Arrogant Illinois State Senator Proposes Confiscating Guns.
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Anti-gun lawmakers, including some of those vying for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, are becoming increasingly open about their desire to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens and jail those who don’t comply. Perhaps taking a cue from their strident federal allies, this trend has trickled down to state politicians.
On June 11, anti-gun Illinois state lawmakers Sen. Julie Morrison and Rep. Bob Morgan held a “townhall” meeting in Deerfield, Ill. The NRA state affiliate, the Illinois State Rifle Association, encouraged members to attend the meeting and ask Morrison about her sponsorship of SB107.
The bill would have branded many modern semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic handguns, and shotguns commonly owned by law-abiding citizens as “assault weapons” and banned them along with spare parts and accessories. The legislation permitted current owners to continue to possess these firearms if the owner registered the firearm with the state and paid a $25 fee for each gun.
At the “townhall,” a constituent confronted Morrison about her bill, asking why it was acceptable for the lawmaker to push legislation that would take firearms away from law-abiding citizens unless they registered their guns and paid a fine. The exchange was captured on video by an ISRA supporter.
After pointing out the punitive nature of the legislation, the gun rights supporter asked Morrison, “If I get to keep it if I pay a fine and register it, how dangerous is it in the first place and why do you need to ban it at all? Why do you need to try to ban my semi-automatic firearms?
With a repellant smugness that can only be appreciated by watching the video, Morrison offered her constituents a flippant response. Literally looking down her nose at those gathered, the state senator replied, “Well you’ve just maybe changed my mind. Maybe we won’t have a fine at all. Maybe it’ll just be confiscation and we won’t have to worry about paying a fine.”
Astute gun rights supporters have long-understood that the ultimate goal of anti-gun politicians is to confiscate firearms from law-abiding gun owners. What sets Morrison’s conduct apart is that it is an almost perfect encapsulation of the contempt gun control supporters have for their fellow citizens. Gun rights supporters and all those who value personal freedom should share this video in order to show others the arrogant indifference with which these lawmakers treat their constituents’ constitutional rights.

To bad somebody wasn’t standing close enough to punch her in the nose, so she had to breath out of her A__ to savor the smell of her A__ H__E statement she made about Confiscation of all guns!!!!!!!!!!
There is but ONE BOTTOM LINE, PERIOD, END of STORY, NO MORE TALK. If any authorities were to be so stupid to come and attempt to CONFISCATE FIREARMS, THEY WILL DIE! It is as simple as that. Local police that we support fully, will instantly become DEAD. Yes, they WILL finally send enough overwhelming fire power to eventually kill us, but we are ready to die to protect our rights. And the jackass politicians that sent them to their demise will of course be at home with their little families, and they poor local police will keep the funeral homes… Read more »
I’m thinking her face is just one more reason why lots of men are turning fag (gay misspelled backward).
no police officer or group of in their right minds would go door to door trying to confiscate firearms…
Is this want-to-be emperor related to Stallwort or is she just a big mouth. She has an alligator mouth and a hummingbird ass. If she represents any of the farming community of Ill. I know they won’t stand for her b.s. and will eliminate her next election. If she is anywhere near Chitown then she is in her own world of welfare recipients and no work types. If they had to work for something to eat or a roof over their head they wouldn’t have the time to create all the deaths that they do. Of course, the democrats think… Read more »
All of this chit – chat is mindless prattle coming from Springfield. No matter how many silly laws they pass- the shootings and killings and mayhem will NEVER stop what goes on EVERY WEEKEND in Shitcago. Democrats will never figure this out.
Dimorats just don’t get it… If they ban the guns, they won’t be coming for our guns, we’ll be coming for THEM!! So ok, just try to take ’em. We’ll arrest you, charge you with treason, and remove you from the country!
Well I think her attitude is piss poor without hearing from the people she works for, that’s right, she works for. Just rember politicans work for you. There are some that somehow forget that fact. Even in my state instead of letting the people vote on it, they automatically assume that voters must be ignorant and do not have the common sense ability to vote in a good law.
What an idiot she is. US domestic firearms industry employs many good people, these are not minimum wage jobs.
She wants to put all of them out of work? Really, confiscation? Not going to succeed.
You all forgive my red neck grammar. I would just love to stick my mossberg up her ass. How can you people begin to deal with this CUNT!!!
