Illinois Gun Lockup Law Fails Immediately as Chicago Child Shot

Oh, I do understand. My issue is that we are not responsible for criminal acts. If my house is locked, does it matter if my firearm is at my bedside or in a safe? The criminal already breached the perimeter. The next thing you will see, as is in some states, your ammo and unloaded firearms need to be in different locked safes and maybe even in a different room. At what point is the infringements on law-abiding citizens going too far?

Oh, I know what will really make me safe, serializing the homemade firearms that I manufactured for personal use, and have the state destroy my great-grandfather’s double-barrled muzzle-loading shotgun because it might be used in a crime and be untraceable. Then I will be double-ultra safe.

There are many types of infringements. One can’t put them all in one category. We have to think critically which are good and which are bad. Which infringe on our right to be responsibly armed and which infringe on our right to be irresponsibly armed. The latter is not a right.

We are now at one too many infringements.

It started with one gun law and now there are over 20 thousand.

The government and states will continue to back door infringe us to death, little by little until we are a communist country.

They keep stating that we still have second amendment protections but in the same breath make us use our money to fight them/the states, in court because of the unconstitutional laws they pass.

Look at Virginia’s and Oregon’s latest stack of bills they are trying to pass. Gun shops won’t be allowed to have guns in the store(basically), you won’t be able to carry at 90% of locations(vampire clause), and additional taxes on top of State taxes, $500 additional tax on suppressors, etc.

I like to say life ain’t nothing but a funny funny riddle because of the John Denver song. The thing is not all riddles are easy. Always look on the bright side of life. Monty Python. Hope this helps. G-d bless

The thing is not all gun laws are bad. One is not allowed to murder someone with a gun ( off the top of my head) is a good one. We have to discern the good ones from the bad ones. I think it was John Wick’s father said, ā€œ Without laws we live like animalsā€.

Read the news or watch any of the Media, we have tons of laws and we are living more like animals.

Guy pulling weeds, executed, back of the head, broad daylight!

Fixed that,….

The act of murder its self is illegal, regardless if you do it with a gun, or your bare hands.

So that disqualifies it as a gun law.

No, laws don’t stop people from breaking laws. Being responsibly armed does. Especially when we include situational awareness in being responsibly armed.

Then we don’t need GFZ signs

Correct. We only need them where they don’t infringe on our second amendment constitutional right. We do have a G-d given 2A (not constitutional) right that can be infringed on. G-d gives us a free will to break the law if we are willing to except the consequences. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Where would that be?

Yep, this. I couldn’t agree more.

About a quarter of so-called Americans think the second amendment should be repealed outright. Another 20% or so want very strict gun control.

Hell, about 30% of young people are willing to allow government cameras in their own homes to promote ā€œsafety!ā€

These are the same people who willingly vote for a full blown anti-semite communist to lead our largest city.

We can’t allow even the smallest ā€œcompromiseā€ with these people. Our founders were enlightened, and saw horrors these sheltered, coddled people can’t imagine, and saw fit to enshrine this as one of our most fundamental rights to never be infringed upon. Let’s not let them down and allow, bite by bite, our basic freedom to be nibbled away.

Where there are armed guards for protection. Prisons

That is irrelevant, people in prison do not have 2A rights when incarcerated. The big razor wire fences tell you it is a GFZ.

GFZ signs only create victims, they do not protect anyone.

Except, for instance, Minnesota, protesters believe that federal law enforcement officers are NOT law enforcement, that they can impede , assault, maim, injure, and kill them without repercussions and consequences by shouting ā€˜ I’m a US citizen and legal observer. They believe it is a game, a TikTok challenge.

True. Unless they are gun free like if the president is speaking someplace. They are not gun free because his secret service and body guards have guns. Signs don’t stop people from murdering people. People with guns do.
