Chicago Disarmament Plan...?

Post by TunnelRat »

U.S. Newswire wrote: CHICAGO, Sept. 8 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):

The Cook County (IL) Board failed to act today during its regularly scheduled meeting on a proposal that would result in the banning and forced confiscation of various types of firearms owned by law-abiding county residents. Although no action was taken today, the proposal's sponsor, Commissioner Larry Suffredin, indicated that he would push forward with his plan to have a vote taken on the matter in the near future.

Although "the banning and forced confiscation of various types of firearms owned by law-abiding county residents" hasn't happened yet, clearly there are some politicians who would like to see it. :(
