Gun bill veto override action expected on both sides of Mississippi

On both sides of the Mississippi, the governors seem to have forgotten the difference between governors and emperors. It's time they were reminded.

SB183 is a GUN CONTROL bill that should just die of a veto. It's been called by democrats for a veto override. Republicans COULD force democrats to pass this GUN CONTROL on their own by voting NO on the override.

It would only take ONE "pro gun" democrat to ice the legislation. The result would be that Illinoisans could then carry openly or concealed provided they have a background check to gain a FOID card. Two desperate "permits" to own and to carry is UNreasonable.

150 bucks, another couple to few hundred for 16 hours training, fingerprinting fee, list time at work, forced waiving of all privacy rights (HIPPA as example understanding all medical info is then shareable with local state and federal levels of government) a disguised duty to inform, and bans on carrying on public transportation make this legislation a terrible idea from start to finish. Open carry is banned and so is the carrying of long guns.

Worst of all though is the FACT that this legislation LEAVES IN PLACE language that was directly ruled as unconstitutional! Explain this please, friends - how can simply ADDING a permission slip to offending code suddenly make that code switch from unconstitutional to constitutional?

Either we have a right to bear arms or we have a right to beg and pay for permission slip applications. SB183 is the latter. I predict that corrupt REPUBLICANS will side with machine Democrats and impose this legislation upon us. Thus it will be proven that there isn't even a dem lite factor anymore.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
