If the Queen black widow cheats her way into the office, remember this...It wasn't King George that came to Concord Green and it won't be Camalla Shit that comes to steal your firearms...so practice to AIM SMALL MISS SMALL. Make them PAY. And while doing so remember Bryan and Sammy and Vicki and the 17 little children at Waco...my life isn't worth more than any of theirs were.

Federal Judge Appears to Hint at How He'll Rule in Illinois Gun and Magazine Ban Case

https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2024/09/20/federal-judge-appears-to-hint-at-how-hell-rule-in-illinois-gun-and-magazine-ban-case-n1226299?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=b6c7e45517db205a05162beabba5ffc9f83c07f7150c95a1c12011e266a2de8c&lctg=19488896

The guns and magazines banned by the state of Illinois are commonly owned for a variety of lawful purposes, including self-defense. And McGlynn seems to get that the simple ownership of these firearms may actually prevent or forestall acts of violence against a community as well as individuals. Even if that isn't always the case, a well-armed community is more likely to be able to successfully defend itself against an angry mob, and to impart such damage on their attackers that they mitigate the threat of future mob violence.

McGlynn has demonstrated throughout the litigation that he's well-versed in gun ownership and how firearms function, and given that he previously granted an injunction against PICA's gun and magazine ban I've assumed all along that he was at least leaning towards the plaintiffs' arguments. Based on his comments on Thursday, the judge appears to not only have a good command of the technical arguments presented by both sides but understands at a gut level the importance of armed self-defense when law and order break down... or even worse, when the law turns a blind eye to the unchecked rage of the mob.

As it's not taught in school, people need to be aquainted with Fredick Douglas. https://img.mewe.com/api/v2/photo/YW6vurESY_Y7mT5CHQ4pKV9wMzPH-yNYpRMCg9dcOqFm7ro_CAmveSkajfI/800x800/img?static=0. A critical Thinker.
