ASSAULT WEAPON BAN RESISTERS

 The outspoken opposition of many Illinois sheriff's to enforcement of new laws against assault weapons & ammo is probably less about ideology than it is simple FEAR FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY! These officers fear assassination by extreme rightwing gun owners and anti-government militias as well as criminals such as Mexican cartels, gangs and the Mafia!  

 Therefore the tasks of removal of these arms should be by Federal agencies for the foreseeable future until the quantity in circulation is greatly reduced. 

But until then those rebellious sheriff's are no more honorable than those of the civil rights era who balked at enforcement of desegregation laws and integration of public schools.  

PS: Once illegal guns are confiscated they should be "pacified" at metal stamping plants under 600 ton presses.  

This would begin to reduce the number of unnecessary weapons in constant circulation legal and illegal!! 

ALL CITIZENS HAVE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS INCLUDING YOUNG MEN ANGRY AT EVERYBODY AND THOSE WHO FEAR THEM!

C'mon NRA COME CLEAN WITH THE PUBLIC.   Defending the Second Amendment in this day and age ACTUALLY MEANS: 

1)  ANY U.S. CITIZEN WITH MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS  WHO HAS NOT BEEN "HELPED" BY THE SYSTEM HAS THE UNALIENABLE RIGHT TO BUY, BORROW OR STEAL A FIREARM OF HIS CHOICE AND "GET ATTENTION" BY ANY MEANS HE DEEMS  NECESSARY.! 

2) ANY U.S. CITIZEN OF NORMAL MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH WHO FEARS BECOMING A VICTIM OF ROAMING LUNATICS AND GANG DRONES (LICENCED BY THE U.S. CONSTITUTION) FREELY POSSESSING FIREARMS OF THEIR CHOICE HAS AN UNALIENABLE RIGHT TO SUPPLEMENT THE INADEQUATE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES AND THE SO-CALLED DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
