Illinois State Senator Is Pushing a Bill That Would Allow the Government to Confiscate Guns Without Due Process

    Constitution Burning

    There are people in our government who are determined to chip away at our Second Amendment rights, and they are an insidious bunch. Rarely do they make blatant gun grabbing attempts. Typically they push for policies that quietly set back gun rights. They like laws that merely set precedents without alarming the public, and they’ve been doing it successfully for decades.

    The latest of these attempts comes from Illinois, one of the least gun friendly states in America. State Senator Julie Morrison has proposed a bill titled SB 1291, which would allow the government to confiscate firearms from citizens without any due process. According to Breitbart:

    SB 1291 would create a “Lethal Order of Protection” whereby the firearms of Illinois residents could be confiscated if a family member or “law officer” files a petition stating the gun owner “poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having … [a firearm] in his or her custody or control.”

    SB 1291’s summary states:

    [The bill] 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. Provides that the petitioner may be a family member of the respondent or a law enforcement officer, who files a petition alleging that the respondent poses a 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. Establishes factors that the court must consider before issuing a lethal violence order of protection. Provides for the issuance of ex parte orders and one year orders.

    Basically if this bill passes, then a resident of Illinois could have his or her firearms confiscated if a family member alleges that the person in question is an immediate threat to himself or others. All they have to do is file a petition and report that allegation to the government. I say allegation, because under this bill, no real proof is required to take away someone’s firearms.

    Moreover, the input and presence of the person who is targeted is not required during this process. If this happened to you, it wouldn’t even be your word against theirs. You wouldn’t be able to defend yourself in court at all.

    However, what may be more alarming about this bill, is it that states that a “law enforcement officer” can file one of these petitions. Does that mean that the cops could have your weapons confiscated on a whim?

    The gun grabbers in our society have tried to set a lot of bad legal precedents over the years. Let’s pray that this doesn’t become one of them.

        • REMEMBER KIDS

          THE MUSLIMS WERE THE GREAT INTELLECTUAL GENIUSES OF THE MIDDLE AGES

          THEY ONLY BURNED 90% OF THE BOOKS IN THE LANDS THEY CONQUERED

          THE SPANISH GOLDEN AGE OF ISLAMIC RULE

          THE GREAT ADVANCES IN MEDICINE IN BAGHDAD

          EYE SURGERY

          THEY TAUGHT THE WHITE MAN TO WIPE HIS ASSHOLE

          ALL BY 80 IQ, 50% INBRED MUSLIMS

          SOMEBODY ELSE RECENTLY POSTED THE COMMENT “HOW WAS I EVER SO STUPID IN SCHOOL AS TO FALL FOR THIS MORONIC NONSENSE THEY TEACH?”

          MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY

          WE MUST HAVE COMPETITION IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

          ESPECIALLY IN HIGHER LEARNING

          “BUT MR. KREUTZ IT’S LAUGHABLE FOR YOU TO PROPOSE FOUNDING YOUR OWN UNIVERSITY. THOSE PLACES MUST BE CERTIFIED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE YOU A LEGITIMATE DEGREE”

          YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DUMBER THAN SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          EDUCATION HAS NO FUCKING EFFECT ON IQ YOU DUMB SHITS!!!! LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF WRITING FROM THE 1800s. DO YOU THINK THE PROFESSORS TODAY ARE AS GOOD AS WRITING AS SOMEBODY EDUCATED TO THE 8th GRADE IN 1800? I AM SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. THIS FUCKING HORSESHIT ABOUT NEEDING A WATERED DOWN DEGREE IN AFRIKANA STUDIES BASKET WEAVING TO BE CONSIDERED CAPABLE IS ALL A FUCKING SCAM TO GET IN YOUR WALLET.

          YOU DONT FUCKING NEED COLLEGE!!!!!!!!

          • I did two graduate papers on the rise of Islam at Univ. of British Columbia. Truth is, Islam *stole* from those they conquered, particularly the Nestorians, who had kept alive learning from the Greeks. If you were a Christian, you were “allowed” to live – just as is the case today – IF you paid the “jizya” tax (think YOUR taxes going up by 100% just to keep your head on).

