Illinois State Senate Trying to Ram New Gun Ban Through Lame Duck Session
2nd January 2013
Illinois is the only state in the Union that does not allow some sort of concealed carry statute for its law-abiding citizens. Illinois is also home to the city with the highest murder rate in the country.
Gee, I wonder whether those two facts might be connected.
According to the source, the bill would not include any grandfathering and would require Illinois gun owners to turn in their guns to the Illinois State Police, where the weapons will be destroyed.
I see some Fifth Amendment problems with that….
