provisions of SB1320 mimic sex offender registration programs in that gun owners would be required to report to their local police stations on an annual basis for questioning regarding their firearms ownership. At that time, gun owners would also be required to sit for mug shots and be fingerprinted. If all goes well, and after the payment of a $25 fee, the applicant would be granted a one-year extension of his or her right to own firearms.

"Firearm owners from across the state are expressing their outrage over the proposed registration requirements," reported ISRA president Richard Pearson. "Daley's decision to lump hunters and sportsmen in with sex offenders shows the utter contempt he has for the state's 1.5 million law-abiding firearm owners. When SB1320 comes to a vote, we'll learn just who in the General Assembly shares Mayor Daley's views."

Since 1903, the ISRA has been the state's leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership.

Nope - it's Greek for 'Come and take them'

The phrase has an ancient and honorable history. King Leonidas and the Three Hundred Spartans. When the Persian general demanded the surrender of their weapons, LEonidas responded, "Molon Labe' - come and take them. You probably know the rest of he story.

"Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
that here, obediant to their customes, we lie."

[Noumenon]

the only proper response to something like this is to refuse to participate,and to shoot to kill any agents of the state that come to your house to illegally confiscate (steal,under color of the law) your firearms,and to arrest you.

Actually, the best response is to simply not be there. Perhaps leavea token of your esteem behind as a 'greeting'. It's better to take to the field and hunt down the ones who sent them. As long as filth like Daley do this sort of thing without meaningful consequence, well - look at where you stand now.

we could also tatoo numbers on their arms

Nah! That's old technology.

Microchips. Foreheads or hands will do.

Daley would have proposed the same thing to him and would have gotten the same results.

BTW if Jim Ryan had took on his brother George whenhe had a chance, he would be sitting in the governor's office figuring how to tax us more and steal our weapons.

Blank the State Republician branch of the Daley machine.

Didn't the Germans do this back in the 30s? Seemed to work for THEM (12 million jews and others excepted, of course).

CAMP GUNFREE.
A common sense and historically proven way to keep those dangerous and destructive GUNS out of YOUR life.
MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW!
Details below

Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?

Alarmed about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos the government allows to run loose?

Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated “right?”

While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.

At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.

The unique main gate at Camp GunFree. Most arriving camp guests never see this view from their comfortable rail cars.

Each of our camps is a gated community designed to keep guns away from camp guests. Firmly enforced security measures ensure that these dangerous and destructive devices are kept outside. Each camp boasts 24 hour, 7 day a week sentries and state-of-the-art enclosure systems, guard dogs, trenches and surveillance equipment to absolutely GUARANTEE that no firearms enter the facility. Rigidly controlled access ensures that no guns can ever be smuggled in.

No cost has been spared to ensure that Camp GunFree remains gun free.

All camp members are given distinctive uniforms to distinguish them from any gun-toting barbarians who might attempt to evade our security measures. Each camp member is also assigned a distinctive ID number to ensure that only the right people are allowed within the camp.

Room and board are provided to each member in exchange for rewarding tasks designed to provide a sense of accomplishment and to demonstrate that large numbers of people CAN exist in a gun violence free community.

Camp members engaged in one of our many fun-filled organized work activities.

The current headlines prompt us to remind you that there has NEVER been a shooting by a student in any of the camp schools and we can GUARANTEE that there never will be!!

If they're worried about dangers to the community the group that should be registered like sex offenders is POLITICIANS. No one's safe when they're around.

[goldstategop]

Good idea. And if any of them are statist they should be expelled from office immediately.

[Travis McGee]

This proposed gun owners = sex criminals law is as close to the line that I have yet seen. If this passes, it will be time for the last box.

[Travis McGee]

Ben Mitchell bump...

It's incredible, isn't it? I am going to have to write some Chicago pols into the plot, to be discussed at the White House in the past tense.

[Travis McGee]

"Camp Gunfree" is outstanding. We need to rub it in these tyrants faces.

[Travis McGee]

I won't wear the yellow star, proudly or otherwise. If that is demanded, I will go hunting on that day.

[Lurker]

Ahem, Ryan is just as anti-gun as Blago.

[Squantos]

The day I'm classed with any felon , especially a sex offender, somebody is indeed gonna get screwed and I don't need no damn firearm to do it. The goobermint that seeks to treat constitutionaly law bidding citizens as such is due an eye opening education .

Grabbers are positioning in Ill-noise for some really bizzare sh*t and shineola that the SCOTUS had better get a handle on now while they still have a say in constitutional matters.

Wow !......pissed off now and I don't even live in that socialist state ! Gonna go kick the neighbors cat donate more money to NRA-GOA-Liberty Belles-Second Amendment Sisters- TSRA-JPFO ect ect !

Stay Safe !

[Travis McGee]

SCOTUS had better get off the dime before the unintended consequences of this insanity become manifest.

[Jeff Head]

BTW,where can I get one of those hats? That's Hebrew for "Never again",right?

LOL!

[Jeff Head]

Prop 223, Rule of 308.

Bruce, get out of there.

[Jeff Head]

I am going to have to write some Chicago pols into the plot, to be discussed at the White House in the past tense.

More LOL!

[Travis McGee]

Look for a clone in the White House scene I will write today.
