This situation is a classic example of hypocritical politicians (redundant phrase?). Chicago politicians want to protect themselves, but they deny the same right to the people voted for them. Vote the bums out! Mayor Daly should be recalled. Chicago, clean house!

NOTE: If Chicago would issue concealed carry permits to responsible citizens, there would be far less street crime.

I read so much of this sort of thing from all over the country. I actually vote, I actually call my senator to “voice” my concerns, I actually attend rally’s, I am actually a real American….most are not! Most sit in front of the TV and allow themselves to be brainwashed by CNN & FOX instead of reading the real truth. Not what someone else says but actually read the legislation. The sad thing is that is is all available on the web but hardly anyone reads it. So many people just take what others have to say and those of us who are actually in the know well we are just conspiracy theorists. Instead of blogging on here and complaining get off your rear end and get in the game. If you actually voted for any of the monsters in office that are passing these hideous laws you should be the first one to go straight to their office with a “lawful” crowd of “concerned” citizens and “demand” you be heard and “obeyed”. I know that my senators offices are tired of hearing from me because I am regularly treated with contempt. At least I make sure I am heard….what have you done lately?

THINK ABOUT IT!

Politicians are NOT law enforcement officers–this is typical Chicago corruption! And perhaps even more important–politicians and police ARE ordinary citizens!

Rosie,

The government cannot enslave an armed populace. They have to take our means of defending ourselves (under the guise of protection) before they can truly take over all our other freedoms. Politicians are notorious for believing that they are smarter than the average hard working, tax paying, law-abiding, GOD fearing American citizen. They have brain washed the younger generations into thinking the government wants what’s best for us all and that they are just trying to make life easier for us and the young ones have never been taught that is exactly how Hitler took over Germany. Every country that has unarmed its citizens has taken their freedoms shortly thereafter. If we continue to let our children live in ignorance of our past we will be enslaved by this government of socialcommucrats or we will have to fight another revolution. I will not go down without a fight. That is not said as an un-thought out, hot-headed remark. My Daddy fought overseas to keep this country free from all enemies. Today the enemies are not over yonder somewhere, they’re in our capital making laws that are unconstitutional and therefore treason. If they don’t abide by them they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Oh, pardon me. This whole situation was brought about because the elected law makers don’t have to abide by the law.

I believe most of the folks comments herein are from good people. The problem is that much of what is said in some of these comments is disjointed and angered with underlying paranoid statements that, if viewed by the “anti’s”, will show us in a rather bad light. My friends, take some time and proof read your hasty statements, then walk away, come back later and if satisfied; submit. Don’t add fuel to the anti’s uninformed, emotionally irrational thinking process. Be better than that. Yes I believe in CCW and do carry. Until we become more than an angry motley rabble ourselves, do you expect the other side will think of us as reasonable? Join the NRA if you feel like becoming better informed and more sensible. I’ve been a member since Bill Clinton turned me into a conservative republican forever. Become a firearms safety instructor, I have. Take a kid hunting, I have. Teach and practice firearm safety as best you know how (#1. ALWAYS point the muzzle in a safe direction). Talk reason to your friends and families, not “they’ll pry it from my cold dead hands” or “I’ll give em my bullets first”, because this mentality hurts our cause. Don’t let your emotions bring you down to their level. I know that my children in the military will never come to your house to take away your firearms, because like the majority of our soldiers, they believe in the 2nd Amendment too. Have a nice day yu’all. Ron Boeddeker

First of all, Obama may be president of some country but it is not America. The media and foreign money put him in the White House but that does not make it lawful and since he has NO proof that he was eligible to be in this office, he cannot be impeached. Only those legally elected can be impeached. However, he can be arrested for much fraud and any sheriff, in any county, in which Obama is, at any poit in time, has the power to arrest him and his corrupt bodyguards and friends. Every person, elected, to any office, including all military personal and departments of law enforcement, take the same oath, “to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic” and when they disregard that Oath they are aiding and abetting the enemy and guilty of treason and the penalty for those found guilty of treason is death. The IRS, FBI, CIA, BATF and any other group harassing the residents of that state, can be denied access to a resident. There is no higher Law in the US than the sheriff and it is up to us to hold them to their Oath or remove them from office. Learn about an organization called OathKeepers.org and become one of them. The ONLY way the central government can operate at all, is because each state funds the Fed instead of taking care of their own state and NO MORE. A sovereign state can choose to thumb their nose at the Central Gov. and the tenth amendment plainly states that Health, Education, Welfare, and Family Matters are STATES RIGHTS and cannot be overridden at any time, by the Fed. or otherwise, therefore, it seems to me that the new Health Bill is actually null and void. Every US representative and US senator can be arrested, when they return to their home state, tried and convicted for not holding to the Oath they took
tried for their crimes. State Sovereignty and honest sheriffs could set our Constitution back where it belongs immediately and all the corruption in states, like Illinois, could immediately be removed from office, if you will hold your sheriffs to the job they were inteded to do. If we allow this usurper to sign the treaty, this month, that will turn America over to the One World Government, it will cost us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and there will NEVER be a way to bring it back. Sovereignty and honest sheriffs are your last hope for freedon. Those of you who refuse to take back this responsibility and duty, need to pick a country you would prefer to live in and be deported with all the un-Americans who have crossed and are crossing the borders. If they keep coming, keep a firing squard along the US border and, if necessary use it. They can clean up their own country and we need to clean up ours. Proper admittance to the US needs to be as it has always been and a limit on how many every year.

My first political blog or any blog, just cannot hold back any more!!!!!

The bottom line is that we the people need to take our country back, the government has had it for much tooooo long. A revolution is necessary, to start; we need to limit the terms of all politicians; no special deals, they get what we get; they pay for their health care just like we do; no pork accepted; all bills published and reviewed 60 days prior to action; and we develop a process to impeach any in congress that are not executing the will of the people.

What the government is doing to us citizens in this country right now is exactly why the second amendment exists and must forever remain.

Well, no matter how you look at it, a criminal will get a weapon to do harms way to someone some way or another. If they want to decrease crime then when a person commits murder, don’t put them in jail. After he has been proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt put them to death. The courts have given criminals freedom too many times and now there is no fear for the law. We now support murders, abusers, rapist, etc, with our tax money; fix their teeth, give them all the medical attention needed, feed them 3 good nutricious meals a day, give the TV and internet, central air and heat, a good clean bed, college degree’s and much more. Now they want them to be the only one’s that will carry or own weapons. Get real. I believe it is therefore our legal right to be able to protect ourselves and families for harms way since the govn’r doesn’t want to do it for us. I believe that God has given us the freedom we have in this country and we will have to fight to keep it. We must do what we must to keep America FREE. As for as I see it, no govr’n official has any more right than any citizen in this USA.
