Look Who Woke Up

What happens when The People just ignore the law?

• Illinois residents who owned guns covered by the state’s sweeping firearms ban before it took effect last January have a little more than one month to register those weapons with the Illinois State Police before facing the possibility of criminal penalties.

  Registration began Oct. 1, and through Nov. 21, 3,439 owners had registered nearly 6,600 guns they owned before those firearms became illegal to possess or sell in Illinois, according to state records.

  While the degree of compliance is impossible to determine, the number of people who had registered through Nov. 21 represented just 0.1% of the 2.4 million people holding Illinois firearm owner’s identification cards, the state-mandated permits that authorize residents to own guns. FOID card owners might not own guns not covered by the ban, or have any guns at all.

We've written about this at least twice, and there are sites, like Washington Gun Law that cover other states and let everyone know what's going on across the country - especially in communist controlled blue states. And sites like GunsSaveLife.com have advised against any registration scheme due to Illinois commi-crats having a follow-up confiscation law waiting in the wings.

Tribune commie propagandist and police hater Gorner finally get around to covering the massive non-compliance, but couch in in "the sheep are slooowly complying" terms, neglecting to tell anyone about how the law was passed:

• an innocuous piece of insurance legislation
• stripped of all language, leaving the skin intact and "passed" thru committee
• anti gun language inserted into the carcass 
• and passed within 72-hours, bypassing all public input
• and upheld by the Illinois Supreme court 4-to-3, with two justices accepting $1 million in campaign contributions from Fatass

Typical Illinois pay-to-play corruption.
