>Synopsis As Introduced
>Urges the courts, especially the United States Supreme Court, to adhere to the clear wording of the Second Amendment being a right afforded to state-sponsored militias and not individuals.

Like the New York Times and the WaPo, like Hillary and Bernie, the authors of this bill know their target audience. Pic related.

It's like people literally want to be murdered by the government

What is the goal of destroying the second amendment? Why are they so eager to take away the one unique freedom that the rest of the world doesn't have? What is the eventual goal? Making people feel "safe"? I wouldn't feel safe in a place where I can't count on other law abiding citizens to use their second amendment rights to protect themselves and others

>>28348654
Well I don't disagree but the Heller decision made it crystal clear that owning a firearm is an individual right

they can strip and chip away at it, but all this bill is, is nonsense. The supreme court has made their decision regarding whether it's an individual right or not. That was the point I was making

Laws passed by congress like the NFA, GCA, etc. is one thing, but if there is a court ruling that overturns any of the amendments in the bill of rights there will be an armed insurrection. The fact that any of our politicians would make a bill like this is very worrisome. The fact that the large majority of people could not be bothered to give a shit is even more worrisome. We will be branded as terrorist and extremists, but I would rather die than live as a subject to the state.

Well, it's a good thing the Supreme Court has ruled (around a dozen times or so) through out the history of the United States that the people are the militia, and the state is not obliged to protect its citizenry and therefore the citizen has the right to defend themselves.

Oh, and called a homophobe and a fascist and a hypocrite and all the rest.

Think about the mindset it takes to invite the government into your bedroom because that's where the gun safe is in order to spite somebody that disagrees with you over a cultural fight you already (for now) won.

I think some of you don't understand this because your not from Illinois. Let me break it down for you how this all works.

Since the 1970's Illinois has been unique. It has handled the issue of firearms on it's own, it issued FOID cards and requirements and the state allowed Towns, Cities, and Counties to set their own laws. This is why we have things like the Chicago handgun ban, or the Aurora assault weapon ban. Since the 70's, the state has always held all the power, they banned all forms of carry, they banned NFA items and silencers.

The federal government didn't give a shit about what Illinois did because it was a state issue. Then something changed recently, and suddenly throughout the country gun bans were struck down by the courts, concealed carry was allowed, and Illinois, who has always been alone and been the big boss of firearms laws stood alone as the last state that forbid concealed carry.

Illinois faught tooth and nail to prevent the courts from forcing them to allow concealed carry and lost horribly. They waited till the last minute to institute a law out of spite.

Since that day, the state has been attacked constantly by gun rights challenges, and is about to loose everything. Soon silencers will be legal. Every local town ban and law is being challenged and overturned.

So, what does this have to do with what I talked about? The state is grasping at straws trying to get it's power back. Nothing more. We should be celebrating such a weak challenge from such a once strong foe as a victory.

My pro gun parents never bought us toy guns because they considered it in bad taste. (they also are very anti-consumerist behavior, so we didn't get a lot of plastic made-in-china toys.)

We took lumber and fashioned our own wooden guns in my dad's shop.

Got good at it too. I had a model 1911, and my brother made a luger. We both made some killer looking tommy guns.

They all broke over time because we pretended the shit out of world war 2 soldiers.

Imagine how triggered libs would be by a 9 year old making a toy gun.

I've lived nearly my entire life in IL (moved out only the last 2 years), and here is the thing. Cook County (i.e. Chicago) pretty much controls the entire state. If you look at various elections, statewide and nationwide, the entire state is a deep crimson, save for maybe 1 county and cook county, and because of that, the state is deeply blue. And because of this heavily lopsidedness in IL politics, whatever Chicago wants, it pretty much gets.

So it's not really the state at large that is the problem, it is literally all of Chicago's fault. They're the ones that do not hold anyone accountable. Hell, the would have easily voted in Jesse Jackson Jr. again if they could, despite having a laundry list of crimes and bribes committed.

Hey I did that too. "School shootings" have such a wide definition it's insane. There was one I remember that was a drug deal across the street in the middle of the night going bad and a shot being reported, no one was actually shot but it was counted as a school shooting. They didn't go to the school, they weren't on school grounds, school wasn't in session, their business in the area was in no way related to the school, no one was shot... but it's a school shooting.

