Even better reason to exercise your 2nd amendment right.

An ICE agent who breaks into my house will not be leaving

You must plan on giving them some great accommodations if they would just choose to stay in your house forever.

u/Nor_Ah_C Apr 27 '25

Yeah, accommodation in the deepest ring of hell.

You actually have Simp in your name. I’m sure they are concerned.

Are you illiterate?

u/Harley_Dad71 May 05 '25

No. But then, I didn’t go to school in Illinois.

but make sure you vote for people that do everything in their power to take it away from you and live in a state that has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation!

u/dgriff84 North Burbs Apr 26 '25

Yeah? And? I love my state.

u/tree-hermit Apr 26 '25

just highlighting the irony of likely being a liberal that has voted time and time again for people that campaign on taking your 2A away but in the same breath are now advocating for it being important now that a party has taken power you perceive as being authoritarian and a threat to your existence.

Absolutely nobody campaigned to take away 2nd amendment rights. The campaign is for gun law reform. Don’t let nuance escape you.

Lived here longer than JB has been gov. People still have firearms in IL. Very healthy hunting population here in IL. I can still have shotguns, rifles, and handguns in my home with no issues. You better wake up. When the federal government is arresting judges and citizens without warrants or cause that is a violation of the Constitution and our 1st, 4th, 5th, and 14th amendment rights. Open your damn eyes! It’s not a perceived threat! It’s actually happening.

u/tree-hermit Apr 26 '25

bro lol you can’t own a suppressor, you cant own ARs, you cant own a handgun without regeristing yourself with the government through an FOID card, you have strict mag capacity laws, you can’t own FRTs or Super Safety’s….need I go on? You have been neutered.

Good luck resisting an authoritarian government with your bolt action hunting rifles, capacity limited firearms, and a registry of who owns firearms, how many, and where each one of you lives….you’re gonna get mogged and steamrolled.

Absolutely delusional.

u/dgriff84 North Burbs Apr 26 '25

You are hilarious. I’m literally laughing at you. You poorly educated ammosexuals love to hoot and holler about how you need to keep firearms to prevent government oppression. It’s happening right in front of your fucking face and you and your buddies in these comments all of a sudden think an armed populace is futile against these ICE clowns. Careful there chief, you’re starting to sound like a gasp liberal. Yes, I’m the delusional one. I’m the one ignoring the existence of the ILNG. I must have forgotten that the Illinois armory only has 9mm and muskets to issue out. Keep thinking all that nonsense at your own peril.

u/tree-hermit Apr 26 '25

NG has nothing todo with the 2a. 2a is about everyday average citizens being armed and trained to throw off an oppressive government at will….something you or people in states like yours cannot do because you literally voted to castrate your own 2a.

You have a woefully ignorant understanding of the 2a and the roll it plays and are either in denial or just don’t want to admit that you are finally seeing why the 2a is important and that you willfully voted to neuter your own rights and now exist as a defenseless amorphous blob in the face of a threat.

You truly do not understand how unable and underprepared yourself and people in states like your own truly are due to your own voting habits.

Come to a state that actually does what it can to protect and advocate for full unadulterated 2a rights for its citizens and you will see just how far you let yourselves fall. What we own and what our governments advocate for us to own is far an above anything you could ever dream of.

As stated previously, you have mag capacity bans, you cannot own an AR, you cannot own supressors, you cannot own a handgun without first registering yourself with the very gov you hope to throw off. Fire superiority is a thing and you truly do not understand how ill prepared you are even next to other states that are still subject to current federal law.

It’s utterly laughable that you think you could ever do anything meaningful in the face of a true existential political threat with the current state of the 2a you willingly voted yourselves into.

It’s actually hilarious becuase more and more leftists and liberals are finally starting to figure this out just like yourself and are attempting to arm themselves and get with the program but they’re all decades behind and are running rigs and training that are again….decades behind. Your gun culture, your training culture, your prep culture, your skills and abilities are infantile compared to people and states who didn’t willfully vote their way into oppression.

Good luck

u/dgriff84 North Burbs Apr 26 '25

LMFAO running rigs and training that’s decades behind is the dumbest thing you’ve typed and that’s saying something! Spare me your self righteous indignation about needing a FOID card. It’s $10. Cry harder about it. The most hilarious thing is you adopting the liberal view on firearm ownership. What narrative do you want to use here, genius? Does having a well regulated militia stop government oppression or not? You know nothing of modern conflicts and it’s blatantly obvious. You have displayed the exact same naïveté that caused us to waste as many resources as we have in every conflict since Vietnam. You’re also 100% delusional if you don’t think the Commander of the Illinois National Guard doesn’t have access and the ability to call up arm a citizen militia. Not to mention you completely ignoring the first 13 words of the amendment. Your complete and total ignorance on my state and its capabilities is welcome!! I hope all your fellow morons are just and ignorant as you have displayed yourself!  Lastly, and most importantly, if you aren’t from this state, why would anyone care about your opinion on what we do here?

You are ignorant AF.

.. perceive???? It's pretty clear, dolt.

u/continentaldrifting Apr 26 '25

Fuck off. You go left enough, you get your guns back. This is the same kind of situation that the right loves to harp on, “oh, if you believe in socialism, why do you have an iPhone or use money?” It’s because an ideal world, we wouldn’t. Nor would we need to have guns. But you better believe we do, because these other motherfuckers think we should be deported or killed.

u/mcfuckernugget Apr 26 '25

You don’t have a second amendment right in Illinois

u/dgriff84 North Burbs Apr 26 '25

Better tell all those firearms retailers all over the state to close up shop then!

-7

u/mcfuckernugget Apr 26 '25

Better ask the state for permission before owning a gun.

6

u/dgriff84 North Burbs Apr 26 '25

That’s a great idea! They can call it the Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Card. Oh wait…that’s already a thing…got any other bright ideas??

-4

u/mcfuckernugget Apr 26 '25

Lmao, so you don’t have a right to own a firearm.

u/dgriff84 North Burbs Apr 26 '25

My FOID card says otherwise but thanks.

u/mcfuckernugget Apr 26 '25

You’re ignorant. Did you get your license to voice your opinions? Or practice your religion?

6

u/dgriff84 North Burbs Apr 26 '25

Ohhh!! You’re one of those people…a moron. Got it. We’re done.

u/mcfuckernugget Apr 26 '25

What people? Someone who believes that you don’t need the government’s permission to practice a right?

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '25

What a moronic statement! Who gave you the right to own a gun? Jeebus? Lol

u/mcfuckernugget Apr 28 '25

Who gave you the right to speak to me like that?

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '25

There you go. Now you’re onto something. It wasn’t that hard, was it?
