BREAKING : Illinois Pushing Through Frightening Gun Confiscation Law

Liberals never miss an opportunity to infringe on your Constitutional Rights.

In Illinois, they’re taking it to new and truly horrific levels by introducing a bill that would allow authorities to confiscate firearms based on petitions by family members or law enforcement stating the person is a danger to himself or others.

Frightening abuse of power.

From Allen West

In one of the least gun-friendly states in America, yet home to our leading death-by-gunshot city (Chicago), Illinois liberals like liberals everywhere persist in their belief that the cure for gun violence is to continually make gun ownership more and more illegal, never connecting the dots that criminals are called that for a reason –they break laws– so continually adding more laws has no effect on them.

A bill has been introduced by Democrats in the Illinois state legislature that would allow authorities to confiscate firearms based solely on a petition by a family member or law enforcement officer stating the person is an immediate danger to himself or others. You read right. If the cops say, “You’re a danger to yourself,” they can take it.

Illinois Senate Bill 1291 reads, in part:

“Creates the Lethal Violence Order of Protection Act. Provides that a petitioner may request an emergency lethal violence order of protection by filing an affidavit or verified pleading alleging that the respondent poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Provides that the petition shall also describe the type, and location of any firearm or firearms presently believed by the petitioner to be possessed or controlled by the respondent.

So under this bill, a resident of Illinois could have his/her firearm(s) confiscated if a law enforcement officer tells the courts that the person in question is a danger to himself and they need only to file a petition.