            All these unthinking leftists with their “We are not afraid” yard signs? They WILL be afraid – very afraid – when Islam gets even close to a majority. And no word from these types what they will do when the Sharia pushers come marching in to San Francisco to implement Sharia law on the radical gays… or on their daughters in Illinois just wearing cutoffs.

            But… leftists never WERE very deep thinkers, were they…

            • Test: and Europe is about to become a caliphate, as globalist EU leaders are using Islam ( a satanic death cult) as an end run to destroy nationalism because it’s much cheaper than a suppressing army or police. Cowardly stupid EU males refuse to resist or protect themselves and their women like some E Euro countries are now. The EU soon to become a caliphate hell on earth a third world dump very soon. (jihadwatch.org, pamelageller.com, gatesofvienna.net ref the book: legacy of jihad by thomas bostom goes way back into countries conquered, slavery, and details. You may have read it.

              • Laura Ann: you are spot on. Sweden seems to be ground zero, particularly around Malmö and Götebörg (I speak some Swedish, been in Sweden, and worked for a Swedish company). Good post, and what you noted is very important.

              • Gates of Vienna site is evil as it won’t name the (((men behind the curtain))). The problem is chewish string pullers, not ragheads.

                The World has but one problem- monopoly.

                Information monopoly and monetary monopoly.

                Job number one is smashing these.

                • Lately I suspected Gates of Vienna was not telling everything straight out. I have emailed them direct and didn’t get a straight answer. Info on their site mainly keeps up with EU events with Muslim crime. Some of the comments mentioned the globalists and several mentioned baking cartels, I no longer post on it as their are too many other ones to keep up with that are better.

        • I dont like the tavor platform.

          • Come and get my weapons!

          • You are exactly right about the education system. Its also true the muslim trash are inbred imbeciles.

      1. Call the whitehouse and tell them you are opposed to this law.

        Call, write letters. If you live in Illinoise make noise. Let them know they won’t be employed if they vote for this or any law restricting the people’s right to keep and bare arms. These things usually get sneaked in because no one takes it upon themselves to act up.

        __

        • As well as the right to “bare” arms I demand the right to “bare” my ass!

          • you just did 😉

            • Ah…another barely literate idiot! When are you guys going to learn the basics of spelling, punctuation, and grammar?

              Sometimes, skimming through this site, it’s patently obvious that many of you didn’t graduate from kindergarten.

              Tantrums, tears, and stamping of feet when the obvious stupidity of your comments are challenged.

        • Making noise is ok but insufficient. We need to make these libs accountable for willful disregard for the law. There needs to be consequence for purposely ignoring the constitution.

          • Vocalpatriot, that state official who proposed this bill had better be careful what he or she wishes for. What part of ‘SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED’ does the person NOT understand?

        • The real issue is who voted for these people in the first place? And why?

      2. I GOOGLED JULIE MORRISON

        SHE IS A FAT, UGLY WOMAN

        WOMEN HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

        OR ADVISING ANYBODY IN ANY TECHNICAL PROFESSION

        THE PURPOSE OF WOMEN IS TO MAKE BABIES

        THEY ARE FAILING MISERABLY AT THAT TASK

        YOU CAN EITHER HAVE WOMENS RIGHTS

        OR YOU CAN HAVE CIVILIZATION

        YOU CANT HAVE BOTH

        • Time for mommy to put eisen back on his meds and back to bed.

        • eisen, I take back my earlier remark. I googled Morrison myself. She IS an ugly one! Take a picture of her and your camera might break, LOL!

      3. There is quote out there that paraphrased says, “It’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards”. It’s too late to work within the system for sure. This person/representative was elected by people who have been brainwashed to blame an inanimate object for what people do. I’m sure this issue just didn’t pop up now. These people who have been elected have been hand picked too, to be in the positions they are to attempt to create laws just like this one. Maybe the people should call their US senators instead of calling the state ones. Yeah, right. And she isn’t the only one pushing this agenda. One state rep. in Illinois was running on an anti second amendment platform and had mailers sent out saying just that. That sounds treasonous to me.
        It’s always the same people blaming anything and anybody but themselves. With the financial help of those who blame anything and anybody but themselves too. Where’s a Le Pen running when you need one. I guess that she also lost her financing.

