| Chicago Plaintiff Otis McDonald is on the Right at the U.S. Supreme Court. |
Chicago, IL—For decades Illinois politicians have violated
the rights of citizens to keep and carry firearms guaranteed by our Second
Amendment. Ban after ban has been put in
place and with each new restriction crime skyrockets. Unconstitutional gun laws have protected the
thugs, thieves, rapists and killers of The Land of Lincoln.
First it was Heller vs. D.C and then it was McDonald vs.
Chicago the courts reaffirmed gun rights but the plaintiffs in those cases
won’t live long enough to enjoy their rights because of obstructionist delays
by tyrannical politicians that are apparently above the law of the land.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down
the gun carry ban and ordered Illinois to allow law-abiding citizen’s rights
restored. The politicians grappled with
the idea and failed. The finally passed
a confusing 168-page law laced with Gun Free Zones everywhere. If any gun carrier were to guess wrong a jail
cell would be waiting for them. Frankly
the new law cures little.
In addition to all the obscure Gun Free Zones are endless
delays in implementing the system and actually issuing the permits. Otis McDonald is a senior citizen and may not
survive long enough to get his gun permit that he and the
other plaintiffs won in court.
That goes double in the most dangerous city in America where he still
can’t legally protect himself.
Mary E. Shepard and the Illinois State Rifle Association
filed the original lawsuit demanding Illinois follow the law of the land using the
Supreme Court cases as authority. They won but there's no end to the shenanigans the defendant politicians have invented to obstruct, delay and disobey the Court;s order. We
have two new court motions dealing with the same controversy.
One is by the plaintiffs complaining that the new law is in violation
of the courts order and intention to restore gun liberty. The law has built in bogus delays and is
loaded with impermissible bans. They are
asking to enjoin the entire mess of old and new law making the state’s Firearm
Owner’s Identification Card a defacto Concealed Weapons Permit.
The second is a request to dismiss the entire action by the
offending politicians claiming that the new Concealed Weapons Law cures the
requirements of the Court’s decision and therefor the lawsuit should be
dismissed. I assume that Illinois
Attorney General has been smoking crack if she really believes any of the crap
she wrote. Both new motions are below.
