The Illinois General Assembly unfortunately includes representatives from Cook County (Chicago Politics anyone?) and this unfortunate fact once again presents a dangerous threat to the law-abiding citizens of Illinois. If only there were a North Illinois and a South Illinois, sigh. A frequent reader of this site has alerted me to this particular, yet not all that surprising threat.
Rep. Kenneth Dunkin (D “shocker”- 5th district) has introduced HB0687 or the ‘Dunkin Is a Doughnut Gun Grab Act of 2009.’ The nefarious legislation’s synopsis fits perfectly into the ideals of an Obamanation:
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that any person who owns a firearm in this State shall maintain a policy of liability insurance in the amount of at least $1,000,000 specifically covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person. Provides that a person shall be deemed the owner of a firearm after the firearm is lost or stolen until such loss or theft is reported to the police department or sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the owner resides. Provides that the Department of State Police shall revoke and seize a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card previously issued under this Act if the Department finds that the person to whom such card was issued possesses or acquires a firearm and does not submit evidence to the Department of State Police that he or she has been issued in his or her name a liability insurance policy in the amount of at least $1,000,000 specifically covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person. Effective January 1, 2010.
Dunkin Doughnut apparently has a cream-filled cranium if he doesn’t know that law-abiding citizens do not, by definition, commit crimes with guns (or anything else.) Those that commit murder, armed robbery, or any other crimes with guns do not adhere to, you guessed it, laws! This common sense bit of information leads a sane person to wonder what the end to this gun grabber’s means is intended to be. Why does Rep. Doughnut want a disarmed citizenry? What good can be achieved by growing the potential victim pool for violent criminals?
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” Perhaps he has his eyes on being President Obama’s Gun Control Czar.
If you object to this trampling of your liberty and unintended bonanza for violent criminals, please contact your state reps and let them know where Dunkin’s bill should be stuffed.