      4. From the article: “The [bill] 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…this is why you need to have some unregistered stuff hidden in place(s) that only YOU know about. And don’t tell anybody else for ANY reason.

        • INCLUDING YOUR FUCKING SPOUSE AND KIDS!!!!!!!!

          • Eisen, theare are still some decent, sensible women out there. But they are hard to find there’s not enough of them to go around anymore. It’s disgusting what feminism has done to women’s minds.

            • So true, DB. After many years of going out with these feminist deluded types, I finally found a good one in church. Good? Try GREAT. Intelligent, beautiful, accomplished, caring, thoughtful, loving, fun, wise, Christian. Took a long time hunting through the flotsam of women who have gone over to the dark side, but they are out there.

          • The kids are stupid. They spill the beans in school. They are so stupid that when a parent says to go to their room and stay there…they call the cops and then cps comes and takes them away! A lady here told me she sent her child to his room. He called the cops. Cps came and said he can go to his room, but the door needs to be OPEN!

        • Frank, in the legislatures of the southern states, no member would DARE to introduce such a bill. It would be DOA [DEAD ON ARRIVAL]. It WOULD be shot down. Pun intended, what the hell!

      5. You do not need permission to breathe you do not permission for self defense. Don’t play their games. If you obey evil you are evil.

        • BS, welcome and I agree wholeheartedly.

        • dont forget americans supported the fukn trash with their vote

          • Trash undermining citizens and collecting a hefty salary at the same time. It’s at all levels too.

      6. These left wingers and communists, just will not quit.
        What is it gonna take to convince them that the majority of people in America:

        #1. Are tired of the third world invasion of America

        #2. Want to keep our firearms.

        #3. Are supportive of President Trump and his travel bans.

        #4. Desire to make America great again…..

        • What will it take?

          Conservatives have the same premises as the left.

          They have rubber-stamped most of the trash emanating from the left.

          The choice is total state or total freedom. Middle ground accepts statism and therefore has all the premises of THE TOTAL STATE. The middle ground is called mixed economy- LONG ENDORSED BY THE CONSERVATIVE WEENIES.

          Neither conservatives nor libs believe in freedom.

          The “public school” forces kids to recite the pledge of allegiance. The pledge was written by a national socialist named Francis Bellamy. Yes it’s true.

          • The best way to quickly straighten this country out would be to impeach roughly thirty federal judges and replace with those who believe strongly in the Second Amendment.
            I know, I’m dreaming.

            • Trials for high treason and sedition, with executions upon conviction..televised for the educational effect on politicians!

      8. I have a revelation for you folks. People I know, got into some legal trouble. And while they were at the police station, the police went to their residence, searched and located guns and seized them. It was then up to the gun owners to pay lawyers to get them back. The residences were not in the town where the arrests took place. This was in Illinois. 15 years ago. Don’t keep all of your toys at the same location. Do not talk to police without a lawyer.

        • Surprised that’s all they took. Illinois is a revenue cash register.

      10. And my Bill of Rights says you’ll be laying bloody on my dining room floor

        Yes, even if I’m laying next to you dead .. your still dead too fuckers

        Think about that the next time you think your “legally” entering someone’s home with a bogus warrant that wouldn’t stand a day in court against my rights

        Yep , what difference would it make , right? Because you and I and all your “buddies” are dead and not going home that night

        Let that sink in

        • EOTS, spot on. The Bill Of Rights is the set of rules I live by, not any draconian or tyrannical crap. You force your way into my home, you die, plain and simple.