The amount of things most people would consider school shooting if they new the specifics of each incident is so low.

No.

If I prize traditional marriage and the civilizing virtues of the Judeo-Christian ethic -- values that have been utterly non-controversial for the entire history of our country, up until the 1960's -- you'll despise me and throw me under the bus. Which is, you know, the way things are going. So you're on the Right Side Of History there.

On the other hand, if you favor guns and limited government, your liberal allies will throw YOU under the bus, possibly with a SWAT team at 3:00AM.

Libertarians would be able to not only fill that gap but represent those of us middle grounders. Until the republicans sever their ties with the religious right and remember the separation between church and state exists they're going to keep driving away potential voters.

Home Rule is a thing, if you didn't know. Giving the big blue cities the right to do whatever the fuck they pleased within their own states would go a long, long way towards salvaging our current plight. It'd certainly recompense rural red-staters for the power they lost when the Supremes neutered every state senate back in the Sixties. It's okay for the Feds to have checks and balances visa vis the Reps and the Senate, but not you plebs at the state level, they said.

4% of Americans approved of interracial marriage in 1958. I dunno, man, once you start thinking about how historically weird our views in Current Year are, it seems like kind of an unprincipled exception to say "sociopolitical change and progress until 1784 (or 1860, or 1913, or 1934) were just great, but everything after that was a mistake". I'm not trying to say you're full of shit, understand, I don't know what the correct answer here is. But I think this line of thought about gay marriage produces results that robust gun-toting Western individualists like ourselves ought to find abhorrent. See also: Moldbug and Jim Donald.

And I'm not disagreeing with that whatsoever. Illinois is too busy engaging in a literal cuckfest, and as a result is squandering a golden opportunity to make it a much more friendly 2A state. :(

> ...the forces of our national life are not brought to bear on public questions solely in proportion to the weight of numbers. If they were, the 6 million citizens of the Chicago area would hold sway in the Illinois Legislature without consideration of the problems of their 4 million fellows who are scattered in 100 other counties. Under the Court's new decree, California could be dominated by Los Angeles and San Francisco; Michigan by Detroit..

Oh I forgot you're the fucking asshole who believes that egregiously disproportionate representation in the House and state legislatures was a good thing. Why do you hate representative democracy?

>>28352599
Possibly. But if so, I think it's on a much deeper level than most of the

criticism is getting at.

Illinois is basically corruption central in politics, it's pretty much the example of "non-typical" when it comes to everything.

Get fucked nigger.

To be honest, people like Phil deserve to be mocked relentlessly every time they show up in any kind of public discussion.

>gun control is an oppressive use of government authority to stifle people's self determination
>better keep pot illegal, that shit'll kill you
>you shouldn't legislate your personal preferences
>but gay marriage is degenerate, keep it banned

Literally the millstone around the neck of the GOP.

Phil is legendary for being easy to BTFO. It's the only thing about him we like.

As opposed to the direct democracy of the Proposition system in Cali that allows passage of unconstitutional/oppression of the majority bills?

The dissenting opinions foresaw exactly what we're in the middle of -- Chicago running Illinois by fiat, for instance.

That's the year the big blue cities seized control. That's the year we got derailed.

>4% of Americans approved of interracial marriage in 1958.
Sorry. I call horseshit. You're seriously claiming all those part Chinese/Japanese/Indian/black/whatever families didn't fucking exist so you can cling to the petrified image of Old America as some sort of dystopian white-racist wasteland? Get the fuck out. I wonder how much mud blood is in your family tree you don't know about.

>>28352666
But that's not correct. The population of the Chicago area has the percentage of state representatives that they are as a % of the state's population. The Chicago metro has ~75%$ of the state's population and thus about that same proportion of its representatives.

Hey Phil, can you confirm that this is an accurate depiction of your Christmas?

I love how now he's not only name calling, but completely ignoring evidence held right in front of his face. It's so cute.

>>28352679
This is exactly what I'm talking about, though. Consider the possibility that he may be starting from different first principles than you are.

And we have a political party without all that shit--they're called the Libertarians, and they got a single electoral vote, once (in 1976, I think.). If libertarianism, or fiscal conservatism and social liberalism, or South Park Republicanism, or whatever you want to call it, is such a winning formula--then where are the wins?
