BREAKING: City of Champaign, Illinois, using COVID-19 outbreak to enact gun control

[NOTE: special thanks to Edgar County Watchdogs for getting the ball rolling with this story (we weren’t first to bring this up). MSM is starting to pick up on it as of 7:30pm 3/13/20 and not giving credit to where the story about it was first reported and instead linking the local NBC affiliate...

A while from now a whole bunch of gun owners there will have no idea this happened and will of course blame the NRA when they find out the people they voted for did this to them.

Champaign is a university town with very few non-indoctrinated residents. I visited friends there often in my younger days and have family there now. The population is more liberal than most Midwest cities. Professors, gender studies graduates working at Starbucks, etc. Some San Francisco tech companies have opened offices there.

Not surprising that people would vote in a gun-grabbing Hillary type. Go outside the town and you are in flat farmland where many people own and carry.

That is within general emergency powers. It is a "may" situation. The authority has always been there. Has the mayor actually acted on it? Sounds like someone was speed reading and noted "firearms" and went on full alert.

Problem is, if you don't slap these people HARD at their first powergrab attempt and equally vigorously on every one that follows, you get cases like how the Patriot Act led to weaponizing FISA against a President and his appointees who the walking garbage that make up the Deep State disapprove of.

You know the saying about the camel's nose in the tent...

I thought stuff like that was illegal via the court case Bateman v Perdue.

Guess they didn't get the memo?

Sadly people in power can pretty much do anything they please as long as the voters will keep them in office. Sure it may not pass muster but, the rub is someone has to challenge them. Then someone has to pay for the lawyers. Then the first judge or two may not care and say it's fine. So someone has to keep paying. It all comes back to the people who vote. If they are not going to stop this kind of stuff good luck with the courts. It may or may not pan out and it will not be cheap.

No... they need to be shot with the very weapons that they gave themselves the "authority" to ban... because they never had the authority to give themselves that "authority' in the first place.

Gun shops will get rich suing this broad for loss of business etc.
She has ZERO justification for shutting down gun sales. If she actually ever does it.

Bateman v. Perdue: Implications for Gun Restrictions During a State of Emergency - Coates' Canons

Stupid judge lacked the stones to say.... an armed populace of law abiding citizens WILL reduce crime and rioting because malefactors would be in fear of their lives.


Government quislings ALWAYS try to maintain the "power" of the State.... when in fact THE PEOPLE are the State, not the BUBBLEGUMMING GOVERNMENT!

 

[User 1234]

If the city takes any action to seize property or halt gun sales the NRA had better file suit.

 

[Tony617]

I was watching the Hurricane Katrina video sometime ago about seizing guns, and it was law enforcement not the national guard from what I could see. I clearly saw one raid it was looked like California Highway Patrol uniforms.

Nothing new.

While the media is inducing wide spread panic across the United States, all governments on both sides will be utilizing their new powers under "state of emergency" to enact all sorts of laws.

We won't even know what happened until the virus panic clears.