      13. Never, never make statements to the police except name, address, showing ID, etc….what you say before being mirandized cannot be used in a court of law. However, what you say could determine whether there is probable cause for your arrest or detainment. And there is a fine line, as you could be found guilty for obstruction if you don’t cooperate. However, an obstruction charge is only a misdemeanor. Its likely the officer wants to make a felony arrest….Especially when firearms or domestic violence is involved. Your best course of action is name, rank, serial#…..period. The only thing you do after that is say “Am I under arrest or detainment, or am i free to go”. This forces the officer to either detain/arrest you, possibly initiating a ‘false arrest’ suit….or let you go, Remember also, it is legal for an officer or detective to LIE to you. They often will to get a confession or to get you to defend yourself by telling ‘your side of the story’, thus using your statements against you. If you choose to say nothing, and invoke your 5th amendment right….the officer or detective knows that you are smarter than most, and likely won’t pursue further. If you are arrested and mirandized……the only thing you say is “I have no statements to make and i wish to have a lawyer represent me”. GET IT.!!!!

      14. I see dead people, lots and lots of gun grabbing dead people.

        • Get your eyes checked because nobody will do anything to stop their masters and their minions from molesting them.

      15. Isn’t this already in effect to a certain extent?

        I know in this area, your family, or the state, can have you committed involuntarily for observation with little or no actual proof (just their say so). No petition required. Danger to yourself or others is a “color of law” violation and can be based on something a “witness” claims you said or did without any actual physical proof. In other words, an unconstitutional “law” that is drug up for the nebulous claim of “public safety” to control your behavior.

        And yes, if you ARE committed, the costumed clowns will confiscate your firearms. No petition required.

        No victim…No crime.

        • Hide some of your weapons so you may return to them and thus return the favor to whomever fucked you over to begin with.

      16. Such a law has just passed our Hawaiian senate and is up for the House to review. It will probably pass, as this is a single party state with no regard for personal freedom. In this state all guns are required to be registered, which makes it easy for the cops to raid, kill, maim, and rob you. We have one sworn cop for every 500 people. About 25% of the people own guns, that the state knows about, there are many more the state doesn’t know about. Most people here are pretty laid back and actually like cops( I am not laid back and I don’t like cops, but tolerate them as a necessary evil). It might become interesting, as there is a lot of old style “tribal” connections here and a lot of stuff depends on who you know. Laws are just recommendations and stupid laws are just ignored.

        • Rellik, I would also ignore a stupid law like that. I already ignore other stupid laws banning the carrying of certain ‘non-lethal’ self-defense items going back to the Clinton era. I don’t follow any restrictions on self-defense, period. I only follow the Bill Of Rights.

      17. Well at least the idiot enforcers that would actually go out and attempt to take people’s weapons would have their funerals paid for by their departments

      18. Testing. Cant post

      19. ok well can now

      20. This is a divorce weapon.

        • For certain. And a problem teenager weapon. Problem in-law weapon. All you need is a family member to fill out an affidavit.

          I’ll bet there is no penalty for a false report. Just how would you prove it?

      21. How about a “Lethal Order of Protection” from all the leftist rioters in Berkeley and across the nation burning cars, beating people and breaking windows?

        Oh wait. They are exempt.

        • TEST, I have my own ‘order of protection’. Whenever I’m confronted by an evildoer, I have been ordered to protect myself BY MYSELF. Plain and simple.

          • Self defense has been recognized since Blackstone.

      22. Accidentally hit submit earlier. I am against violence against ANY innocent person. The reason I cite black on white crime is to point out the hypocrisy of the fascist left, in large part fomented by the Geo.

      23. A women scorned dream

      24. Ronald Reagan understood the issue, stating “The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed” and “There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism — government.”

        This is the same Reagan that reminded us that “”We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions” and “When dictators come to power, the first thing they do is take away the people’s weapons. … I do not believe that [our nation’s leaders] have any desire to impose a dictatorship upon us. But this does not mean that such will always be the case. A nation rent internally, as ours has been in recent years, is always ripe for a ‘man on a white horse.’ A deterrent to that man, or to any man seeking unlawful power, is the knowledge that those who oppose him are not helpless.”

        But let’s leave Reagan behind as another conservative leftists hate. So… how about Hubert Humphrey, Democrat vice president under LBJ. Here’s his thoughts on guns: “The right of the citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” Earlier, John F. Kennedy similarly noted, “Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life.” Hardly Dianne Feinstein (who, BTW, also was outed as carrying a gun not too long ago for self protection)!

        This is clearly at odds with New York governor Cuomo’s statement in 2013 that “What the extremists do is spread fear and unrealistic theories of conspiracies and the citizenry that needs to be armed because the government is possibly tyrannical, and they need their arms to defend themselves against the tyrannical government.” Does Cuomo think JFK, Hubert Humphrey, as well as the other significant Americans like the Founding Fathers are “extremists?”

        • I like Reagan’s take as best modern version. In reality the second amendment now saves the World, eh?

      25. In fact, one Tienanmen Square survivor, who emigrated and moved to the US, had virtually the exact same words to say about guns, freedom and liberty as those “dead white guys,” the Founding Fathers. His six minute address is at at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miEmIfhfxuc&feature=player_embedded#t=0s, or, to summarize his salient points:

        ”The power of the government is derived from the consent of the governed.”

        Chinese patriots in Tiananmen were crushed by “AK-47′s” because they could “not fight back” as they “were not armed.”

        The argument “that a man with a rifle has no standing against the military technology and machine of today” is ridiculous. 20,000,000 residents of Beijing would have quickly proved that wrong had they been armed in 1989.

        ”When a government turns criminal, when a government turns deranged, the body count will not be 5, 10, or even 20. It will be in hundreds like Tiananmen Square, it will be in the millions…

        ”When a government has a monopoly on guns, it has absolute power.”

        ”When a government has all the guns, it has all the rights.”
        ”To me, a rifle is not for sporting or hunting. It is an instrument of freedom. It guarantees that I cannot be coerced, that I have free will, that I am a free man.”

        Here is a man we must listen to, unless we want to end up like oppressive China ourselves

      26. With respect to the authors mention of the “due process of the law” in this article.

        A solid argument could be made that there really is no longer the due process of law in most of the courts taday (atleast not Constitutional legitimate due process of the law) as they have mostly been taken over by the foreign intersts of NWO cabal and are nothing more than kangaroo courts that serve only the interests of the NWO global agenda. The courts are just as corrupt as the legislative and executive branchs from local to federal in many places.

        “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence – it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master”.
        George Washington

        • If this law passes, a completed affidavit by any family member or LEO will constitute ‘due process’. And the state courts will agree with that.

      27. Wanna guarantee civil unrest? keep going down that road.
        What has kept the domestic tranquility alive, is the ability to redress government. This bill subverts that basic tenet of American culture. Under those conditions we have no recourse except violence.

      28. With the imbalance of lethal fire power between the Govt and the People, I am resigned to the proposition that my ‘Right to Bear Arms’ just MIGHT let me determine the timing of my passing and who goes with me.

        No muhajadeen running the USSR off with cherry bombs and bolt action rifles, no Yorktown, no underdog come from behind win…

        But, that’s alright….

      29. This slob is from shitcago.

        Let them try to come down state and try to take them. I know for a fact that the LEO’s I work with won’t stand for this.

        If they want a blood bath they will get one.

        Bring it you dumb Sons of Biotches. Kiss your families good by because won’t be coming home.

        • You still need a FOID card even if you live downstate. Another reason to leave Illinois.
          When I was a kid, Illinois was a red state. The governor you have is trying to do some
          good. Trying to prioritize the spending. Problem is, the democrats never saw a social
          program they didn’t like. Tax and spend is all they know. Plus they hate on anyone that
          believes in traditional values. Everything with them is massive central government. They seem to think government knows whats best for everybody. The Chicago City Council
          is outright communist. A cesspool of radical leftists trying to out-Commie each other.
          The minority aldermen have so much hatred for anyone of European descent. They blame
          the police department for every crime that happens in their communities. As if the police
          whose hands are tied, are to blame for every injustice that happens. Yes, I’m hating on
          Chicago for the stupidity of the citizens that will never wake up from their stupor.
          All the graft and corruption. Patronage. Cronyism. Confiscatory taxation. Freedom-hating,
          un-American communistic gun laws. Academic know nothing arrogant dickheads wanting
          to impose their beliefs on normal hardworking blue collar people. They ruined it.

      30. What part of “shall not infringe” do these stealth commie murderers not understand? Maybe it’s time to vote these bums out of office.

      31. I like Regan’s statement that, “if we lose freedom here, there’s no where to escape to. This is the last stand on earth”.

      32. This should tell you how asinine Illinois is. Years ago, I went to a convenience store to buy a
        resident fishing license. The guy behind the counter said he needed to see my drivers
        license. He started hand writing my information down on his license pad. It was one of those pads where you get the cover copy( your license ), and the store keeps the carbon copy. Then he asks me for my social security number. I told him he didn’t need that. He
        said it was something new they just started. This was around the time when you were just
        starting to hear things in the news about identity theft. I asked him why they needed a
        social security number on a fishing license. He said he didn’t know. I didn’t want some
        foreigner store owner to have all of my information on his little carbon copy license pad.
        I told him forget it. I walked out. I went over to the state of Illinois building on Randolph St.
        in downtown Chicago and took the elevator up to the IL Dept. of Conservation. I told them
        I wanted to buy a fishing license and I went thru the same thing with the person there.
        She said they needed my Social Security number to give me a fishing license. I asked why
        and she told me that lawmakers in Springfield passed some legislation cracking down on
        ” deadbeat dads “. I nearly had a hemorrhage right there. I asked her what the hell does
        deadbeat dads have to do with fishing licenses! She just kind of shook her head and said
        she did not know. Apparently, the jacked up politicians in Illinois associate fisherman with
        deadbeat dads. I could not make this up if I wanted!!! Guess what? I never bought another
        fishing license in Illinois after that. People of Illinois, push back! The city of Chicago and
        Cook County is like a cancerous growth in the heart of the country. Sadly, the other five
        counties around Chicago have become just like Cook County and it’s taking the entire
        state down. No offense to the good folks there. That state has become a den of stupidity.

      33. Another feminist liberal communist who like Hillary keeps the attacks on our liberties going.

      34. Come take them. The sooner you gun grabbers and jack booted thugs come for them, the sooner we can shoot all of you, and get on with our life.

      35. Mongo, that statement gave me a warm fuzzy feeling all over!

      36. What they don’t tell the family is that with such a complaint the guns of the person isn’t the only ones to be removed. it would be all the guns from all family members they wouldn’t even need be living in the same home. the rational is they would be accessible to the person so they would be confiscated as well. what would be the next step. neighbors that enjoy friendship with the person. now they will be labels by a doctor as unstable and banned from the future purchase again any who are related would also suffer the same restriction. All this done without due process. reversing this would be costly with court costs and lawyers. the result is yet another family unable to defend itself with only the filing of a complaint. to expand on this they would now include family quarrels which the police have filed a report. even if no firearms are used the mental stability is in question so the process would be the same. in time any disturbance would be used to get your guns confiscated. how would they know you had a gun? it is registered and the list is provided to law enforcement. they pass laws that sound “reasonable” then without fanfare expand on these laws. someone prove me wrong!
        Grampa

      37. Well,….I hear them saying it, and so far; I’ve not seen one cop, soldier, etc attempting to confiscate any weapons here. However, well….let me just state this: Good luck!” You’re going to need it if you want anything from me without proper “reason.” We call it a “free” country….freedom is FREE, that’s why we call it “freedom.” If we have to fight for freedom, and the fighting never ends…then there is no freedom. But like the days of old,…will we once again be forced as our ancestors to stand our ground and defend against tyranny? Even against other Americans who would subvert freedoms…my freedom? What say ye?

      38. How can government seize arms if those arms are used by the people to defend against that government’s attempt to violate the security of a free state?
